Did you not see Simpsons?

M$ didn't become powerful by spending money.

"Microsoft are not stupid"

? They lost over 7billion dollar with their xbox adventure and still loosing money.

Any other firm would have made a fabulous console and a bunch of must have games with this money. And what has MS managed: A broken console and a big minus.

If you look at how much lower Sony's Game Division's profit was leading up to the release of the PSP and PS3 and combine that with how large their losses have been since then you will notice that Sony has lost as much as Microsoft (or more) on the PSP and PS3 as Microsoft lost on the XBox and XBox 360. The difference between Sony and Microsoft's financial statements is the super popularity and profitability of the PS2 hide the expense of launching a console, whereas Microsoft has had to depend on their other divisions to subsidize their launches.

^ Troll much?

Please... don't post stupid things like this. Really.

Amongst the many "beyond" stupid posts and repetitive fanboy console bashing and and same old back and forward MS is better and SONY is better posts, I thought something light hearted and clearly a JOKE would be a nice change. Clearly many people on this site lack a sense of humor or are not intelligent enough to differentiate between a joke and something of a more serious nature.

If you are one of these people, please refrain from polluting this thread. It is very clearly a nothing more then a joke and therefore doesn't need your negative, pessimistic, feedback.

Thank you.

Judging by the responses you're getting, I think you're the one that lacks the intelligence to differentiate between a joke and something of a more serious nature.

You know a joke's gone sour when people start pulling out profit and loss figures....

I can't be held responsible for someone's lack of understanding. As for my lack of intelligence in differentiating, unless you can justify it with factual proof, could you kindly retract your statement. 

That's a win statement if there ever is one.

I can see Bill's henchmen now.
