The End is Nigh!

My Friends!
The day I have long predicted is coming soon! Soon, we shall see Microsoft decisively...

Aw Hell, enough with the theatrics.
Sony is reporting a BILLION DOLLAR LOSS. Sure, it ain't going to kick them out of the market, but it is rather sobering.

What's funny is the rabid P(o)S 3 fanboys commenting on this thread.

YOUR JUST A NINTENDO AND MICROSOFT FANBOY!

Seriously though, I expect PS3 to lose this time around. They left it too late so Microsot could get a firm market presence, and the fact I still think that console is overpriced.

Lol, if you lost one million dollars this year, then you did over 1000 times better than Sony.

*shoots guns in the air*

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR AMERICA!

HELL YEAH!! Suck on that one Sony!

In reality though, I don't want Sony to drop out, because it would go against my mantra:
Competition is good for you.

If they fail because they can't keep up with Microsoft, that's alright. I would rather have Nintendo fail and go develop third party games, but then we need a fourth company to jump in and keep the console war going...

Apple, maybe?

Sega

Sega is dead.

I believe we all know who is next, Google. That's right bitches, they made their own search engine, then internet browser, then phone, then operating system. It's only natural that a console is to follow. Knowing how awesome Google is, I doubt they would let us down.

Ignore.

Nintendo FTW!

[sorry for the double post]

There's a BIG difference between "overpriced" and "expensive."

The PS3 never was over-priced. It was the cheapest blu-ray player on the market, it had the AMAZING cell processor, and what was, at the time, pretty top-of-the-line graphics technology.

It was NEVER over-priced, and if you think $300 dollars is even expensive... you're fucking insane. A netbook costs $300.

Either way, Sony is nowhere near being out of the game. The PS3 only accounts for a small fraction of their losses. They've been loosing loads of money with their televisions, MP3 players, camcorders, laptops, ect ect ect, and if you really want to compare losses, Microsoft has done nothing but loose money with the XBOX brand. Setting up that customer-service repair center for the 360 alone cost them a whopping 3 BILLION dollars.

Sony will be fine.

Bullshit. You and I both know that if google made a console, it would be full of nothing but shitty casual games. Google is FULL of hippies and "hipsters." It would be almost as bad as an Apple console.

except microsoft did better than that.

microsoft Xbox 360 has become profitable this last spring.

I'm on the fence here.
Whereas Apple and Google would probably cater to the whole "Casual Gamer" mindset, Apple's way of doing business would work well with consoles. Then it would be up to third-party publishers...

Looks and sounds like shit so far.

The xbox already wins because microsoft's xbox is an experience not just a gaming console. well, it is if you let it be. i know some peopel that never look at the inside xbox or spotlight sections, though just quick glances keep you up to date in the gaming world.

Or you could just spend 3 minutes on the internet and get a non-bias opinion.

yes because "call of duty multiplayer videos" and "brutal legend demo" are biased, right?

Funny that you wouldn't just cite things like Netflix, or Facebook integration...

The 360 is more than a game console. It's a set-top device. That's the main reason Microsoft got into the console business. They realized that a video-game system is the key to DOMINATING the set-top market. Sony was doing it, so they thought they'd give it a try.

Non-biased opinion on the internet?

Would you also like to buy some crack from a mormon?

It all depends on where you look and who you trust.

And Inside xbox in my opinion are untruthful.
