Seriously are you retarded, just answer that honestly, because if you like a company and the things they do you should want them to make money because if they don't eventually they'll stop doing what you like.Quote:

That's making a small amount of money on each console sold now, that still isnt turned a profit for the project overall, before that happens they have to make up the billions they've all ready lost on it.Quote:

It's pretty sweet. One cool thing is you can exit at any time and it does like an insta-save so the next time you go back in you're right where you left. I haven't tried a game with its own save system so I don't know if you can also save that way.Quote:

The only thing I'm sad about is once you start a Gamecube game your wiimote turns off (which is GOOD since it saves batteries. It also turns off if it is idle for about 5 minutes or so) but you can't reset or turn off the Wii with the wiimote once you're in a GC game. I had my wavebird and tv remote and wiimote and was hoping to keep the entire affair on the couch.
The best thing about the wii, really, is how comfortable it is to play. I played bonk for about a half an hour and had to put both hands together again. I cannot overstate the comfort of being able to keep both of your hands pretty much where you want.
I think I'm more embarrassed at how people still use Gamerankings as a defense.
Sunk cost in establishing a brand. I don't think they intend to make up the money lost on Xbox since that was what they chose to do to establish a brand. They do intend to make up money lost on Xbox 360 however, which is entirely likely. Now they have a new business, an established product line, an established service and all of them stand to start generating revenue. What price do you put on brand recognition and consumer confidence?Quote:

I'm personally more loyal to the Xbox because it's given us a really easy to use machine with an awesome online component. The games appeal to me a little more. If PS3 folded the only thing I'd be pissed about is losing the Shadow of the Colossus team, because that game was the shit.
I also hate the cocky attitude Sony blasts its fans with so often.
I really hate this, too. But Sony isn't stupid, and that attitude is probably calculated. They may have found that it impresses more people than it annoys.Quote:
