Fairly creditable? I don't think so.

I don't put down other consoles at all, I just often counter misinformative fanboys on mostly technicals. And share my views on issues as someone who believes the PS3 provides amazing potentials.

Gaming is just a hobby to me, I do what I think is fun. I think it's fun to share predictions and insights (no matter if conflicting with popular opinion), it's a bit of a game by itself. It's rewarding if your insights are proven to be correct. I think a lot of fanboys make wild statements just to spread the gospel, without actually believing what they say. I don't think they honestly believe I have a financial interest in the PS3, it just suits their agenda to pretend.

While the 360 is a decent system, PS3 is simply more powerful and it was also voted more classy.

Good job Mike B.

I don't remember who said MikeB tries to sell to Sony his version of the Amiga OS. It doesn't invalidate that he can be a therapist, but I think he tried to deviate the attention of his "other" investments.

Yes, he has an economic interest in some hypothetic PS3 triumph over the other consoles.

Oh, the irony.

While it is possible you could have a potential vested interest in the success of the PS3, I honestly doubt it.

If anything, your gospel doesn't convince others of the superiority of the PS3. And it's never made me want to run out and purchase a PS3. And I am sure others agree.

If you have some underlying motive to market and promote the PS3 to accommodate a financial stake you may have in its success, you haven't been doing a good job. So, I honestly believe what you communicate about not having a financial interest in the PS3.

Smart business men/women are very skilled at exercising tact and know what personality traits may be beneficial in influencing others.

For some people the PS3 is too high brow and classy for them.

For me, the PS3 just wasn't a good value, you can be classy and more powerful, but the bottom line is, if you don't have the best value, you will lose, I think Nintendo showed us that with the Wii. And MikeB, I don't know what to believe about you, I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but threads like this one just showcase your immaturity.

What's my version of AmigaOS? AmigaOS4 isn't owned by me at all. Amiga is a hobby to me, AmigaOS4 is a fun OS to use. I hope the project survives, eventually prospers and I think having it on the much cheaper, much higher specced, far more multi-featured (top multi-media and gaming features) and far more widely available PS3 provides far more potential with regard to attracting new users and developers than the currently available options.

I hope you're being facetious. Because I cannot understand how this makes any sense.

What people have communicated this to you?

I love these threads. It's really easy to tell experienced console professionals from random fans, from the guesswork surrounding the development of a game like GB.

This really helps weed out the rumors from the truth on the rest of the site. Experienced professionals (at least engineers) can't usually help themselves, when it comes to technical details, and... "enthusiasts" usually have a lot of "makes sense from a user standpoint" guesses to pitch out and have invalidated.

If people didn't get so defensive about their guesswork, they might learn something cool about their hobby from time to time, and eventually come to understand the "whys" behind a lot of seemingly confusing game industry events.

What the hell does this rhetoric mean?

Who are these "some people"? Did they tell you personally?

How can a videogame machine be "too highbrow and classy"? Or did you just mean "TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE"? LOL

That's an extremist fanboy statement if I've ever heard one :)
