As far as the innovation, and features are concerned, then I don't know what you are talking about...Please explain yourself.
How is PS3 a failure? It has outsold 360 in Europe, considering the fact that it is a whole year younger than 360. It is a massive leap beyond Ps2, and currently the most technically advanced console of the three.
The game that you are talking about "on both consoles", then they are called Multi-platform games. A console is known for its exclusives, and nothing more.
Blueray is for enhancing speed, space etc etc...
Please do your reseach...

Actually, I am very well educated about video games and my future career will be in game design. I know
technically the Wii specs are just a slightly upgraded GameCube. In terms of GAMEPLAY, the Wii is completely new and original. In terms of Xbox and Playstation gameplay, they are just the same. Pretty graphics, similar controller, same old same old. I know what Blu-Ray is for and I know I don't need it. The disks can hold more space than normal CDs so the games can be bigger. Consoles can be technically brilliant, but if the games are just the same as all the others there is no point.
I know they are called multi-platform thank you very much. As a game player whether a console is technically great doesn't matter. The fun you get from playing the game does, in my opinion, as that is the actual POINT in playing games at all. In terms of graphics and all the other pointless technical power sucking, of course Playstation wins. Have you seen the price on the thing?
So what if PS3 is doing better than 360 in Europe? Globally it is doing the worst out of the new gen consoles.

Nope. So maybe in Europe it's doing better than Xbox 360, big wow, but the rest of the world isn't buying it.
