Back in November of 2006 Gates referred to Sony as the "real competition".  Here's a statement from Thompson, a guy Gates put in place to run PR for the 360:

"[. . .] at a product comparison level it's not competing with us at all.

[. . .] 

        "People will make a clear decision as to whether they want that sort of product – a kids toy – or they want high-definition gaming and entertainment and all that it brings."

Interestingly, and as I've mentioned, most of those people with 360s don't know it's high definition.  So it looks like Microsoft is completely out of touch with reality yet again.  Also, their toy is somehow different than Nintendo's toy.


I guess he changed his mind, just like many analysts.

To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.
