To expand on the above, I've seen (a while back when I was in several threads with him) how he has a tendency to relate anything good to being 'like the Amiga' in some way. I really think the best explanation of that is that he has some kind of Amiga fetish, rather than trolling for profit. The PS3 connection is more arguable, but I suspect the same mentality.

That mentality: Amiga and PS3 are each some sort of heaven-sent device that is a technical masterpiece, ahead of its time, but died through no fault of its own / is being marginalized through no fault of its own. Any attack on (or criticism of) these (from a technological standpoint) will be regarded as misguided at best and, at worst, jealous hatred, because there is nothing about them that was not the best available choice.

There are a couple of interesting posts this morning over on one of the Amiga forums in regard to this with MikeB:

"Misinformation and deceiving as a tactics of promotion, didn't we see that from MikeB &Co during the "A1"/amigaworld.net/nazimoderation days some years ago? Yes, history is definitely repeating itself..."

LOL!  Oh I'm sure he has a few alts on here, just isn't using them all the time yet.
