His world domination plans coming into effect, just before we have the ability to form our own opinions cruelly stripped away from us - what do you think of the man? I mean, I can respect all that he has done and how he has made his vast fortune... His vast, vast, VAST fortune all by himself, but when he moves in for the kill on the computer and videogames market as a whole I feel my anger levels rising. Now fair enough, people have their many reservations about Sony and their world domination plans, but they won't succeed - we all know that deep down. The problem we face is that Microsoft DO have the ability to force a single format, not without a fight from the other big thre... two i mean... but the possibility is there. Sony are a bigger company than Microsoft, but Sony Computer Entertainment are smaller and money isn't going to be thrown away into fighting a battle with Microsoft. This, in my grim opinion, will lead to SCE's demise - Nintendo's will probably happen faster unfortunately. For everyones sake, I hope I'm very, very wrong. Just my two cents, feel free to have a go at me if you wish!

I've always had respect for Nintendo AND Sega... I've never sided... really.

It's just I see Sony more as a corperation than a design company... Which indeed it is.

--(Lame joke warning)--

Q)What's the difference between captiatlism and communism?
A)Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's the other way around!

Anyway, Microsoft won't wipe out Sony and Nintendo from the games industry. Well, maybe Sony. With any luck.


Now another point, which I was going to make into a new topic, but I'm too lazy....

Isn't it ironic that a few years ago, many of us who owned the NES or SNES had a strong bias against SEGA, yet now Sony and Microsoft have emerged as greater evils, and we all rave about SEGA and the merits of the DC?
