I don’t know about you, but I think Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer’s elevator pitch for Windows Vista reveals his lack of confidence about his company’s major software product.

Playing GTA IV on the XBox 360 the other day, I happened to overhear the radio saying video games are bad for you, and that pretty much anything that threatens the movie industry and Hollywood is bad for you.

The perception used to be that Playstation would always have a plethora of good role playing games to choose from, and the XBox 360 was only for shooters, not so any more.

While Sony’s PS3 exclusives this year are outnumbered by the Microsoft XBox 360 in quality games in almost all genres, 2009 looks to be the year that the Playstation brand will finally make a comeback in. Why? Several reasons, some of which could put the 360 at a distinct disadvantage.

From start to finish this year the it looks as though the Xbox 360 will have continued to outnumber the PS3 in not just games, but games you want to play by almost 2 to 1, while Sony sprints to catch up. Does it really matter though?
