Now, I wouldn’t say I’m the argumentative type, but I have been known to have console-war-esque debates with some of my Xbox-loving work colleagues – or pretty much anyone that dares to tell me that the PS3 is in any way inferior (heh). Yesterday at X10, Microsoft proved to the world why 2010 will be a landmark year for gamers by revealing the...
