pretty much what i had expected before clicking into the article... xbox ahead because of the earlier release date, then wii, coz its kick ass (

)and was released earlier then the PS3 and PS3 last because of relatively late release and (relatively) high cost

I'm interested to see if Heavenly Sword has any affect at all when it comes to moving consoles before christmas.

^ Do you think Heavenly Sword will really be a system seller for the general consumer?

I wouldn't have thought so.

^no, not for the casual gamers that everyone seems to be focusing on, but there are those that are watching the ps3 closely, waiting for a good game to come out before they go out and get one, i think that this game will shift them over (if it even appeals to them)

so while it won't affect casual gamers, it should have an affect for those that are up to date with the gaming community but are just sitting on the fence for the time being.
