Sony's PR will have to point out how much of growth there was month-on-month (What? A bigger December than November? YOU MUST BE KIDDING!) because year to date and year on year are abysmal.
I'll admit it: My GPU doesn't do everything. But it runs Photoshop. And games in 1080p60.
There is a reason why this comparison is flawed (GPUs aren't just for games), but the one you have given is ridiculous.
One billion units in 16 years = 62.5 million per year
35 million units in 5 years = 7 million per year
P.S.: The irony in "your [sic] a moron" is hilarious.
And why is that? Are there many hot chicks watching you play video games? I bet your waving around a Wii controller makes them all giddy.
This obviously can't replace keyboard and mouse. Not even close.
But the narrowmindedness in here is staggering. If a first person game were made with Kinect in mind from the beginning, it would certainly work. Retrofitting it onto a fast-paced game like Left 4 Dead obviously doesn't work.
Something like Amnesia would be perfect for Kinect. Especially on a big projection screen.
To follow up my analogy: It is now up to the owners of the suitcase to decide what they do with their hidden bottoms.
Will they use it at all? Will they use it as a simple extra compartment? Or will they use it for smuggling illegal content?
Sony is suing the guy who uncovered the hidden bottom when it should be after the smugglers instead.
Sure, the key had to be decoded. So? It was still on his console.
Imagine you sell me a suitcase. This type of suitcase has a hidden bottom, but nobody knows how to open it. It's the designer's secret.
I figure out how to get access to this hidden bottom and publish my findings on the internet so that other owners of the suitcase can access their hidden bottoms.
Have I done anything wrong?
You are both wrong, and the outcome of this legal battle will prove it.
Geohot did not steal anything. They key was on his own paid console.
For electronics, you can simply exchange the currency sign. That'll give you a pretty good idea.
€349 would be around $349.
Piracy is illegal. Installing a custom firmware is not.
If I replace my car seats with a different brand I'm still allowed to drive on public roads.
So wait a second. If Sony made a competitor product to the Ipod, do you really think it would sell worse than Apple's Ipod?
These things sell because there aren't Japanese alternatives.
But SONY made the TOS. So they're legally binding for SURE. Sony is the best company in the world, you know?
P.S.: No, I'm not serious. I feel like I need to add this bit of information considering we're on N4G and I could thus be completely 100% moronically serious. But I'm not.
He's a professor of computer science. Just about ANY of his peers completely supports him on this stance. And rightfully so.
You're banking on nobody actually googling it and taking your word for it, because your half-truths are thrown out of context.
It is a feat. It takes Japan over 2 years to sell 2.5 million PS3 units.
You fail at math quite hard.
On a 3MB connection it downloads in just over an hour. On a 3Mb (mega bit) connection it downloads in about 9 hours.

Oh, you mean THOSE pics and vids. You just made me realize that if my place burned down, it would be a freaking disaster.
Well, just follow the discussion around the PS3 custom firmware.
N4G is aflame with Sonyboys wishing cancer on anybody who even thinks of modding their PS3 to make it more open.
I'm not going to start naming a bunch of failed products that had huge marketing campaigns. Failed products that in some cases ended up ruining the company.
You and your kind wouldn't listen anyway. A big marketing campaign could sell dog turd? But yes, of course it could.
