No real car audio enthusiast cares anything about what OEM equipment is making it into a car... if you're an enthusiast, no explanation necessary.
The point was nothing to do with quality in certain vehicles. You were making out that the Sony audio division was finished. Not true. Oh and as for OE equipment Audio you are showing a distinct lack of knowledge as to the systems fitted to some cars. Perhaps you drive an old cheap motor and the OEM stereo is poor? I don't know.

My wife is about as casual as you can get with gaming, playing maybe one to two games a month. Games like Uno, and Pixel Junk Monsters. But even she thinks Sony seems to have no direction. Any company that doesn't care their equipment isn't selling has no real direction.
Oh sorry i didn't realise it was your wife whose opinion you were touting as some mass surveyed fact.

That was the point... they are the audience that cannot afford to buy the system themselves. Most adults who wanted this stuff have it by now. I mean they reinvented it by coming out with all new controllers made for family electronic board like games, as well as releasing arcade games that are family oriented, bring the avatar which can join into a "party." No one on here can sit there and tell me the 360 is the same console it was when it released 3 years ago. It has way more features and flexibility than it did in November 2005. Now it can add that it has become a family friendly device, allowing you to watch movies, play games, and more.

MS did something that has never happened in the history of gaming before with the NXE.
Talk about huge exaggeration on a change of interface.
Of course now it has cartoon avatar and looks different all the parents are going to say "Here have the money" to little Johnny. I would imagine the kids could never afford it but the ones paying were the Adults anyway.
Are you seriously implying that no adults bought this for kids because it didn't have the NXE and now will?

It isn't just a hard core gaming device anymore. If it was, people on here wouldn't be complaining.
They have been. You didn't see the posts. Even on a new subject today, people find the time to slate the NXE and Avatars
http://forums.xbox-s...o...669445&st=0Years of people spouting we don't want the 360 to be for "casual games" it's a "hardcore Gaming Machine". whatever that terminology is supposed to signify . Now suddenly it's great because it has a fluffy side too
