Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously. The "ideas" or "cognitions" in question may include attitudes and beliefs, and also the awareness of one's behavior. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, or by justifying or rationalizing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.

Does anyone else think this describes Ascended pretty well?

So the OP can see the future? How awesome.

You mean to say that you and him are two different people?

I have a hard time believing that sorry…

OT: you have no idea what you are talking about.

I always thought they were the same.  I mean they share the same style and same avatars even!

The Microsoft losses include everything in their Entertainment & Devices division, not just their consoles.  So it's hardly fair to add losses for everything else to the Xbox numbers.  But who are we kidding, this was just an attempt by some fanboy to spin numbers.

Handling or seeing Sony's financals doesn't mean you work for Sony directly.  He is privy to that information as he demonstrates via the interactions between other insiders.  That's all that matters...period.

No. YOUR post is an attempt by a fanboy to discredit what you don't want to face.

Since you think there is a HUGE difference in the number if you take the Zune out, find the number and show us.

I was thinking the same.

How can he be a "Sony financials insider" without working for Sony?  Also, he sure never backs up any of his "information" when speaking with other "insiders" or other members.  He makes claims.  He never has any links or evidence to back them up.

Since when does Sony outsource their finances division to other companies?  I'm pretty sure a Toshiba employee would not be handling Sony finances.  Sony would have a bit of a fit since they were kind of rivals given the whole HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray thing
