Sometimes I have to just come into these threads to enjoy the show.
The sad matter is, that the executives for Sony, MS, and Ninty don't view the corporations as embodiments of good and evil like the console fanboys do. They just realize they are all after the same thing - some cash in hand.
Earlier this generation, I was much more swayed by all the fanboyism. But maybe after starting my MBA program, I realized how stupid all of this emotional stuff over corporations are. I still have my biases because I like certain companies' offerings more than others.
Seriously, getting wound up in what these companies say about each other is just plain stupid. You should care more about their actions and what they do for you as a consumer than what they say about the company that you all believe graced by the 100% purity from god himself (not that I believe in him/her, but that's a different topic).
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
Conservatives: Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.
