Actually Bill Gates has gone on record saying he never said that quote. What's strange is that it's all over the Internet but it can never be attributed to a speech or interview he did.

Ummm, Bill Gates owns a lot of stock in MS, but he is not in charge nor the head of it.

Recently.
Some telecomunications dude overtook him (I think he was Brazillian - I can't remember).
I'm pretty sure most ordinary people think of Sony as a Consumer Electronics company first, and Games company second.
The most retarded part is the fact that in 20 years, Microsoft has only had 2 successful products: Operating Systems, and Office Suite Applcations. And both are software, for the same platform. Way to go being a multi-product company. Perhaps Bill only recognises ventures if they lose billions of dollars. I'm suprised there wasn't a direct mention of YouTube.
Actually hes from mexico.

It's called "selling your product". Sort of a necessarily procedure when it comes to public relations.

Things that have changed since the last Generation of Gaming:
- Nintendo has shown us you can have the best selling console of all time with virtually no games for it.
- Graphics suddenly matter to Sony fans but Reverse Compatibility and Dual shock oddly enough don’t.
- Kiddy Crap is trendy with Hardcore gamers now that it’s no longer Nintendo’s “thing” (Viva Piñata, Little Big Planet, Banjo Kazooie 3, LBP)
- Third Party Developers are now essentially the equivalent of Video Game street pimps.
- Gimmicks are no longer fads (Wii-mote)... Well, not all Gimmicks (PS-Eye)

Guess you didnt read the article |
Why do you say that? There's nothing I can see in the article which contradicts Legend11's interpretation. Do you really think Bill Gates never heard of Sony television sets?
Human stupidity continues to amaze me daily. It really is boundless.
