I keep trying,honest I do. Over the years I have had very little practical use for Sony products. They often seem a runner up in utility to something else. The music players aren't quite up to the iPod's ease. The PS2 wan't as moddable as the original XBox was. And the PS3's distinguishing feature seems its ability to lord Blu-ray over the failed HD-DVD. I wanted to believe that I would watch Blu-ray movies all the time, but the reality is that I seem to download/stream most of my videos, and have watched a grand total of...one Blu-ray.
But even as I consider selling my dust-gathering Sony products, despite the dearth of PS3-only titles, and the notable limits of the PSP as a convergence device (I'm talking to you pathetic browser and "b" connectivity) I keep getting reeled in at the last minute. Tekken 5 kept me glued to the PSP until I had mastered at least 4 characters. Now Tekken 6 (Bob is completely awesome) halts my Amazon marketplace promotion of the "PSP +case+ UMDs for $100 thank you." Just as my finger was poised to shuffle off this mortal coil the PS3…God of War III comes into view, staying yet again the execution of the PS3 sale to yonder 12 year-old who didn't get a Slim for his Christmas present.
I should just be happy that these devices are here, sharing a warm home and electricity with the other members of our home. The XBox doesn't mind. The iPod doesn't. They're too busy actually being used.
