Blowing 25% of your cash position is crazy anyways. And it still doesn't change the fact a lot of the value of SE is based on it being multi platform developer. Take that away and the company is worth far less. So they would wind up buying a company that would wipeout a lot of their cash, and then destroy the value of it by making it a single platform developer. Makes about as much sense as a hole in the head. Cool, so no chance in hell of a quiet take over. Cell phones PSP PS3 PS2 is single platform ?

Er... so you're just going to ignore mine?  Well anyway no it's not that simple as I stated above.  Cell phones return almost no profit and they completely halted PS2 development after their FFXII expansion, so neither of those count.  Leaving you with 2 platforms with small userbases to try and turn a profit on.

Yes, it actually would have likely worked in 2001

Hey, give him some credit.  It was a good debate, he just didn't take into account some of the other factors you don't see on the surface.

Argument's done, why don't we actually talk about the OT perhaps?

Good plan, I still say it's Killzone footage (hopefully looking amazing)

"When was the last time you took your family to a $229 a night resort in Sedona, AZ for the weekend so you could let your kids ride on "Thomas the Tank Engine" and take a 2nd train the next day to spend the day at the Grand Canyon? That is a much better time than the PS3
However I put $300 into a 360 and games for my bros this xmas, bought them a $1000 computer last xmas"

==>so you also spend a lot of money 1300$ in technology on xmas
this a question of choice
This doesn't not only concern PS3
ofc it costs cost a lot (that is true)
but this the same for Xbox360 (how many good game in 1.5 year ?Xboxlive is not free ...)
and both console are expensive since u have to buy game

I don't argue that PS3 is worth the 600$ it costs
I just say that for the moment, PS3 and Xbox360, are for rich family ...
In fact, it explains why so few people have buy the Xbox360 or PS3 for the moment
They are waiting for cheaper system and more game
(note that it can change soon with the end year coming AND that doesn't concern Wii that is already selling a lot)
