McDonald’s coffee tastes absolutely terrible to me; as if it’s been sitting there, cooking for 3 hours too long or something. I’m with Mikal…I love my Keurig.

Fair point- as Adrianw and others have echoed below. I didn’t include WiiU because it didn’t seem to be Next Next Generation in it’s specs (drastically better than Xbox 360 + PS3) — and because since the SNES, Nintendo has promised that each subsequent version of their platform would also be for “hardcore gamers”. After the criticism of the N64 not having a strong slate of 3rd party games- they went as to get Resident Evil on Game Cube before seemingly abandoning the market all together with the Wii. Historically, Nintendo just hasn’t been able to capture the ‘core’ gamer market and ‘core gamer’ software titles- so I’ve in the mean time viewed WiiU as a complementary platform to an Xbox or PS3. I may be proven wrong.

The PSP actually has sold quite well and made Sony a lot of money. It’s sold more then the PS3 and 360 actually. So saying the PSP was a failure is just not true.

pretty sure this was the plan all along…it just makes more sense now, also XBOX is still making profits and Sony is still playing catchup let us also not forget that due to the PS3, Sony won the “Format Wars” although with the way the world is trending towards cloud computing this may not be as huge as they had wished.
