I mean, come on. Putting the Colecovision in the same generation as the NES... I'm guessing you weren't even there or you would never have made such an obvious error in your list. And shame on you for forgetting the Neo-Geo!
Yes, I'm aware that it didn't have any Metroid games.;)
Hence my reason to not buy the Nintendo 64. The second reason was that the 3D was so low-resolution that it gave me headaches. I do have the two N64 Zelda games on a Gamecube disc (or is it two discs?), I just haven't bothered to play them yet.
To me, Metroid comes before Zelda. I do have most of the Zelda games too, however (if not all).
Oups, right. Leopard will be 10.5, I'm not sure why I was thinking 11.0! Anyway that still means Windows 7 will be "3 versions behind Mac OS" (if you follow the "Xbox 2 vs PS3" line of thinking).
But yeah, I wonder what Apple will do once they do hit version 11. Mac OS X 11.0?
You really ought to learn about something before pontificating in public about it.
That's why I said "I don't think", "all I know" and especially "then again I've never even visited myspace.com, so what do I know."
And your comment only re-enforces what I thought: MySpace is only blogs and stuff. It doesn't matter if there's talented people putting their work online, it's still only blogs. I'm not gonna watch their stuff sitting in front of a fucking computer screen.
Sorry about the "fucking computer screen", I've just watched Hell's Kitchen.
Microsoft has named the second Xbox "Xbox 360" just because of the "PS3" (Xbox2 is one version older than PS3 isn't it?).
Do Microsoft really want to try selling Windows 7 when Apple will still be selling Mac OS 11 (Leopard)?
And don't tell me people don't know Macs still exists, given all the "Mac and PC" ads, not to mention the popularity of iPods and now the AppleTV and iPhone.
I don't think of MySpace has a competitor to anything. Of course, all I know about MySpace is that's it's for personal blogs and such. It's only used by people who want to put their lives on the web, and mostly teens. Then again I've never even visited myspace.com, so what do I know.
If there's any real competitor to television, it's two-fold because it's on two levels: television networks (who buy/make shows) and show creators themselves (professional vs amateur).
1. It's the beginning of the end for "networks". The iTunes Store has the possibility of becoming a direct distributor between content creators and viewers/listeners. No need to pay for all those crappy "channels packages". I'll even mention the stupid fact that you're forced to get the "basic package" just so you can pay for the "extra packages" from which you only want two or three channels out of eight. It would also prevent networks from killing shows. The best example is the near-death of Family Guy, which Fox had neglected so much at the beginning that it's almost a miracle it survived. It would also prevent networks from continuing to poor cash into long-dead series like The Simpsons. Yes, Homer is funny, but let's get real, they're nearly two decades old now. We get a good episode for every ten crappy ones.
2. YouTube. Given that Google now control YouTube, and via such partnerships such as putting YouTube on the iPhone and the AppleTV, allows regular people to reach other people quite easily and (more importantly) beyond computer-only access. And now that YouTube is switching to H.264, the only thing preventing others to do the same thing as Apple is access rights to YouTube's servers.

I think you meant:

4. Nintendo Super NES and SEGA Genesis
5. Nintendo 64, SEGA Saturn, Sony PlayStation

People would need to install Windows Vista in the first place to be able to switch away from it.
The fact that Dell and others are still selling computers with Windows XP is not a good sign for Windows Vista.
Microwho?
Things can change. Fast.
If it's anything like here, you have to ask someone in the videogames department at Toys'R Us to know when the next shipment is supposed to come in.
And be prepared to go there for a line-up at around 7:00 (yes, in the morning, possibly even on saturday).
Bloody peasant!
To me, Metroid comes before Zelda. I do have most of the Zelda games too, however (if not all).
Wii Play and such "games" are fine with me. However, the day you stop making Metroid and Zelda games is the day I don't buy your console.
P.S.: I never bought a Nintendo 64.

Hey buddy, it's called having an opinion. Get a grip.
As for MGM and Fox, it's called websites, not blogs.
Geeze.

The quality of the 3D models seems to be far better in the DOA games, especially volleyball.
And yet Dead or Alive Xtreme Volleyball 2 doesn't seem Xtreme enough to me.
;-)
Where's my XXXtreme edition?
Those are versions, not distros.
Dumbass AC.
Eh, we both forgot the Super Gameboy (GB add-on cart for SNES) and the Gameboy Player (GBA add-on for Gamecube).
Make that 8 Nintendo consoles/add-ons with Gameboy in the name.
And you forgot the Gameboy pocket, too. That means 6 consoles with the name "Gameboy".
Granted, Sony hasn't made consoles for as long as Nintendo, so who knows.
