Damn, dude... that's rough.
I'm still a Nintendo fanboy at heart too though. We'll probably all end up owning XBoxes in the future, when Nintendo goes third party for Microsoft and Sony falls down the same path that Nintendo did a decade ago. All the third parties will begin producing for Microsoft and Sony will have nothing. The only thing Nintendo has going for it is strong first and second party gaming. (Though with Rare gone, their second party gaming isn't quite as strong.) Sony doesn't have strong first or second party support, so... they'll probably have to go back to basic electronics.
