Yeah, these PS3 demos did bring up suspicions based on PS2's unveiling and tech-demos, and how it never fully lived up to the hype... But a girl can still dream!

I mean we all know that the numbers show that PS3 is increeeedibly powerful... The problem is, Xbox360 has a fairly lackluster showing (of games which I've heard were actually running on things that represent only about half of the 360s full power), then PS3 blows everyone's socks off with these amazing demos and claims, and people scream "That can't be real!"...

So basically right now it's a matter of having faith and adopting a wait and see approach...

Even if those tech demos are to PS3 as PS2's were to... PS2... I still think this generation's graphical leap will be much bigger than some people were expecting (and recently doubting based on Xbox 360s 'Xbox 1.5' showing)...

Jeez, my posts are getting longer... Reminds me of back in the day... PS2 vs. Dolphin! Xbox roflmao it's just a glorified PC!!!

It's good to be getting back into all that excitement again (^-^

Edit: Now Neo's got me damn excited... I hope this isn't a let down...

I'm hoping for a more in-depth revealing of the Revolution... It's controller perhaps... I thought that the way Iwata (or whoever it was) brought up the controller, but then said "Which we will be showing you... sometime later" or something like that seemed a tad suspicious if you ask me... He chuckled as people sorta sighed in dissapointment...

E3 tends to be very top-heavy... Starts off with a bang, goes out with very few details... I think it'd be quite rad if Nintendo got people's hopes down, then bam left the show with a bang...
