Look at some of the comments. Most say that Sony is coping yet again. What these people dont know is that the mraket moves, and to compete you have to move with the market, not try to take it in another direction.

I personally believe that Sony is moving in the right direction with this. They realize that next gen console are not just about the games, the features they must have must cater to much more than just a handful of gamers. They need to appeal to everybody. Not just that, the games also much appeal to everybody by utilizing these next gen features.

Fanboys will never look by the direct compitition of M$ and Sony. They will never realize that these companies arnt as much competeing agianst each other (which actually improves quality unlike fanboys think) as these companies are trying to turn a profit. You cant do that by not following the market.

This is also the reason I think the Wii will be a huge upset to gamers around the world.

Personally, each company is doing things to appeal to casuals. Wii is having a new way to play games plus pretty games which will attract lots of girls and older adults. 360 and PS3 is allowing you to do more things with your console on top of some amazing graphics which appeals to teens and young adults.

I know...People having a negative opinion on PS3:roll:

And literially...Yes it is copying but that is just a very shallow way to say it. It is business. Take from the best and make it your own. Let me just say like The Zune Player sounds like complete ownage(30gig, Compatible with any Program...not just Itunes, Wifi built in and Radio, you can replace the batteries yourself, Bigger Screen)...Same price as Apple's 30gig^^ 250$ Its business. Take what you like from your compeitition and improve upon it. Heck its even human nature...You learn from others, that these original ideas do not come from no where now^^ You take in info and create your own.

I just read through it about 4 times, and I still can't begin what would give anyone the idea that it was an idea stolen from Microsoft or Nintendo. Its a general idea, thats existed for years, nothing that another company did better already, and moreso originally. :|

I don't think Sony is copying ANYTHING... their just adapting to the changes being made. In order to survive in the jungle, you must adapt. Nintendo presented change, Sony followed, Microsoft didn't. Adapting is the law of the jungle.

Yeah, Nintendo better not use HD in their next console after the Wii. Sony and Microsoft had HD first!! That would be copying!

I know...I dont care for Sony...Sorry:oops: I should say I dont blindly follow a company^^

Also...The Biggest fanboys are the ones who say they arent fanboys now^^ Because if your a manticore who goes by games...One system will give you more games you favor...in turn you form a bias towards the system in which the most games you enjoy come from^^

So  Yes I am a Fanboy^^...Just like everyone here

Your logic is flawed due to the definition of a console fanboy, a preferance to a console due to games is not fanboyism.

"An 18-year-old today has never known a world without broadband, mobile phones, or MP3s." I remember not having broadband, it sucked... I still don't have a damn cell phone and my crappy mp3 player broke 2 years ago.

Now your seperating stuff on your own opinion on what is a Fanboy. Your brought your own personal opinion into this now.(Technically that is what a fanboy is^^) All that takes to be a fanboy is liking one system more than another. Games to Name of it^^ Just because you feel one reason isnt as strong as another...Does not make it so. Such as if you enjoy Jrpgs...Wouldnt that make your favor PS2 the most since it had the most? Now this is hypothetically speaking. Since a certain system provides you with more enjoyment than another? Wouldnt that make you favor that system more now since it provides you the most of what you want? But I can sit here and say...No it doesnt. Then what is the very most basic definition of a fanboy. One who favors something. A Personal Bias towards a subject. Like I said...Im sorry your seperating stuff out on your own accord to what is a fanboy to fit your own personal definition.

I always just note the anytime certain bring up stuff about fanboys in here...Its when they are bashing or insulting what they like the most And then they generalize it a whole...Just a simple observation now:P

i forgot to say the most important thing...I was agreeing with what he said^^....just noted why it caught his attention is all:P
