This is a little ironic coming from the company that was running games on Mac workstations at its first, pre-360 release, E3.

you mean the render-targets at e3 2k5 sony showed?

No, I mean '360 games' running on Mac workstations at E3 2005, and not 360 hardware.

(And don't make he grave error that I'm a PS fanboy, but Nelson's comment is asinine in light of MS' previous history on this matter on 360 *and* XBOX.)

They did but they officially said that it was running on mac - the render-targets from Sony were talked about after E3 when Sony had to admit that the demos didn't show real hardware which could also be seen when the PS3-KZ2 was shown.

They did what? When MS revealed their machines neither were running on final silicon. Sony did the same thing last night and somehow Nelson thinks this is 'quaint', which is hilarious given their own previous behavior. 

Personally, I wish SONY had final (or at least working) hardware so we would have a better idea of how realistic the WIP games will be, graphics-wise, on actual machines.
