Btw, I think overhyping a system is a much better practice than Microsoft's paying people to hype their system. Kinda reminds me of your arguments.
Also, I was too easy on this whole "the press is nice to Nintendo and Microsoft but hates Sony." Really? Because I'm pretty sure Home and Littlebigplanet were well received, especially the latter. The Elite has gotten hardly anything but terrible press because it's the stupidest move they've made in quite awhile. I'm sure EVERYONE was all excited about microsoft paying people to chat up the bright side of their system, huh?
As for Nintendo, the fact that they won't allow developers to have online games until they do is just great. I'm sure everyone loves that as well. Screw third parties.
EDIT: I'm sure folding@home and plans to use PS3s as supercomputers are generating negative press as well. Doubling the output to attempt to solve problems relating to terrible diseases. Just terrible, Sony, terrible.
