I agree that Sony might sound more like a company who is going to control our living rooms, but Microsoft has shown that they are willing to through money around and lose lots of it ust to go ahead of Sony.
Next gen will look different... iether Nintendo shapes up and takes 2nd place or takes a beating... or PS3 is going to have to compete with the XBox 2. Eventually Microsoft will hit #1 if the continue on losing money and poushing the X-Box hard.
That's why "I" believe that Nintendo's best bet is to make a pure gaming console... because they won't and can't go head to head with Sony/MS.
As long as their is competition, I'll be happy. I mean Sony needs something to counter attack it. But if Microsoft starts doing something funny with the X-Box, average joe won't realize it... I mean we gamers would probably boycott the X-Box... but does that really matter when the casual go for what's trendy without realizing the dangers.
I mean I have Windows on my PCs... all I can say is that the damn thing comes with spyware biult in... same with MSN messenger. It keep track of everything I do on the net which is later sold by Microsoft. Thank god for Lavasoft's Adware programs... no damn spyware on PC. Same thing will happen with X-Box... why do you think they are pushing live so hard??
Cool... I watch TV so rarely I don't remeber the last time I did. rubbish is what it mostly offers.
