I would have liked if they asked him if he was happy with the unmitigated success that is known as The ZUNE

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=21242

Is he saying that consumers are stupid who don't buy his system?

Bill don't make me trade in my 360!

I can't remember the last time I read something that someone said who was running a company or in political office or making movies and didn't think he sounded like a complete asshole.

The guy who made that FPS/is working on sending a rocket to the moon (and might actually do it) sounds distinctly unlike an asshole. However, he made that FPS game, and is trying to send a rocket to the moon. I'm saying you should check where rivers are flowing from before drinking.

I think, in a way, he is saying "The PS3 is buggy first gen hardware with shit for games, yet people are still forking over thousands on ebay for it."

To seem less assholish he should have said "Remember last year when the 360 launched and it really sucked? Sony's kinda like that now. Lol amirite?"

Dale that sums it up well. It seems like he's got the fear*.

FYI Zune is brought to you by the guys who made XBOX

It's kind of ironic that Bill Gates would complain about Sony being able to sell bricks considering that Microsoft is in the place it is now almost entirely due to the vendor lock it created through proprietary software. Pot, kettle, etc.

I love the giant pictures with the set-up. I guess that's edgy.
