No... if you had 300 bucks burning a hole in your pocket and you wont buy a system just because you're to much of a fanboy... that is where you hand in your Gamer title and were you Idiot Badge.  I'm not talking about picking one system over the other for your first purchase... simply if you have the money and you don't get it because of fanboy reasons that's just retarded... maybe you know I'm getting old and all this stuff drags down on me a little.

 AND 

You mistake yourself if you think I'll be buying a new PS3... I gave my PS2 to my son so I'll be hitting up pawn shops and ebay when I do get one... so my sale wont count... but then it's the games that give sony the money.  If I can find one for under 200 I'll probably pick it up... I can't afford anything more than that at one time... any extra money at the end of the month goes towards debt... for now anyway. 

I'm just really tired of the fanboys saying "Xbox 360 is going to die" or the "PS3 is done"... If it wasn't for Xbox your PS3 wouldn't have a HDD and if it wasn't for the 360 you'd probably just now be getting your PS3s this holiday. And if it wasn't for Sony threatening the home entertainment center then Microsoft would have never jump into the console buisness.  I just wish the people who want their console to "kill off" the other console would leave the internet.  It's fine to have a preference and debate over the merits of each console, but wishing ill on another console destroys compition.  Ok so I havn't slept in 25 hours... so if it doesn't make sense sorry :p

You didn't mention that it could have gone the other way. He simply corrected you.

If the margin of error is +/- 20k and the Xbox 360 is considered to have 'won' by 10k, then if the margin of error follows a normal distribution curve you could easily say with probability above 80% that the Xbox 360 won August.
