1. It's got "an" excuse, not got "a" excuse. :)
2. I never in this or any other post defended M$ for losing money, nor have I ever defended Sony for losing money. Losing money is always bad business. I simply said Nintendo has the best business model because they make money every quarter of every generation (even when they are in dead last) and have consistently made money since the late 1800's. I do however think M$ has done a damn good job of keeping Sony at bay and seem to be widening their lead on an almost weekly basis. I never expected them to still be in second at this point, especially after the "Rings of Death", but they seem to be a step ahead of Sony at every turn this gen. And Sony came into this Gen as the clearly expected winner. Sony is dead last in sales this gen because of Sony, period.
3. I waited in line for 31 hours to get a launch 60g PS3, and that line was very long behind me. Coming off the PS2 the line should have been long. It's still shocking to me that Sony f'd this gen up this bad. I'd love to see an underdog come back, but Sony's bad business and Nintendo's good business are what made last gen's clear winner this gen's loser (up to this point) and vice versa.
4. Sony has LOTS of great announced games coming. The Wii and 360 do not have as many interesting titles announced at this point (though I think the Wii lineup looks good right now, the 360's is either not announced fully yet, or is much weaker than Sony's). Sony could come back in a big way, however every tick of the clock makes it a harder battle. Every 360 sold means another potential PS3 sale might not happen. Not so much with the Wii, but Sony has to start beating M$ on a consistent weekly basis to come back this gen, and that is currently not the case. Maybe with the holiday lineup.......
