Speaking to C|Net’s News.com, Bill Gates talked about new and forthcoming Microsoft products including the Zune, Office 2007 and the upcoming Windows Vista. Inevitably, the interviewer asked Gates about the Xbox 360 and the recently launched PlayStation 3. Gates said:

"I wouldn't change positions with them in a million years. I mean, we know what it's like to be a year late. We feel great about the position that we're in. And, of course, they're going to sell a lot in Japan.

You know, Sony can make 80,000 bricks, and people would buy them. So the real competition--you're going to see the impact of our innovation and all the momentum we have in Christmas 2007. This Christmas, the story is: Xbox 360 is going to sell super-well, and they'll sell the rounding error amounts they can make.

If i could choose between having the power brick being on the oustide of the console or inside the console, i would choose the outside. Putting it in the inside like the ps3 makes it bigger and heavier, putting it on the outside like the 360 allows the console to be smaller and lighter and i can hide the power brick under my cabinet that holds my tv.

Who gives an F about the brick?
I sure as hell don't, since it's lying behind my TV cabinet.

We're not talking about the damn brick. We're talking about the facts that how Idiotic and how much of a cretin Bill Gates is, for him to mock the PS3, then for it too back fire.

In this case, the brick is rather annoying, but still you don't really see it.

I agree with Timothay: Sony sucks.

Um.... he wasn't talking about it like that douche. Let me rephrase it for your small Sony fanboy mind to understand. He meant it like saying "Even if Sony released a Chicken, 80,000 people would buy it."

I wasn't entirely impressed with it when I first pull it out of the box, but I don't really care that it's there, like Hybrid said, it's behind my TV cabinet.

How is he a a Sony Fanboy, Fanboy's would be like "WHAT?! Sony is KINGZORZ!, Wii/Xbox is teh sux."

He's stating that Sony suck therefore he's not a Fanboy of Sony, therefore you're the douche.

Kthx.

Neither, am i wooing Sony with the PS3, i'm just mocking Bill Gates's choice of Grammar, notice the title, it's not "Xbox, lawl brick!!11"

Ever think he was just talking about bricks? You know, the items used to construct building? No where in that statement does it say "power" brick.

Yes, but he's saying "Sony can sell 80,000 Bricks" But, strangely enough, the Xbox actually comes with a Brick/Power supply.

Therefore being ironic, and then forwarding my point of posting this, jesus are you all un-educated?

Why would anyone talk about bricks, you moron.

Because you're an idiot.

I see the connection, but I do not feel that it is strong enough for it to be funny and/or ironic.

i concur. you're all idiots.
