Doesn't competition produce better quality? I really don't see how your arguement goes True now theirs 2 different audiences The Wii market and the Microny market But I really don't see how to companies fighting can cause each other to short circuit and die MS and Sony were both going after the same, identical markets. A market which wasn't big enough for both players. So, in the end, one would have to die. In this case, it was Sony blowing their nuts off with a nuke that's doing it.

You know, as laughable as that Tokyo Drift movie is, one line does come to mind over this. I don't know if I have the quote exact, but it goes something like this. "For want of a nail, a horseshoe was lost. For want of a horseshoe, a horse was lost. For want of a horse, a message was undelivered. For want of a message, a war was lost." It isn't the big, bad, expensive Cell processor that may well spell the death of Sony as a company, but rather a cheap, $3-5 blue laser diode. Go fig.

Wow. So, you mean the esteemed Sony, who went on record as saying they'd have 2 million units at launch, short of anything but a natural disaster or a manufacturing plant blowing up, has just handed the crown back to Nintendo, on a platinum platter? Not only is Sony not going to be in the EU for another 5 months, Nintendo is going to be there, and will have FOUR times as many units available at launch, plus another 2 million units by the end of the year, and Sony will be lucky to break 1 million units in total, by then. So.. anyone up for Metroid Prime 3?

Bah, if you want to swing your storage ePenis, wait a couple more years for HVDs to come out. With 100+GB per layer, you'd be able to get a lot more bang for your buck. The sweet spot for HDTV is 720p. You get HD quality, without using as much storage space, and you don't go about wasting what almost a full 1/3 of HDTV owners have as their maximum. And I still laugh at the laughably long loading times the PS3 will have. Trying to pump 4+ times the data, through something running as fast as a 4x DVD drive(2x BD-ROM=4x DVD-ROM stream speeds), when the PS2 had a 2x DVD drive in it. That means you'll be looking at no less than double the loading times. And then, there's the latest coming from sony, in what the PS3's slogan is. "This is living". So, apparently the PS3 is no longer a game console, or an entertainment node, or even a home appliance. The PS3 has become a lifestyle, in and of itself.

Hey, just something I saw over at another place and thought might be interesting for here. http://infernix.net/wowban/ Someone was banned for using a Logitech gaming keyboard that has a macro feature, even though it(apparently) isn't against the ToS or AuP. Personally, since I don't play the game, I don't know what the ToS actually says, but figured it would just be good for some conversation.
