SONY must be very proud of how much M$ looks up to them / wants to be like them. Sickening really. As it is, tho there are too many systems all up if u include handhelds. Another thing too is that handhelds have never been successful with 3 majors all at once, (nor 2 really). Look now with just 2 (not including ipods), one is doing very good, while the other gets by.

M$'s way, tho is the American way of business; don't worry about making money till u have put most others out of business with your bigger bank account and saturation, then u can start a monopoly. Now, wouldn't M$ love another one of those. $$$

Shouldn't they be focusing on solidifying their hold in the home console market? It seems a little foolhardy to spread themselves over two different markets; afterall, that's part of where Sony's struggle is right now.

Plus, that would make six consoles total (3 handhelds, 3 home), 7 if you count Apple...*sigh*...

 

 Yeah, and it's killing Nintendo.

@thx1139
That's what I think. They have the nVidia chip in it, so it may be able to emulate the Xbox gpu fairly well.

Nintendo had already established themselves quite well in the home console market before entering the handheld. Also, Nintendo has quite a strong first party line up, they can afford to spread that among two different consoles. Microsoft is relying heavily on third party support, just like Sony, and that means should they enter a new market then less games will be spread to their main console.

 



How do you breathe again?

If people could put down their fanboy goggles for 5 minutes and actually read this . . . just WOW. I blew it off when I saw the thread title, but actually reading it . . . folks this is quite impressive.

June 1st could potentially be RIDICULOUS.
