^ as much as some might want to, they're are not mutual exclusive. I can also asure you that that (fine) girl from Lisbon's Sony store didn't care much when I told I liked my 360 a lot, she sure tried to push me a PS3.

I'll be back there tomorrow, not to buy it though (yet)

For Sony at least.

I think this is becoming a habit among developers and manufacturers: split your announcement by developer region, so that you'll have announcements in each conference (E3 for US projects, GC for EU projects and TGS for Japan projects).
