#1 "Pete" -- uh, good theory, Pete. "...raise prices as game titles develop." The London School of Economics called and they want your degree back. In the face of competition (Sony) what exactly would raising prices do to Microsoft's market share? There you go. The hat goes ON the head.
#4 "JT" -- "never" and "always" and "until I can afford" sound like fanboy talk. I never said I'd never buy a Mac. I said I'd buy a Mac when Apple had a real operating system. Now I've got a Mac and a few PCs. This irrational polarity and brand loyalty is amusing, but I suppose when one's pre-teen identity hinges on having the same platform as their friends, you don't risk thinking for yourself. If the PS3 has compelling games, I'll end up with one. Most of the loudest voices in the "console wars" aren't even qualified to compare the two technically, so all thats left is how pretty the box is and what games play on it.
Can people write anything more interesting about the console market other than merely cast their lame vote as to whether or not they'll buy one or the other?
Vive le PS3 and the 360. Competition is good. Quality is driven up, prices driven down. (taking notes Pete#1?)
Give up the treehousey little boy's club mentality. You are not your gear. You are not the labels you're wearing. But when you're 14 and terrified about not fitting in, you don't tend to think straight like that, you want things in black and white, what's cool and what's not. Sooooo original.
Nobody cares which one you buy or don't buy. Buy both, buy none. Why all the loud crowing? What do you have to gain from promoting the product you probably haven't even bought yet?
