In Wake of Price Drops, Further PS3 Doubts
Sony fans undoubtedly cheered the news of a $100 drop in price for the 60GB PS3, but even with the price drop there are several issues surrounding the console. 1up reports that the 80GB PS3 is following the lead of the EU-released PS3s by removing the Emotion engine and relying on software emulation for backwards compatibility. In an effort to decrease costs Sony continues to reduce features and develop their product. Meanwhile, Konami executive Kazumi Kitaue doesn't see much impact from the cut ... and in fact told Reuters that they're seriously considering a multi-platform release for Metal Gear Solid 4. "Kitaue said Konami may need to expand the target hardware for its blockbuster fighting game Metal Gear Solid, which has so far been developed for Sony's PlayStation machines, to other consoles in the future to recoup development costs ... The release of the latest version of Metal Gear Solid series is expected to help lure hard-core gamers to the PS3 and alleviate concerns over scarcity of strong PS3 titles. Underscoring sluggish PS3 sales and robust demand for the Wii, Nintendo shot past Sony in market value last month and bumped the Tokyo-based electronics conglomerate off the list of Japan's 10 most valuable companies."
I wonder if you think that because you had the last word, you're right, when you're merely demonstrated both a lack of reading comprehension, and (assuming you really weren't making a "huge issue" when you started using such strong language) a lack of ability to convey what you mean in text? It seems to me that the line you pasted confirms what I said, not what you are asserting.
Also, the term "fanboi" is used by two types of people: Those who wish to make derogatory comments about young Asian people who are overly passionate about something, and stupid idiots who think they're cool because they copied what somebody else said without actually understanding what it means. Given how adept you've proven yourself to be at deriving the meaning of text through context, I'm not surprised that you didn't realize it was a racist slur. But it is, and you should stop using it before it gets you into trouble.
