The math on that still seems to indicate a lot of empty shelves this holiday season and people rushing to eBay. Microsoft had a lot more than 300k to try and shake out of supply between December and March to get their stock visible.

I think they did it because there's a very decent chance Jack Thompson can't pronounce Latin without sounding even crazier.

PSP launch, 360 launch ... they've all followed this trend. No reason to think this won't as well. Sony will probably be whistling this tune all the way up until people don't get their preorders.

The Darkness, when released, will have content exclusive to the PlayStation 3 because the Blu-Ray can handle it: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/725/725801p1.html So there's one. Well, OK, I suppose it's not required, but it will have better material with Blu-Ray. And that's a likely...

Except that the PlayStation 3 will always benefit from having BluRay, even if BluRay fails to capitalize the market ... simply because it has a media with a capacity to match the kind of content it's trying to deliver. That's my point with the PS2 - I don't (and most people I know don't) use it...

I guess I found Amir's quote to be about the hardest to swallow of the whole article. "We have a lot of DRM, but Sony has a bit more ... so Blu Ray is bad. Oh and the PlayStation 3 will fail" is about how it translates. About two steps away from forum fodder, imo. Microsoft is having...

Yeah, but you have to agree that they are clearly wildly biased ... and quoting them twice in such a small blurb seems like overkill (especially that last bit). Sorry, don't mean to harp - it's just that the Wired article does an excellent job of balancing out their coverage to just plain and...

Anyone else find the trend of quoting Microsoft employees about Sony's strategy a bit odd? Two seperate Microsoft quotes in a three paragraph bit about Sony seems a bit much (considering how many Sony quotes there are ... which would be none). Do we expect them to say something like, "We...
