Show me anything on the PC that allows universal friends, voice chat, messaging, score comparison, achievements, etc. on the PC without having to cobble together a bunch of different applications that all your friends need to grab as well. I thought they called that Steam?
You are assuming that all gamers are concerned with performance. I think the Wii sales alone indicate otherwise, as it is admittedly the least formidable in this category.
People choose to use Nintendo's console because it is fun to play.
I still play my N64, which is 10 years old itself, and quite enjoy it for the very same reason. Many others will tell you that the SNES is still their favorite system.
Vivendi owns Blizzard, though Blizzard has some kind of "don't fuck with our development" clause that basically allows them free reign on their own projects. The new company will be owned in majority by Vivendi, as major shareholder.
The overlords stay the same. It's just some new underlings;)
It would seem that Blizzard Entertainment, as it is proposed, "...a division of Activision Blizzard.." will remain just as it is now. Hopefully.
I feel sorry for the concertgoers. Many times myself have I tried to purchase tickets to a show only to find that they've been "Sold Out" to third parties, who have marked them up a good $30 on Craigslist, Ebay etc.
Just as with any case along these lines, services that may allow crimes to be committed need to be separated from the crimes themselves.
As far as I can tell, there are many ways to mine for personal information on the internet that do not require the use of P2P sharing programs. In this case, should the usage of the internet as a whole be deemed unlawful?
Normally a gamer walking into a store can see the Blizzard name on a title and know that they will require Bill Gate's Microsoft Windows to play. Every Blizzard game since the original Warcraft can be played on both Mac and PC.
Diablo and WOW are impressive feats. I don't think we will see another WOW for some time. Its one of those seminal moments in gaming history, when a company just "got it right". It was the right game at the right time. Pretty much the same with Diablo. I doubt they can do it three times but they might just be the only people do so. I think you may be forgetting StarCraft, which has sold more copies than Diablo and Diablo II combined.

I've heard that, as a loophole, the international group ECHELON has the security agency of another country monitor citizens for America, as we monitor theirs for them. In this way, I believe, these kind of actions have been going on for a long time.
Things that were predicted about atomic interaction were proved true much later. I assure you that scientists do not assume something is completely true without rigorous attempts at discounting its nature, and atomic theory as it is presented today is generally fully accepted worldwide. Of course, there are still things we don't understand, but we wouldn't try to slap a name on them and call it factual at the first sign. That's medieval.

I'm sure someone would pay big bucks on E-bay for a Star Wars Turd.
Interestingly enough, though admittedly this is according to Wikipedia, the CIA produced and smuggled Heroin into the U.S. to fund an Afghani radical movement.
If you were sarcastically referencing this, forgive my comment.
They are going to scrap the machines. The parts will be sold. This is a literal example of "scrapping."

Sell some tickets online, sell some more at the venue.
Now you can use our software anywhere. As long as that software is already there.

Solar power?
But think of the badass logo

It's a Wikipedia article. You don't need to tell us it needs revision.
