So when the steam box concept (and implementation) failed miserably and was derided by gamers, that was completely accepted as a really dumb idea. But now that Sony is attempting that exact same concept with their Playstation brand it is suddenly a forward-thinking and natural evolution of the console market? Wtf?
A "console" that periodically has a toss-and-replace disposable business model that fractures the user base is just a stupid, misguided idea. Period. No amount of spin or rose colored glasses will change that fact.
