Why do you criticize something that benefits the consumer?

Some of us here are investors first, consumers second. 

I don't hate Sony, I just dislike the $600 (soon to be $500) price tag. That's it. Everything else about the system is great: free online, rechargeable controllers, beautiful graphics. BR is okay, but i wouldn't use it.

I think the biggest thing that is overlooked by everyone is the fact that the controllers are rechargeable. Wii & Xbox 360 controllers are $60(for the set) and $50 respectively and it still costs extra for rechargeable battery packs. That's bullsh*t.

Sorry, I couldn't let that go.

Sony is one of the best makers of batteries. PERIOD.

The "exploding battery" thing was ridiculous, because it was only Dell (see, even their competitiors use thier batteries) Laptops that had the problem, the Sony ones never did, so it was more of Dell's fault than Sony's but, it seems everyone blames Sony for it.

If you don't believe me that Sony is good at making batteries, take this into account, when I got my Walkman, it had a battery life of 48hrs, and equivalent iPod had a battery life (at that time) of about 20hrs.

Seriously, if you don't like a company because they're so good at making batteries (and are in many products), then you need to get your priorities straight.

On-topic, it's just because there's a loada Nin fanboys on this site. Also I like them (Nintendo), but nobody seems to remember how they totally screwed Sony, they just remember/know of how Sony totally screwed Nintendo and Microsoft last 2 gens, personally, I think that Sony is the least monopolistic of the three. I mean they never had as great percentage of the VGConsole/Hanheld market that Nintendo has at point enjoyed, and of course anybody who says Microsoft isn't Monopolistic, is totally ignorant really. How many people know that the EU is constantly fining Microsoft for owning so much of the market, albeit it's not that much compared to their profits. The fact that Sony is seen as monopolistic I think is the biggest reason IMO.

Ignorance and jealousy pretty much sums it all up.

I see... So which one do have stock in, Sony or Microsoft?

 Neither, I've owned Nintendo since June 06 and i'm very happy

I see so that's why you're against Sony and Microsoft, for not being more competitive with their price and specs and taking away business from Nintendo.  You make a hell of a lot of sense.

If I felt for a second that Sony or MS has a better business strategy, I would jump ship faster than you can say sell/buy.

The fact of the matter is that if I'm wrong in my analysis, I lose money. So far I haven't been wrong.

LOL, good thing your analysis with stock is a lot better than your prediction of sales in the prediction league, otherwise you'd likely be broke ;)
