Sqeaky Clean

Let us all take a moment to bathe in the tears of unfathomable sadness of Microsoft:

"Much to the surprise of journalists, Sony came out with a bang at their pre-E3 conference on Monday. What started off as a dull series of generic demos and videos quickly turned into a jaw-dropping demonstration of the PlayStation 3’s capabilities -- completely overshadowing Microsoft’s subsequent Xbox 360 press event."

"In 2004, Sony's older PlayStation 2 led the U.S. console wars with 43 percent of the market, according to Jupiter Research. The original Xbox was a distant No. 2 with 19 percent, followed by Nintendo's GameCube at 14 percent. The remainder included handheld game systems."

Basically, Nintendo's GameCube almost beat out the Microsoft console, which has far superior (and considerably more expensive) architecture. It's refreshing to know that the younger generation of consumers hate Microsoft as much as I do. And it's only a matter of time until Gates finally reaps the "rewards" of Windows.
