It was well written. but you can smell favoritisms everywhere. Mostly against Sony. I know you are trying to hide it and you are doing a decent job at it, but it's still noticeable by a long shot

I hope you continue to contribute to news article, but as to whether you would make a good mod. No, I don't think you will. Same reason I don't think I will.

starcraft = Wii Fanboy (w/ 360)

I won't deny out of the three the Wii is doing quite well, but you seem to list the 360 as more successful than the PS3, which simply is not so. Like most, you forget the 360 has a year headstart, and like most, you forget the MS "Gaming" division is not just Xbox, but Zune, and mobile software are also apart of it. That being said the Xbox even with its 1 year headstart still has lost more than Sony.

Overall, in success, it is clear it would go Wii, PS3, and thne 360.

I do nothing of the sort.  In fact I reached no conclusions, but listed each console individually in the respective categories.

In terms of sales, you have to understand that third-party developers do not care if the 360 had a years headstart, just as they did not care that the PS2 got a years headstart over the Gamecube and Xbox.

In terms of game quality, see metacritic/gamerankings.

In terms of profit....well I don't see how you can argue with this, the statistics are all there.  As you mentioned, the Zune is part of the "gaming division," what you didn't mention is the strong possibility that the Zune isn't profitable, making the 360's financial performance even more impressive.

In terms of perception...I gave Microsoft a bit of a beating, and gave Sony their due in Europe, so I don't see your point.

In terms of momentum I once again said that relative to the PS3 the 360 is slipping.

In terms of marketshare.....please, don't even try to argue for Sony on this one.

I agree starcraft would make a good contributer (although we all know he's a fanboy) but as mod.......f**k no.
