Not really infact I went out and bought a 360 just the other day and have plans to pick up a ps3 sometime in the future. I -prefer- nintendo if you want to call that fanboy whatever. My point is I like how you say "oh here come the nintendo fanboys flaming again" when all I really see is you fighting logic with the outrageous "You're a fan boy!" It's like arguing about God with a Christian. "Well who made God?" "Nobody made God he just is.." Do you see how difficult that is to argue even though it makes absolutely no sense to any rational human being?(I'm not saying God doesn't exist just that looking at it from a rational objective perspective... you would not believe it period.) I didn't mean to be insulting with the drug comments but damn man, before you complain about flaming, look at the flame bait you post everywhere. A lot of people are very passionate about their favorite game systems and I can understand you may be too but you're a bit excessive at times. Maybe you'd want to tone it down and be more oh what's the word, open minded. In addition look at the facts, anytime you outsell the competition, it doesn't much matter by how much. At this rate the PS3 - Wii sales would need to do a total flip for 3 or 4 months for Nintendo Wii to be considered in trouble of "burning" Cost as you put it is not an ultimate factor, it -is- a big factor but so is value. If something is a good value people will buy it despite the cost. If the PS3 indeed was some monster that could not be contained the price tag.. well wouldn't contain it, at least not as much. I think a big factor we need to look at here also is a LOT of people saw and still do see Sony as arrogant and ignorant, something Nintendo did during N64 and look what happened there.. Brand name never means much, consumers will always jump ship for the value. Sorry that was a little long winded.
