I'm a former Nintendo fanboy and more of a Sony fanboy this generation. The gaming and feature offerings mean much more than sales numbers, popularity, hype, anti-hype, etc. My love for Nintendo was based on my love for their core series. I'm still waiting for a proper Zelda (no GC port).
As far as MS goes, I definitely like some of their less popular offerings this gen like ToV and Lost Odyssey. Gears and Halo mean very little to me. My experience with MS has mostly been bad as a company, so even if I buy their products, you won't see me standing up for them.
"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.
