[x3sphere]

It was a given that the bold claims made by Sony Computer Entertainment head honcho Kaz Hirai would prompt a response from Microsoft.

Speaking to Offficial PlayStation Magazine, Kaz proclaimed the 360 will suffer the same fate as the original Xbox in lacking longevity and said he was completely certain that PS3 would have a higher install base near the end of its promised ten year life cycle.

Not one to take such comments lightly, Aaron Greenberg of Microsoft issued a response today, calling Kaz out and labeling Sony as an "old hardware company." More after the jump.[blockquote2]This sounds like an old hardware company that

<p>When and where has M$ been innovative with the 360 or any of their other products? Besides incompatibility issues and a new design, there isn't much difference between XP and Vista. The only reason were not on IE 6 is because of Firefox, but other than a new GUI, not much new here either.</p>
<p>The only thing that M$ has innovated with the 360 is milking the consumer for their money with their featureless consoles. People can argue all they want about not having to pay for features they don't want. Then again why would you buy a Ferrari and never drive it over 35mph? Why would you buy a 360 and not have a HDD or XBL when PSN is free and EVERY PS3 sku comes standard with an HDD. Wireless could be an option for PS3 but I sure as hell woudn't want to pay for the outragously overpriced add-on for the 360.</p>

<p>Windows Vista is based off of Server 2003, features UAC, new security, DWM graphics, better Win Update, better 360/PC connectivity.</p>

<p>$399 for PS3's base unit, $250ish for Xbox's base unit, and I guess being able to stream Windows Media Center, having xbox live arcade, killer multiplayer support, an awesome achievments systerm that was the first of it's kind, and a great friends system, as well as WLM integration isn't innovative. I suggest you cut out your blatent fanboy fud and think before you talk, it makes you sound like a fucking idiot. By the way idiot, wireless is also included in the Pro unit.</p>
