Hopefully MS and Sony will take each other out. That would leave video games to the one company who knows how to make money off them or maybe encourage Sega to return allowing for the video game industry to be run by actual video game companies.

These are exactly my thoughts. Neither Sony nor MS actually belong in the video game industry. Before entering the video game business they were mostly known for dirty hi-fi equipment and boring office software, respectively. Besides, Sony and MS are exactly the same - the only difference between them is the country of origin and the fact that MS has way more money to throw out than Sony. But both are greedy juggernauts with no tradition in the video gaming sector. Sony in addition are the Sega murderers...

Verdict: Sony's just as bad as MS, if not worse.

 Both of you need to go to the nearest place of higher education and enroll in the most basic econ class on the carriculum......asap.

Whether you like it or not, without Sony and MS we may have been sent back 6 years in progress (Online support, cartridge games) for our videogame lives.

There was a fine grey area around the n64 launch and Sony moved the videogame market forward while nintendo was slacking, and MS did the same with online play and expectations.  While they may not be as curcial as Nintendo overall, to assume wed be at a better place with just nintendo is assenine
