Flash Drives get cheaper by the day. Hell my company hands them out with the logo as a marketing tool. They are far cheaper then most other storage options. Durable? Alot of them break really easy so I don' know where you got durable from. As far as Microsoft being cheap, that is most likely a relative term.
Several things here;
Things that are useless; vibrating controller on menus, I would go far enough to say that is annoying.
an SD card to play music??? the other 2 have hard drives to store music, you can stream music from your pc onto your xbox and/or media center, so thats a loss.
You are right everything is a gimmick, I guess I'm the only one who just wants to play zelda on a normal controller.
the PS'2s power wasn't laughable in comparison, it was greater the the game cube in my opinion and rivaled the xbox just fine. It took a while, just as it will with 360/ps3, to utilize its power but it turned out just fine.
I guess my big thing is integration with a pc, thats just a personal note. Guess which company wins at that?
Final problem I have with nintendo ; They change it way to much, new controller almost entirely every system, backwards compatability is non existent, basicly. Nintendo will hold strong, but the other 2 systems will prevail.
Go ahead and flame away now.
Nintendo will be third, if not in units sold then by sheer profit numbers. I'm not speaking to the debate of which one is a better console (360 for myself), just marketing and sales.
I do think microsoft will win the war of the consoles. Their online system, subscription fees aside, is better then sony's and nintendo doesn't even have online. Online is huge for consoles now. The remote is cool and all, but its also almost just a gimick. I really think nice graphics an online system and consistent playability will give microsoft and sony the edge over nintendo.
For those reasons Nintendo will remain third, but hey at least there not quite SEGA.

Have to write on something....
I usually read every page of comments on every story, because my time is worth nothing.
God please help all the poor nerds who actually watch this garbage. Someone please put Star Trek to rest.
