There is no "value perception" for Apple...they're just overpriced because of all that proprietary hardware. Mac =/= PS3. It doesn't offer more than the competition, thus justifying the higher price lol

 

Macs actually offer less than PC's big time!

 Either way, Microsoft was losing lots of marketshare to them in the past couple of years for whatever reason. the "I-Sheep" phenomonon or whatever it is that gets people to throw money at Apple.

Thats good, I dislike Apple more than I dislike Microsoft.

But in what world is Apple a small company?

 

 I meant in size, not profits. They always just keep around 2-4 products at a time, unlike a company like Sony that has their foot in everything from car stereos to movie productions. Apple and Nintendo just have like 2-4 products with huge montrous profit margins.  EA is losing a Billion dollars a year and have more studios and developers than any other game publisher in the world. Most of their games are also hugely unprofitable. They lost licences to IP's like Lord of the Rings and James Bond because of consistent low quality. EA and Apple are a horrible fit. If Apple did want a studio, it would probably be a small quirky studio like Rare.

Explain those 2-4 products cause I am seeing closer to 20 products.

No but I am not spliting things up in to generalized groups either, which is probably what you are doing.  if that was the case then Sony only has about 8 products then.

wait till Apple buys EA, then Microsoft is gonna get pwnd.

 

Most of the stuff MS sells has little to do with its gaming capabilities. Thus, nothing to do with gaming could cause Microsoft to get pwnd in the area of computer software. Be a little less ahead? Maybe.

Mac's are way overpriced, paying for brand, imo.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Sony only has 8 products?? Im not even generalizing Apple, they really only have Macs, Ipods, then Iphone and Ipod touch. Sony has at least, Sony Vaio, Bravia Tv, Playstation 3, PSp, Cybershot camera, Sony Ericson phone, Walkman, then they have stereos, car stereos, Then a movie studo,then a music studio, etc. There literally one the largest and most complex, companies in the World!!  Apple has macs, Iphones, and Ipods and they focus on those products like a lazer. They dont care or worry about anything else. Nintendo worries about the Wii and DS and focus on those 2 products like a lazer. How do you compare the 100 year old Sony with their overly large GM like corporate structure with Apple??? LOOOLLLL
