S.T.A.G.E. said:
You obviously do not know what ignorance and arrogance applies to. Microsoft was trying to beat Sony to the punch. The word for that is called desperation, not arrogance. Sony had the fault hardware last gen trying to beat the Xbox out of the gate. Should I call your way of thinking a double standard or not? MS isn't alone in damaging the console scene because both they and Sony are in this console race for all the wrong reasons. Sony wants to monopolize the gaming market so they can use it to control formats, because in the electronics depardment they will get their asses handed to them by the likes of Panasonic and Samsung.

Sony did not come out first in hopes of beating the XBOX. The original XBOX kept getting delayed of it's own accord.
"Microsoft repeatedly delayed the console, which was revealed at the end of 1999 following interviews of then-Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. Gates stated that a gaming/multimedia device was essential for multimedia convergence in the new times, confirmed by Microsoft with a press release."

PS2's hardware issue was not because of it being rushed to market, just a mishap in production. Yet PS2 hardware failure still has nothing on 360 hardware failure.
Greatness Awaits
