I'm in line as we speak! (7%) 4,856 Someone put those poor saps out of their misery. (49%) 31,418 They're already lining up? Crap! I have to get my tent! (10%) 6,439 You all missed the point.

sony really are doing something wrong, maybe bill gates payed em off to "take a dive" It wouldn't surprise me, he's paid off just about every developer from under $ony's nose this time around. The 360 has had a dominant head start in the war and the Wii is too innovative and diverse to ignore. Bring it on P$3, let's see what you're made of!

I saw the ex-president & founder of Atari saying that he thinks the PS3 is a complete disaster and will flop. "I think Sony shot themselves in the foot... there is a high probability [they] will fail. The price point is probably unsustainable. For years and years Sony has been a very difficult company to deal with from a developer standpoint. They could get away with their arrogance and capriciousness because they had an installed base. They have also historically had horrible software tools. You compare that to the Xbox 360 with really great authoring tools [and] additional revenue streams from Xbox live... a first party developer would be an idiot to develop for Sony first and not the 360. People don't buy hardware, they buy software."
