Food for Thought

Happy 2008 to everyone!  I hope everyone got what they wanted and needed over the holidays.  I wanted to write a quick post to give my food for thought on the present state of the game consoles and companies.While everyone made their predictions (and most came true) last year and many recent articles had the best of's and Top 25, etc, I just realized that noone has actually compared game console companies to food.. at least not yet... So, here is my take, let me know what you think....
Nintendo is like McDonald's: Well liked, charming and loved by kids and families the most.  Inexpensive to buy, yet, rejected by some adults with more 'refined tastes', and they're all out of the one happy meal toy that everyone wants.
Sony is like Panda Express: Great take out, beautiful package, a little more upscale, and, nutritious in several ways even.  But, with most chinese food, a few hours later just leaves a little something to be desired.
Microsoft is like Pizza Hut: It looks good enough.  Tastes good, but, is awfully greasy, and not cheap either. Yet, its very filling and available anywhere, but if you don't down a salad (cost of xbox live) with it, you're left feeling bloated or 'tapped out'.
That's just my 2 centavos ;o)  From one gamer to another.. Have a safe, healthy and happy new year!
