Once upon a time, there was a man named Kutaragi…  “You are all little men!†…who rode the cd and dvd wave to wild success…  “This was almost too easy! No wonder they will make me President of Sony.†But the richest software company decided to break the console cycle by ending their system before the usual five year mark…  “HAHA KUTARAGI! We are launching before you and will get established first! And when the PS3 launches, the PS3 will be walking right into Halo 3…†…and the third challenger arose…  “Hi guys! I have an announcement to make: we are not competing!† “Excellent! One less competitor to worry about.† “Haha. I see. You just want to be a niche market. Here that, boys? It is a two console race now.†Imagine the console war as a poker game and the CEOs merely players. Their hand represents their business plan. Each card is a part of that business strategy.  “Who will go first?† “Oh! Let me go first! I shall put down my first card: High Definition Gaming!† “Can you bastards match that?† “Yeah, Microsoft will match your HD Gaming card. Nintendo?† “No, Nintendo will not. Our console will not have HD gaming.†“What a dork console!† “Wow, Nintendo. You guys were right when you said you weren’t competing. OK, Kutaragi, we are putting down our ace: Xbox Live. Do you have anything to counter it?† Silence…  ] “We do! It’s Wi-Fi Connection! Not as many features, but its simple and free!† " Shut up, Nintendo! You guys aren’t competing anyway.†“Yes, I will counter with my own online service. Now it is time to put down the ‘Tech Specs Card’. Nintendo, you’re first.† “Whoa. We’re never going to release our technical specs! Our Revolution is powered by Pikmen. That is the secret!† “LOL Nintendo. What a joke you have become. We, on the other hand, have many polygons!† “We not only have many polygons, we have rubber ducky demos as well! And look how beautiful my PS3 case is. It will be expensive. If you want one, you will have to work harder in order to get it!† “My name is Reggie. And this console war is going to start with the liberation of Japan from Sony’s occupation through the DS.† “But the PSP can play porn. Look how I lie in bed, with an arm around a guy as we watch our PSPs together.† “Are those DS bedsheets? What in the world is wrong with you, Ken?† “The PSP is perfect I tell you! Even all the buttons! Would you argue with an architect of where he places a gate? Ever since that Westerner, Stringer, a complete Sony stranger took MY job as President of Sony, I’ve realized investing my life into this company was a waste. Why didn’t I make my own company? What a fool was I!†…and the PSP was promptly buried.  And at TGS 2005, Nintendo said…  “Wildcard!! I got a wildcard! Look guys at my fancy new controller:
