@ Blackhawk: lol. I've been lurking here for a while, so I know who the fanboys are. We've got leo-j for the PS3 and Soriku for Wii, though I have noticed that Soriku is much more 'neutral' towards other consoles than aggresively against them lol.

@ Chrono: It's true that both other Sony consoles had slow starts, but there are a few key differences here:
-none of them were $599 to begin with
-Sony pretty much had no competition during either of their launches (competition came a year of two later)
-The general image of Sony as a company wasn't down the craphole with the PS1 or PS2

@ Eugene and Takeru: I completely agree with both of you

@Serious:
1. Thanks :D
2. Actually, roughly half of them were either my brother's that he let me use or were birthday/xmas presents.
3. No :P


"Oh and I agree completely about what you had to say on the DreamCast."

Dreamcast was awesome! Too bad mine got stolen once I finaly bought my first game for it :( . (I'd rented/played demos before)

 Well respectively they weren't much cheaper sadly, they did have competition with the N64, then the Dreamcast and Sony's immage is doing fine, the PS3 is on par with the 360's first year, the wii is just doing great :D
