Tiger sucks.
The three sections you highlighted are meant as jokes not as personal attacks. Introducing my argument with a joke may have been a bad decision, but I hope you see that I tried to respond to your criticisms fairly and (I was hoping you could confirm) accurately.
One of the points I was trying to make is that I don't believe Sony won because of their innovation or lack thereof as you seemed to believe. I believe they won because of a few good business decisions and that's how I tried to frame my argument. I also felt you were very negative against Sony while failing to criticize Microsoft for the same faults. In my opinion, Nintendo is the only company that has ever come out with anything original.
My first PS2 couldn't play CD-ROM games. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until after my warranty expired because I only owned FFX for the first three months I had the system. I read up on this and found out it was a known problem on all of the PS2 that came out in that timeframe. Rather than recalling the defective systems, Sony replaced those that complained and screwed those that didn't like me. Lordofchaos can tell you that Microsoft isn't all that better off in that respect with their new systems. I agree that it sucks, but I'm not sure if it's an argument that differentiates the two companies.
