Playstation 3 Already Won the Next Gen Battle?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the look-into-my-crystal-ball dept.

damyan writes "The BBC are running an article that claims that the Playstation 3 has already won the next-gen battle, since 'The Informa Media Group predicts that Sony will sell more than 30 million PlayStation 3s in Europe by 2010. It puts Microsoft in second place with 10 million sales and Nintendo trailing in third with five million.' If only everyone could see that well into the future."

    Just like you got a PS2 to play your games, i got an xbox to play mine.

    Plus i have 110" projection screen that looks like utter crap on a PS2 and beatifull as can be on an Xbox. Especially in 720p, 480p and 1080i.

    Fact of the matter is Sony's console sucks ass and all you fan boys are trying to justify something that is sitting around collecting dust with more FUD :)

    har har har

    So you don't need to actually fight battles anymore, just be predicted to win and you are declared as having "Already Won" ?

    Yep. That's called the "Democratic Primary" rule, or as I like to call it, the "Media declaring a foregone conclusion from the poll results of a tiny subset of the voting population, covering that candidate and ONLY that candidate while constantly referring to him as the 'front-runner', resulting in the uninformed voting public voting for that candidate based on the aforementioned fallacious foregone conclusion."

    It's easier to say "Democratic Primary" rule, though, so let's stick to that.

    Yes, I know it's offtopic. Bite me. See, now it's Offtopic AND Flamebait.
