It's good to see the console doing well, and nice to see a story that isn't 'this console sold more than this console'.

Surely the most important thing is that all the consoles are doing well, enhancing competition and encouraging business from software and hardware developers.

I think you should research the words 'Pot' and 'Kettle'.

This is like giving an award to the retarted kid in the class for the "most improved student." When you have sh*t for brains, its not very difficult to make vast leaps forward. But at the end of the day, Sony is still riding the short bus.
