		<description>I see your point now although I&#039;m embarrassed to admit I did miss it the first time. I don&#039;t fully agree either since Sony is doing the same thing on their side, although less effectively. Sadly, this is the direction the industry is heading in. Don&#039;t forget that I&#039;m the one who first told you that this is what Microsoft was trying to do. Other console generation had mutual respect for each other. They were competitive and even cut-throat but Microsoft took it to another level mostly because they can and partly because they are arrogant and aggressive sons of bitches. Sony does business differently and, in the long run, will have fans that will be loyal to them because of the way they do business. The new IP&#039;s, some (but very few) quality exclusives that are actually 1st party (instead of 3rd party bribes), and consoles that last more than 5 years. I don&#039;t think Microsoft has changed. I&#039;m expecting another X-Box within 2-3 years. Is a 5 year cycle bad for a console? Hardly, but 8-9 year cycles are obviously better for the consumer who will see the trend and wisen up.

What ticks me off is people who downplay the 360 as it is now. I don&#039;t care if Sony is catching up on hardware sales, they&#039;re WAY behind in software sales. Maybe half the people who purchase a PS3 do it mostly because of the Blu-Ray drive. I&#039;ll go as far as to say the system is almost useless to a gamer. Most people who own it don&#039;t game. It&#039;s like a Wii but on the opposite side of the spectrum targeting hardcore mediaphiles instead of casual everybodies.

Do I love Microsoft? No, I hate them. They&#039;re greedy and ruthless. Do I love my 360? like you wouldn&#039;t believe! Do I hate Sony? No, I think they&#039;re being stupid but I don&#039;t hate them. Do I love my PS3? No. I like it but not for gaming...</description>

		<description>There&#039;s no way this is killing the industry. Obviously, Konami is in it to make money too.</description>

		<description>Fanboy trashing is all there is on the web today. Osama said: `What did Sony announce? Nothing new!`

hmm, maybe someone should remind you they didn`t do their press conference yet...

Of course, marketwise, losing FF exclusivity is a huge loss for Sony. Still, I wont wait for the localized version anyways, so it doesnt really matter...</description>
