GrotesqueOne 

IS RIGHT!

 The year was 1970, MS was booming and Bill Gates decided (I wanna control the world,and destroy the PS3,you see he has god like powers,he tried but failed with the Xbox,but when PS3 was being made, he went a stole the CPU design,the Xenos if you will,now the PS3 is stuck with the Cell....Bill Gates Cells! Which is known for being weak and powerless,which is why PS3 is in 3rd place.. It means he IS YOUR FATHER!!!!!!) Ever Since the 70s Bill had microchips put in every North American's head, the Cell if you will..Well we are his army, we will keep buying 360 even if they break down, and support the new world order.

 

He tried with the Xbox 1 but the Microchips were not ready to be activated yet.

No it does, You see PS3 is the good terminator, Arnold if you will. You ever wonder why people call us "Xbots" ? Now you know.. Only PS3 can save us.... You ever wonder why the Resistance say "PS3 Is the future B_E_L_I_E_V_E" or "It only does everything"? Its the saviour man! It can save us from teh XBOTS!

As far as conspiracy stories go...this has to be one of the more elaborate I have heard.

The use of M$ does not derive from the console wars or from console fanboys. I think it goes back a bit further than that.

I've been around probably longer than most who are on this forum. Damn, I just gave my secret away, :). In the good old days of the 80's there was literally a plethora of computer platforms. Of course, the 2 famous ones were IBM PC's with an MS O/S and there was Apple. There was also Amiga, Atari, Archimedies, Texas Instruments, BBC Micro, Acorn and probably a whole bunch more. I am talking the 16/32bit era. We all know history, we all know how MS came to dominate. The Wintel system basically obliterated everything in it's path. As a side note, the fanboys of that day were not just about the O/S but also about the CPU family. The good old Intel x86 vs Motorola 68k. Basically MS aligned with x86 and the rest were Motorola 68k.

MS made 2 cash cows out of this - Windows and Office. These 2 divisions are still what makes MS tic today when it comes to the cash flow. It is where their dollars all stem from. MS are trying to desperately diversify. Their game division with Xbox and Zune. Their search division with Bing.

At the end of the day, the long memories of all the other computer makers and software makers from the 80's and 90's probably spawned the M$ idea. It's got little to do with console fanboy culture. It's just a carry over from the early days.
