Horrible people, yeah.
This whole situation is hilarious.
Microsoft: Let's build a system so goddamn powerful that we have to make it with the cheapest shit we can find and pack it so tight that hardware failure is assured and STILL have to launch it at an outlandish price even though we are eating large amounts of the cost ourselves selling each unit at a loss! It will just be that goddamn powerful! Idea! If we make a gimp unit we can create the illusion of a lower launch price while only giving up meaningful hard drive functionality for the duration of the system's life!
Nintendo: No, let's not do that.
Sony: No, wait. I got it. Let's go even MORE powerful and expensive! And since it is obvious that digital downloads are "in", we will include a big-ass hard drive in everything! Now all we have to do is make it more expensive still by including Bluray and cross our fingers that digital downloads are not in fact "in" so people everywhere abandon digital on-demand movies for $30 Bluray discs. The PS3 can ride the movie wave into homes everywhere just like the PS2 did with DVD. It only makes the damn system $700 or whatever.
Nintendo: No, let's not do that. Here is a cheap system that doesn't break. We will sell it at a profit since we aren't retards. Here are games. They are fun and don't require 40 hours of filler grinding to justify 90 million dollar development budgets.
People: Thanks Nintendo! This is fun and cheap!
Gamers: Wow, Nintendo did it all wrong! This is fun and cheap however!
Go back to Rock Band on the PS2.
After reading Cheebs tripe. Now I know why Yoshi hates Philly fans.
Perhaps! From what I can tell, gamers are ready to have a collective anneurism over Non-tendo doing better than the "real" sports. Ignorance is bliss, better to pretend they don't exist at all because they don't cater to you specifically. Then you can go back to enjoying games blissfully unawares and brain-blood-clotting-free!
Nonjas.
