The reality of the videogame industry is NO ONE stays on top forever.  NO ONE.  That is how the game works.  Sony got lucky with the PS and PS2.  To manifest sheer arrogance, like Sony has been around forever, and feel as a fan you are entitled to be top dog, and think everyone needs to line up with your wish for the shape of the gaming universe, is absurd.

As far as the original XBox goes, Microsoft dropped it after their licensing agreement with Nvidia ran out, and they couldn't make it any longer.  At least they bothered to provide some semblance of backwards compatibility, which is something Sony threw out to save a few bucks in the making of the PS3.

LMAO. Do I care why MS dropped the original Xbox support? No.(Fact is they did and if they were 100mil sold worldwide I'm sure that Nvidia license you talk about would have been renewed)

Did I in anyway give the impression that Sony has been around forever? No.(If you read that again I clearly said they dominated the last 2 gens).

So I'm arrogant now because I stated facts about Sony being on top for the last 2 generations and stated how people love to see things on top fall. Yeah your reply was arrogant not my original post. So tell me Richard, a quick look at your profile shows you don't have any PS3 games added and you owned the Original Xbox.

So answer me this Richard Lol, why don't you have any PS3 games added to your profile and why did you get all sensitive about innocent comments over the original Xbox getting discontinued??? I know your one of the people I spoke about in my original comment right? You hate Sony because you bought a consol that lasted only 4 and a half years???

Also LMAO at the person who thinks MS dropped support of the original Xbox because Nvidia stopped making GPUS. Yeah dropped support 3 months before the release of the Xbox 360 LMAO. NO COMPANY STOPS MAKING THINGS UNTIL THERES NO MORE DEMAND!!! Do you honestly think MS couldn't have gotten Nvidia to make more GPUs if they wanted to LMAO.

Several things:

* Before you comment on someone's profile, you should actually look over it and see what they really own.  Unforunately you didn't do that.  If you had, you wouldn't be asking this.  You would see a sampling of what I have for the PS3.  Anyhow, what I own is IRRELEVANT to the subject I wrote on, about no one remaining on top forever.  It just doesn't happen.  You would of, if you had, seen also my ownership of a number of PS2 games, and maybe that should ask you how I play them.  Hint, I have a 60GB PS3 for them.  And excluded from the list of my PS3 games is games I HAD own that I beat, that I enjoyed.  And, hmm... you would of seen I had Sports Champions to.  Oh well.

Anyhow, in fanboy wars, not only is the top hated, but everyone else. 

On what I said, you should be aware of what happened:

Microsoft decides to switch graphic chip maker with the 360, and then pulled the plug on production, to save on costs and ramp up for the next generation launch.  But, feel free to see it as you like.
