Granted, we are talking about history but there are two things to remember:

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. George Santayana

False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
. Adrienne Rich

Meaning that Sony and Microsoft made some mistakes that hurt them; so they need to understand and not repeat them. And they had better not listen to the trade press and the so called experts like Pachter who has changed his predictions more time than the weatherman. Other are worse, I read another column repeating that the Wii is a joke, It’s sales will crash, the owners put it in the closet and never buy games. Almost everyone was saying that back in early 2007 but this was written last week. Obviously he wasn’t someone to let mere facts and figures influence him in the slightest.So I think it is important for actual gamers to discuss these issues. Hopefully someone will read them and learn.
