Haha. Yeah, the X Box section rocks. Microsoft dropped that like a rock and you're joking yourself if you think otherwise.
The stats speak for themselves. It's been well over a year since the 360 released and the Xbox is still slated to get several more titles later this year, a full year and a half to two years since Microsoft apparently "shortened the life span" of this generation. How many games do you see scheduled to arrive on the cube? And it's only been a couple of months. Seeing as how the Xbox is still getting new titles to it's platform one could easily deduce that it's lifespan was longer than that of the gamecube's, making it a run of about 6 years. I don't know exactly how long previous generations lasted, but 6 years of games on a console seems a fair amount to me.
I suppose "dropped like a rock" is a figurative phrase and could be interpreted in many ways, but the obvious intention with which it was used in your statement implies it is misappropriately placed at best.
This statement makes the falsified implication that it has never been done before.
No, "my dear boy," it was sarcasm, as in I was
implying the
opposite of what was literally said. Indeed, I meant that Nintendo and Sony had each raced to release their consoles in the past, and what Microsoft was doing was nothing new or special. Which, coincidentally, refutes your point.
I thought it was obvious, but I guess I also better clarify that I don't think Sony and Nintendo go on picnics, nor was I literally implying that they ate gumdrops and sugar cookies. If my observations are done blindly I begin to wonder with what senses your observations are made, if any at all.
