No, actually, that was on the launch date in Canada, there was a B.B. gun drive-by. The PS3 also uses the 360's microprocessor, but it's slightly modified. Sony just tried to be too ahead of its time, by now though, the PS3 is selling like Hot cakes, but back in 2006, the PS3 was a complete failure because the technology, was just a prototype and developers needed time to get used to it. The PS3's technology isn't appealing to general consumers, but military and science labs love it.
