Then I doubly stand by my long shot regarding premature investments/dealings.

Whatever though, as long as Valve/Steam keeps being awesome, I won’t need any more consoles unless they’re just plain mind blowing.

School bus material this may be, but it’s material being reported on just the same.

This doesn’t seem much different than the tripe spewed by the kids who claimed they had Super Nintwodos and Sega ReGenesises or whatever they called ’em. I’m not about to trust anything anyone says until they have the pudding out for all to taste. (even though I previously had faith in Nintendo with the Wii-U…oh well!)

And you wanna talk about baseless conjecture? I think a lot of rumors about possible next gen systems are purposely thrown out there by the respective parent companies just for stock investments and to lure developers/publishers into making future business deals. That’s a pretty stupid move though by investors if all you’ve got is vaporware to go by, and most trends indicate no one thinks long term anymore anyway in those regards (another reason why the economy is in the shitter but that’s neither here nor there). That might just be me blowing smoke out my ass, but I wouldn’t put it past them.

Anyhow, I find the idea of a Sony-Microsoft alliance to be ridiculous. I mean, yes, it’s a damned golden idea for each company to complement each other and Voltron the hell out of Nintendo. For reasons you stated about “financial obligations” (think possible conflicts of interest with each company’s respective side dealings and product lines regarding console related stuff and whatnot) and splitting profit 50/50 though, there’s just no way in hell that’s going to be a plausible alliance in reality. They’d be able to put those boardroom brawls on pay-per-view. We’re talking about two evil corporations battling to the freaking death. I know I’d watch!
