PlayStation 3 Losers Need to Get a Life
The launch of the latest generation of video game consoles has now come and gone. As usual, the launches coincided with a massive media orgy, hysterical crowds camping out at the megastores and some all-around bad behavior on the part of a lot of people. The PlayStation 3 launch, in particular, seemed to drag down the collective IQ and social skills of a lot of people. Talk about a bunch of losers who need to get a life.
You're a Loser
Before I go into the details of why the PS3 launch was such a disaster and why so many people involved in it at all levels are losers, let me clarify exactly who I'm talking about as far as what a PS3 loser is and please note that, although I'm focusing on the PS3 launch, some of this also extends to Xbox and Nintendo gamers as well.

You're a loser if...
- You paid $500 and up for a video game system.
- You camped out anywhere to buy one for your personal use.
- You camped out anywhere to buy one and then try to dump it on eBay or some other auction site for a massive profit.
- You were stupid enough to fall for Sony (and Nintendo and Microsoft's) pretend shortages designed to stoke consumer angst and create a media event around the launch of a videogame system.
- You're a parent and you actually bought a PS3 for your kid because of the hype.
- You're a Sony executive and you thought your system would rule the roost...joke's on you, Nintendo is outselling you. Your system costs too much, thanks to your decision to use it to try and force Blu-Ray onto the world.
- You're a game developer and you develop exclusively for the PS3.
