Whatever you're smoking, I'd love a little.

How did you feel betrayed by the DS, exactly? I really don't see how it is a disappointing machine at all.

I PRAY you're being sarcastic about the cocky comment. As a "full-fledged Sony supporter", maybe you just looked the other way when Kutaragi made endless claims that "Sony will sell 6 million consoles by the end of the fiscal year" (they ended at less than 3 million), "Sony will sell millions on launch, even if there weren't any games" (there were games, and it sold like crap), and "The PlayStation 3 is such an amazing machine, we should sell it at more than $599!" (turns out that was far more a deterrent than they expected)

At this point in this generation, Nintendo's already made enough cash to keep themselves afloat even if they just altogether stopped selling until next time around. And even if they did drop out, they said they'd stop making hardware when they stop making software.

Every once in a while I have to wonder how delusional some of the Sony fanboys are (then again, all fanboys are pretty delusional, and there are plenty Sony fans that are realistic), and then I see posts like that and realize that there still are people in denial.
