Xbox 720, mainly because the Xbox has Halo and most people love the Halo franchise. And sure the ps3 has better definition, but the Xbox 720 will be able to compare to it. The Xbox controllers are much more comfortable than playstation controllers.
Also, much more people globally use xbox live than the playstation; hence, xbox is way more competetive.
Sundance I doubt that the next-gen (PS4/XBOX 720) will be the last of the "true consoles", or at least if it wasn't, I highly doubt that mobile phones would beat them or replace them. That doesn't even make sense in the long run. You are probably right about games going to download-only (similar to Steam), though.
As for which I'm going to get, not entirely sure.
Graphical wise any game will look better on PC, obviously. Assuming that you have PC good enough to run game at such graphics settings.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
