Yeah see this was never about Nintendo being 'beaten at their own game'....I was merely making it clear that the extra time Sony's had also came with some cons as well, so like marconelly! points out, it only matters what is out right now. Also I'm not here to call anyone a hypocrite, like I said, I'm just saying that Sony's extra time to build up on more platformers isn't really the issue here, because they could have waited an extra year too and had better technology to put into their system.
Keep in mind that I bring up the technology issue merely for argumentative sake to show that Nintendo had the extra time to put out whatever they saw the competition didn't have ...I say this because I know it probably seems off topic to the whole software issue.
