First, what I think about this last gen. I think it sucked, terrible when it contrasts to everything else.
However the following statements are for these consoles, nothing else.
The DS is amazing. First they made it small then they made it big. It is a game creators dream, the DS. Even the new Sonic game on the 3DS is auwsome. The only bad part is how Nintendo dropped, original Gameboy support, and made the carts so damn tiny. The original Gameboy, not the GBA was perfect in size. It keeps on sucking after that. Otherwise, every release on the Wii, PSP, PS3, and etc could be ported to the DS, and be an instant hit, or even better. Just plug that thing into the composite and play. Plus it looks like a Game and Watch as well.
PSP was probably the best investment, a person could make. But a PSP without the UMD is just a PPC. That is why the PSP gets bonus points for being a cheap PPC. All you need is to make phone calls, and watch youtube videos, and you virtually have the worlds smallest micro-computer.
When we talk about HARDCORE GAMING. The PS3 wins, because it is the Japanese developer, and other games that was ported from the 360 bad or good, have been ported to the PS3. However the system from my understanding, gets sloppy seconds, when it comes to software.
360 aka the RED RING OF DEATH, AKA the NOBOXII, AKA the game system whos add-on never was accepted ( HD-DVD ), as the norm. The 360 is basically the new Sega Saturn, or the underdog of the game-verse. Capcom and many Japanese companies tried so hard to promote the game system.
It is also being called an XXX box in some cases. The way I see it, for an mainstream audience of brainwashed young adults, this is their system.
The biggest problem with all of these game systems is the downloadable content. DLC is just another way of saying, I own something I can never sell, or charge a hefty price for. It is called shareware, it is called timelock software. It is like how Halloween Harry and DOOM used to do, with shareware or what software vendors still do today. But your paying for something you can't hold in your hands.

On the subject of mailing system in Europe, they are corrupted, and they know it. Look at Canada, they want people using UPS going to Canadian citizens to pay twice for crossing the border. You have to think, in a place where medical is government supported, along with animation, why not? I have tons of things from Europe, that sorta fell off the truck, and never fell into my hands. The way I see it, is like how everybody bad mouths "natural born citizens of Amerikan" for stupid war, stupid inhuman rights, etc......you have the same "natural born citizens of your nation, making it difficult for everybody. Like if we all just drop dead, the world would not care a cent about our lives, or why we enjoyed whatever. They will just look at us, as being the r-tards, for investing in the material in the first place.
I know corruption is everywhere, but when it is in your face and your not organize, and you "love" your nation like a wayward child. The only way to fight it, is to be immigrants, live a hermit crab lifestyle, and organize the masses. If I want a good house, I have to pay money to people who would love to see me, in jail, get fired, have my children taken away from me, or somewhere in between. Then just to fight that corruption, I would have to run a half-way house, playing police-nanny, to everybody that enters.
Rome and colony of Haiti, fell was because they had too many slaves that, did not believe in the cause. In our society we got tons of slaves, slaves who are tricked into making a little cash, and feeling they have some Independence, but they our shadowless masters, have it all planned out. They give us something to depend on, give us imaginary pacifiers. Slaves mastering slaves, mastering slaves. A pyramid in a nutshell, but the pyramid loops round and round because everybody is always worshiping, another slave. Billions of examples could be made.
