It looks like a glorified discman

God help me if any of my systems ever look like that.

You'd think Nintendo would take the mushroom approach over Sony.

Is that even possible at this point, if we are really starting to approach the point of dimishing returns in terms of graphics (yay shitty NTSC output!)

Microsoft doesn't often delay things but it also doesn't have a history of releasing second rate equipment. I reckon 50/50 they'd delay it to improve it.

I'm curious why people see the need to buy consoles the moment they are released. I've never owned one because I've always been satisfied by a small number of games available on my PC. At the moment I'm circulating through 4 games and I've been on the same ones for the better part of 6 months. Besides I'm mainly a FPS fan. Who wants to use a control stick for that

Good god that system wip it terrible. Fucking cunts keep reducing stackability. I wish they'd make it look more like a piece of entertainment hardware and less like a toy.

You really should put "doesn't often delay hardware," because otherwise that line is comic gold.

There is no way that Sony would make the PS3 look like that. NO WAY. Well, okay, they might be that crazy, but that would be beyond typical Sony insanity.

I like that the next gen releases aren't launching at the same time. Who wants them all to be equally powerful and come out at the same time so they can buy 3 consoles in a week? If one comes out each year for the next three years that would be great. We'll get a variety of game designs for the next 5-6 years instead of every system being capable doing the same thing.
