Is it me? Or does PSone own all the other systems?

I think that people accuse me of spreading propaganda.  I have no beef with Sega, Microsoft, or Nintendo.  Stop treating me like I am an ignorant Sony fanboy, I have my reasons for supporting them, and I know that they are not perfect.  You can\'t blame Sony for the demise of DC, it was inevitable.  Sony needed a new system, and the PS2 was the answer.  EVERY SYSTEM WILL HAVE DRAW BACKS!!!  Stop featuring Sony\'s as if it was something new everyday.

Sorry Billy, but your post has me so confused...
featuring Sony\'s? huh? And I don\'t remember calling you a fanboy...
Yes, Sony did need a new system. Too bad they killed a better one like DC... irony rocks!... :D

PS2 is getting a bad rap because of the mainstreamers, PS2 is a good system.  PS2 did not bring down the DC!!!  For the millionth time, Sony was due for a new system, DC was just the victim by default, it was the aftermath of the PS2 launch that killed it... not the system, the system was needed.

Actually, taking a chapter from Nintendo here, PSone is selling fine. PS2 couldve just as easily been released this fall, or March like in Japan. It didn\'t HAVE to come out when it did.

It would just be delaying the inevitable... any time the PS2 came out would have had the same results...

Sony sucks, especially their electronics.  They are still banking off the success of the release of their Walkman, so says many anyway.  They are all about hype and marketing, building lots of extra features and gadgets into their products, most of which are useless.  This allows Sony to sell their stuff at a higher price than their competitors.  Just look at their DVD players.  Their lowest model (s360) averages $50 more than other DVD players at the same level.

Who makes the best of what (considering price/performance)?  imo-

VCR- Panasonic, Sony
DVD player- Toshiba, Panasonic, Pioneer
CD player- Marantz
Headphones- Grado, Sennheiser, AKG

No, a bigger installed base for DC would be the result, and DC would\'ve had a better chance.
