CNBC 'proof that Sony is winning' reporter follow-up photo

How could we forget the headline "The Ultimate Proof That Sony is Winning," from CNBC reporter Jane Wells a couple of months ago? This statement was solely based on her 16-year-old son's choice of PS3 over an Xbox 360. We had a field day with that. Now she's back with a follow-up.

Today, in an article named "PlayStation, Xbox And Post That Launched A 'Thousand' Emails," Wells responds to an email from a reader, who asks for an update on her son and his beloved PS3.

It turns out that he regrets trading in his Xbox 360. He still likes his PS3, but he misses his Xbox Live buddies. Mom says:

I've noticed that he's not playing the PS3 very much, and, in fact, he's reactivated his old World of Warcraft account, from Activision's Blizzard Entertainment.

As for the PS3, he says that he's waiting for new games. So are we, man. They're coming though. It seems he's levelled up a bit, as he tells mom that he wants to save up to buy an Xbox 360 to have both. Now we're talking. 

That will only leave out the Wii, which, I'm afraid, he wouldn't be caught dead owning.

So the winner of the console war is PC?

Finally the child speaks. Now I know that my Wii is a total wast of time because a 16 year old hates it. Life is so much easier.

That PSN must be a sad, lonely place if it's turning people to WoW. Someone give this kid some Castle Crashers, stat!

I think it's sad that this got coverage in the first place. It was just a silly, lighthearted blog post that got taken entirely out of context by gamers. Quite sad, really. Not one of our finer moments. Makes us all look like whiny, alarmist douches... oh, wait...

"Also, MMOs still suck."

XBox 360's are all bricks.

I can make sweeping statements too!

"Then, perhaps, we can unite as one nation, one household, behind both consoles. That will only leave out the Wii, which, I’m afraid, he wouldn’t be caught dead owning."

Wow, how inspired, and yet... not at all. That's like saying both black people and white people should get along, but oh, we'll have the Mexicans and Filipinos clean our toilets. I guess it'll be like "freedom for all... just that some are freer than others."

keep in mind he misses his xbox because he misses his xbox live friends perhaps once he makes some new friends on psn it won't be such an issue...i'm sure if he had some COD4 he wouldn't be complaining that game is hours of endless entertainment. And if blizzard would just freakin port WoW to consoles i'd be playin it there instead of my computer (they've made these amazing devices called usb keyboards/mice blizzard!)
