Whether or not the gaming public is ready to embrace them, these next-generation consoles are coming.  Sony has officially fire the first salvo.  Six and a half years ago, Microsoft caught Sony with their pants down when it released the Xbox 360 first and it looks like Sony is ready to get some revenge this time around.
