BeerFiles is a sometimes irreverent blog concerning all things to do with IT, technology, people and the media from the point of view of a hard boiled technology journalist and commentator. Stan has been in the IT game for about a quarter of a century. He has seen and written about the rise and fall of more than a few IT players and made many friends, some of whom he has even crossed swords with on occasions. Everything in this blog is purely Stan’s opinion so if you agree, wish to expand upon, correct a post or tell Stan he’s a clueless know nothing, please feel free.

I’m not a gamer but my kids and all their friends are. They’ve never quite forgiven me for buying them an Xbox a couple of years ago (on the advice of a friend) instead of a PlayStation 2.

After each visit to the local Block Buster, I kept getting reminded of why I’ve been in the doghouse for the past two years. The choice of games for PS2 is just so much greater.

I’m not sure that the PS2 was that much better as a games console than the Xbox but, if sales are anything to go by, as far as the market was concerned, it was about five times better.

Then along came Xbox 360 late last year, so far ahead of the competition that all Sony and Nintendo could do was watch.
