Ich bin ein Berliner

Germany has taken alot of flack over the years for, oh I don't know:  World War I, World War II, David Hasselhoff's music career, etc. Maybe that's why it seems like piling on when Colin Campbell of Next-Gen.biz puts an entire country near the top of a list of reasons why the transition to next-gen has sucked:

"Xbox 360 was supposed to bridge the gap between the now generation and the next generation; a glorious launch offering publishers a six month boom-time of sales to excited hardcore consumers.

It didn't happen because some components for Xbox 360 – said to be sourced from the land of efficient manufacturing – were in short supply. Vorsprung Durch Technik my ass."

Ouch. Haven't gamers blown away enough German infantry  to earn the land of bier and lederhosen a bit of slack? Afterall, they just kicked American butt in the Winter Olympics. They know nothing Colin! Nothing!
