This is just a terrible quote. Hey Kenny Boy, when GameCube and Xbox were launched, they were a lot more expensive than PSX, but they outsold them too! You know why? Because not every ****ing family already owned one, that's why.

Yea...I had to re-read that several times to make sure it was really as stupid as it sounded. I mean it wouldve made a little more sense if he had said Nintendo 64.

Yeah, exactly. I mean, if you're going to brag about being expensive within a relatively similar time frame and still outselling, then he can brag. But when they are completely different generations of systems... come on, Kenny! There are lots of great things PlayStation has accomplished that you can boast about! You don't have to sink to that level.

Nintendo again stays a little less rough then others

Doesnt matter to me. I'll probably get at least the 360 and Revolution since their price will seem at least NORMAL. PS3 will probably be way too far out of my budget for now (now meaning next year)

This will definately be an interesting generation, that's for sure. At this point, graphics, sound, and game resolution have all reached a maximum (until new standards are reached by PC's), and all consoles are online, so really now, it's all about the games- EXCLUSIVE ONES.

Either way, I'm getting an Xbox 360 this fall, a PS3 whenever it's delayed to, and a Revolution at the same time or later. No point in missing out on any of the fun this go-round, either.

BTW, wassup Gekko- how long have you been at 29 Stumps? I've been in Iraq for 4 months now, and I tell you...
