Clowd, give it a rest. I think that Living-In-Clip has already showed you that you just have an irrational fear and hatred of Microsoft. Why don\'t you grow up and actually listen to other people\'s arguments.

Since when has clowd had credibility?

LiC and LMNt have said it all (although I\'m not convinced Sony was worse, it\'s just business and it\'s all the same).

Clowd...

How do you feel about Sony blackmailing retailers to display their products at the front of the store while the competition was in some corner? If the store didn\'t comply, they would not receive any PS2 shipments?

I\'d love to see how you defend Sony on this.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It is all about the games for me.  If the developers cannot produce good games....i would wish for them to fail.

Like when Bbleem! for Dreamcast was coming out, Sony told retailers if they carried it, their PS2 shipments would be "late" so to speak.

They also told EB and such to not advertise or hype the XBox just like they did a year earlier with PS2 or they would miss out on shipments or games.

When Sony plays dirty, they can be just as bad as MS or worse. clowd, make reasonable arguments. IIRC, Sony spent 125million on PSX\'s launch, which was a TON of money back then for the game market, they also snatched up Psygnosis, Verant, Naughty Dog, and a couple others.

It seems Sega was too nice to retailers, or they just didn\'t hold ANY weight.

They didnt use money in this scenario,  so  I dont care.  

Sony snatched up devolopers?  Who said the developers didnt want to join Sony?  Maybe they didnt want to develop for the cartridge or the sega machine of that time?  sort of like how odd world devs didnt want to develop for ps2 out of pure laziness

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Take off your goggles man, LOLOL!!

to retailers, systems = money. Don\'t you get it? Sony is about as clean as a trailer park girl on prom night.

I have come to the final conclusion regarding clowd, he is a fucking \'tard.

Everyone advertises, it\'s purely competition.

I would like to see MS fall flat on its face with the xbox because the sooner their stranglehold on the computing industry ends, the better.

Even if Xbox fails, MS won\'t be hurting that much.

I actually agree with Heretic(Never. Happened. Before.), name calling is for lamers and trolls.  Besides that, it\'s too easy.  I figured that Altered could do much better, and probably achieve a higher insult...disappointed

Heretic is a moron, too. Anyone who can defend the turd known as clowd has to be a \'tard.

I am glad you wanna MS fail, seeing as they have PERSONALLY hurt you several times before, I believe you are validated. Although them failing in the videogame hardly hurts them in the PC realm. You don\'t think they add a billion dollars a month in real money because of videogames, do you?!!? :lol:
