Jane Wells of CNBC writes:
” Forget the analysts. Forget the NPD sales figures. Forget the CEO’s. I live with the ultimate expert on the video game industry—my 16-year-old son.”
She continues on about how her son watches G4, loved the Xbox and was never much of a PlayStation fan…until E3 08. According to Ms. Wells, “After hearing about “Metal Gear Solid 4”, as well as other PlayStation exclusives in the pipeline and the awesomeness of Blu-ray, he promptly packed up his Xbox 360 and all his games and went down to Game Stop to trade them in.” If that isn’t ultimate proof Sony is “winning”, then I don’t know what is.
With Nintendo showing they don’t care about the “core” gamer, Microsoft showing imitation is the highest form of flattery and Sony showing why their consoles sell 100mil, maybe one gamer’s exodus is just the beginning?
Just because her son picks it doesnt mean that its winning. He may have the opinion of a dick tbh
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Seriously, the entire premise of this blog is an utter failure.
Discussing consoles as venues to play games, comparing their features, and debating the quality of their games is one thing.
Using one 16-year-old's subjective stance as 'cause to ultimately damn an entire console is something completely different... and it's beyond sophomoric and ignorant.
Seriously, what does it matter to you who sells more consoles? All three major hardware manufacturers are well entrenched; they're not going anywhere.
With the majority of games are multiplatform and so many UI ideas being transplanted from one system to another... this is becoming more and more pathetic.
Do you sleep with your PS3 at night? Stick your needle-dick in it's slots? Seriously, grow the fuck up! Who cares about some 16 year old? My brother is 15 and loves the 360, see, I just gave you proof that the 360 is winning!!!!
Seriously dude, grow up.
We're here to discuss games, not lick Sony's nut sack
Still, I feel like a douche just for dropping another comment in his pathetic blog.
or is it just me?
Okay, that last fucking comment was way out of hand, you little twat.
Well done Wrath! Youve trolled a lot of people!
I love my PS3 as much as the next guy, unless that next guy is Wrath I suppose.
Thank you!
