Im going to call anyone who disagreed with me an Xbot who wanted to sabotage the PS3s future! I guess thats fair...

No, you've got the wrong idea

If the PS3 outsells the 360 this Christmas I predict alot of 360 fans will say 'sure we knew that this would happen anyways'

I'm just saving this thread for potential occasions like that, kk? ;p

Oh no... its more that they won't care anymore (apparantly)

Personally I got peeved by the fact that so many people came back to the site or started posting more when the Xbox 360 started doing better. A true fan doesn't abandon the system when the times get tough... its a lack of courage and integrity which I hate the most.

If the PS3 starts outselling the 360 again expect a new squadron of Sony folks to fly in (although apparently this place is already 'flooded' with them).

You're right of course, they're not real fans, they are simply one-sided glory hunterz.

Yup, for better or worse since I predicted it im going to update my signature every week to display the relative performance of the systems for the 10 week holiday period. Meaning if im wrong I'll be doing to myself a 3 month signature embarrassment.

Now, there aren't many people with the balls to do that!

seece said: I think you need to keep in mind though Kantor, that Microsoft are a bunch of loons, I'm starting to wonder if a big fanboy is running Microsoft Xbox HQ They will do anything to win!

Lol, that's Microsoft in general. They try and buy out or destroy their competitors, and if that doesn't work, they lie back for a while, then make a new product and try again.

Examples of their failed attempts to get rid of rivals are the original Xbox (with the PS2), MSN/Windows Live/Bing Search (which all got owned by Google) and Internet Explorer (which is rapidly losing marketshare to Firefox, though Microsoft still have a majority so they're not going to bother with Bing Explorer or IE 360 or whatever )

When it comes to search engines, MS is the challenger. Google is a very strong brand, but MS and Yahoo try to give google some competition. I don't think, this is a bad thing. I really like Bing, but I do like google as well. 

The Windows Live Messenger is the best on the market and the Xbox360 (especially Xbox Live) is a success so far.

The Internet Explorer is by far the most used browser in the world.

It is just wrong to say "MS goes in and tries to destroy the competitors." MS is running a business, not a fanboy war. They want to make some money, like everybody else. They see some interesting markets (gaming / Instant Messenger / Search engines) and they jump in. Did they buy anybody to do so? No. They created a product and participated. They have the ressources to do so and they are doing it. They did not buy one single competitor and did not destroy the competition.
