To get some things off my chest here about games and consoles
Xbox 360, oh how I haven't even turned you on in 7 months, I even bought Gears and got the new Halo to have the excuse to but nay I can't be bothered, even though you were free sometimes I feel you weren't worth the price as you're set up to be a money pit, from break downs to expensive hard drives, to basic functions other consoles have standard, such as wifi and online or hell you don't even have a web browser. Your exclusives are largely present on the PC for cheaper with better graphics and free online, how pity those that hold you so dear cause it's barely worth owning since every other option has your games, your online, and better reliability.
Sony, I love your PS3, now just shut the hell up, your PR is the worst thing since HIV, if you didn't say such stupid shit, make retarded commercials, and try to spin every situation in your favor (which in turn has droves of fans repeating your bullshit) I wouldn't wish a bad thing on you ever and actually feel bad that you lost all your PS1 and 2 profits on the PS3.
Nintendo, what is so wrong about wanting a standard name for all online games, if it was just one code I could understand but every game? No that's just ridiculous, it's not even like I can remember one of those codes to tell a friend at work to add me much less 12 of them, I know you want to save the world from pedophiles like Carl but PLEASE PLEASE don't take it out on gamers just give us the tools to restrict the kids from getting online.
Modern games, fuck your 6 hour length and trying to make me pay 60 dollars for a a game that ends 1/3rd the way through, just to sell another 60 dollar 6 hour game that doesn't even improve that much over the first, or hell doesn't even improve upon the standards of last gen. I hate your marketing machine hyping each game as the second coming of Jesus, you never turn out that great, you get your sales right out the door then wonder why you need to drop the price 2 months later when your game sucked no word of mouth spread and then you try to blame retailers and gamers. It's getting annoying and you can take your hyped up fans with you.
Kinect I haven't forgotten about you, no sir, your 500 million dollar marketing budget can say you're the next wave of motion gaming, but I played you, I know just what you are, which is laggy, expensive, and not all that fun. Microsoft you can pay Fox News all day to say good things about Kinect and not actually play it, but you really can't pay your way to a bigger and better market by doing exactly what Wii did built off the backs of word of mouth, in 2006 I was in college having everyone around me hyped to have Wii Sports parties and if you had the Wii it was a great way to get girls over to your dorm, in 2010 none of that happened, a few people went "well at least Dance Central is fun" and didn't care past that. Oh and I know it's anecdotal but whatever here's Dec 26th



So much for supply issues, that's basically how stock stayed for the entirety of the holiday season here, PS3s and Wiis selling out but you could always find some 360s and Kinects
