What? People are per-ordering a console that launches in two months and at the very end of a console generation? I've never heard the likes of it in my life.

The news here is it is completely sold out so what is the point of your comment?

This is fairly common for both hardware and software, that's my point. Amazon and baby seals and all that.

So you came to this thread just to say, every new platform does this, even though I don't remember this happening for the Vita? But maybe I'm wrong and it did. Are you sure you don't hate Ninty? You seem to only post negative things about them.

The Vita? The Vita is a flop, in my honest opinion. Handhelds have overstayed their welcome and will be fazed out of the market within 5-10 years. I don't hate Nintendo, I just don't see the vision and plan with the WiiU, the console has no focus and is all over the place and I cannot fathom why some people expect it to perform on par with the Wii.

As for my gaming preferences; I play the PC and that's pretty much it. I own all three consoles but I don't really use them, except my PS3 for movies, that is.
