This is what SW is all about. Great links and timeline. The VF5 coming to 360 is a big deal. I think it's the beginning of many Playstation "exclusives" going to the 360.Berserker_2
i think the beggining began with assasins creed!

[QUOTE="ScalIywag"][QUOTE="FutonForensic"][QUOTE="ScalIywag"] And to add to the list, the patent Sony just recently filed to make a wiiMote type device for their console.

Sony's WiiMote

Sony invented this 10 years ago but felt we weren't ready for it, but now they think the world is ready and decided to file the patent.  At least that's what they'll say 2 years from now. Well that, and that Nintendo stole their idea, like rumble and analog sticksScalIywag

To Sony regarding the post above:

You gotta be kiddin' me.

You mean about the WiiMote type of device for Sony???

Nope.  It's all there in black n white.  Makes you wonder if they can be taken to court for constantly doing business in this manner. 

Dont forget about this disappointment also.....

lol I had completely forgotten about that.

This thread is great. All companies are going to screw up all the time. However, when comparing with Microsoft, please make the list stick to console-related events. I know you're going to have a 2 page list if you're doing the overall screwups of Microsoft. The list can trace as far back as 1980s. I don't think Nintendo really had any screwups as they were quite quiet with their Wii. gnutux

Electronic Gaming Monthly, in an interview with Sony's Jack Tretton in early January, mentioned the recent availability of his company's console: "...it seemed like about 50 percent of the people in line were there to make a quick buck on eBay. And now we're seeing a lot more units on store shelves." Jack seemed a tad surprised by this, but he put his money where his mouth is: "If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it. I can get any retail buyer on the phone with you and get them to verify that there's not a single retail location in America where there's a PlayStation 3 on the shelf for sale. They've all been sold in a matter of minutes." After EGM let Tretton know they had indeed phoned 18 stores and found half of them had PS3s in stock, some stores with as many as 20 consoles, Jack held firm "if only nine of the 18 stores you contacted had supplies, that seems to be a clear indication that sales continue to be outstanding." So there you have it, Jack's not backing down. We're guessing our check is already in the mail.

Here here to the OP for creating possibly the most successful and well-put-together thread in SW history.

I appreciate arguments supported by facts...and this certainly has its fair share.

I'm building a custom media center and I plan on it being full DX10 and more powerful than a 360 or PS3. So, I'd assume that it would be a machine that's pretty close to the PS1. However, I can't really say much about your comment because you have a picture of JMarc, and I'm a LSU fan so. . .

If you look January 13 was wrong you said EB games did a trade in your PS2 for $100 off a PS3 well that very same week they did trade in your gamecube and get $50 off the Wii and 1 year ago they did trade in your xbox get $100 off the xbox 360 so you are completing wrong.

PS3 is corrupting PS2 Virtual Memory Card Saves at random. Sony Silent....

Since the launch of the PS3, there have been widespread reports that the PS3 has been randomly deleting PS2 Virtual Memory Card Saves, seemingly at random. Having experienced the loss of over 50+ hours of Grand Theft Auto on my PS3 (after my PS2 saves were somehow corrupted), I contacted SCEA, only to be shrugged off. PS3 owners demand answers...

oh shut up, they did that for cost reduction, people like you are always complaining about PS3s price but you bash them for trying to reduce costs. Get a life MS fanboy. Fanboys like you and their "Sony lies" crap are just annoying.

If this is already on the forum, sorry, but I just wanted to make sure. If you can't even get your own people to say your product/service is superior, who's gonna do it? Here's an interview w/ Phil Harrison in which he states that the 360 supports devs more than the PS3...
