In defense of Microsoft: A response to DMeisterJ

[Mummelmann]

Starcraft; are you seriously suggesting that only the PS2 buyers are buying Wii's and 360's? How about those who owned a N64, a Gamecube or an X-box?
Have they quit gaming alltogether or are they still using a console that abrubtly and completely lost support over night?
Every console sold is a loss for Sony, even PS3's. Sony cannot under any circumstance gain or win anything according to your reasoning, only loose.
You were a lot more reflected and clever before, this OP is just a very long piece of nonsense and only serves to prove that your feet are getting seriously warm underneath you on behalf of your console (which frankly is doing less than a stellar job at keeping the lead it gained over the year or so it "reigned supreme").
In its third year it is moving slower than the main competitor does in its second year without any of its most highly anticipated platform exclusives and a way higher pricetag. Even in its strongest markets (UK and NA) the 360 is loosing ground.
Compared to last gen I won't go so far as to say that the 360 is neither dead nor in trouble (it is beyond doubt that it'll perform better than the original box), but with your expectations it well and truly is.

And lol @slimebeast, I think you and starcraft are siblings, especially the first point cracks me up. The number of Playstations have gone from 210 to 230-240 million (220 to 250-260 million with the PSP) and Nintendo have not helped MS, they have buttsecksed them by surprise and utterly at that.
