Sure. Macbeth was a flawed character and it was a tragedy. Wouldn't you say misfortune is still part of kismet?

nintendo made bad mistakes back in the day that cost them, now Sony is paying back the favor.

 Nintendo made probably the most stupid decisions in gaming ever, only time will tell if sony gets anywhere near their failures.

3rd console curse.

Most Stupid Decisions?

Do you mean in terms of quantity or quality of mistakes because I think neither is true.

Sega had a long streak of releasing systems which would never receive much support (Sega CD, 32X, Game Gear, Saturn and Dreamcast) which eventually destroyed their reputation and forced them out of the console industry. On top of that many of their systems represented so many mistakes that it was truely shocking; the Saturn was amazingly expensive for its time, was very hard to develop for and included a controller that was so bad that Sega had to replace it soon afterwords.

What about the Zune? ;) 

In all seriousness, I played with the Zune at CES and I thought it was pretty good.  What kills me is it's dependance on a computer-based player (a la iPod/iTunes).  I don't know if the Walkman will require integration with some computer-based media player, but if $ony could give the option of dragging MP3s directly to the device, then I'd be inclined.  Same with video (if it ends up doing that).

 FF XIII will stay PS3 exclusive because SE's main market is Japan, and the number of PS3's there is so much superior to 360's, it will not go across (Wii is not powerful enough for the main XIII) if you say that the sales in America alone will justify it, it has to be remembered how much it will cost to port it and how long it will take, too much and too long

 Segas a lost cause.

 Nintendo was top dog, but stilll managed crap like virtual boy and then the dumbass decision of cartriges caused its much better console to get destroued by the much weaker Psx.

Ps3 has about 3 times more sold then 360 in japan correct, but america has always helped with sales. With 360 currently almost beating it by 5 million in US, they will look at that. FF does not only sell just good in Japan, FF 12 sold what nearly 1.5 million in the US to 2 mil? With a total of 5 Million sold, about 2.5 from japan, and the rest from others. FF does make alot of money in US, but your right, it is mostly japan game. But you have to remember if they were to sell 500k on the 360, it would most likely generate a profit, and by the time it comes out for 360, you could expect 15+ million sales.

Its not a likely situation but SE could do it, matters how many Ps3 sell before its released

I believe if Microsoft really wanted to. They could just pay Square Enix to port FFXIII over to the 360.
