lol Graphics of the early ps2... That's funny considering the graphics of the ps2 never changed.. Quit over exaggerating things it makes you look ignorant. Sony was also in the "Multi-player game" long before x-box even existed ever hear of a game called Twisted Metal?
As for people wanting to blame companies for taking money out of their pocket, really? You say Nintendo takes more money than Sony? I'm sorry which console was 600 dollars and went back on a lot of the promises it promised to have? It's a business and they're in it to make money, not to lose profit so a few 'hardcore' gamers can be happy that's they way all of the companies work.
You people need to get some things straight though the 3DS is a completely new hand held don't be mislead by the fact that it still had ds attached to it, it has completely different game cartridges and Wii (or greater) graphics and it'll probably still be less than 300 dollars.
Also there is a sticky about this topic already try reading sometime.
