A Love Letter (Of Sorts)
Dear Sony::
Where did we go wrong?
I remember it like it was yesterday -- the summer of 1998, the first time I lovingly gazed upon the Playstation (the original, of course). The feel of your controller, the charming (if occasionally laughable) graphics, but best of all, you were my first console that was all mine.
In 2000 -- and then in 2001 -- I lost you and found you once more. It was like we were meant to be -- we were never truly inseparable. You were always there for me, no matter what was wrong in my life, and because of you, life was relatively good.
In 2003, I moved on to the PS2. Times were still good, of course, and for a while, no matter what else happened in life, at least I had you.
There were rocky times in there, of course -- as with the Playstation, I'd lost and found you over and over. To this day, however, I still have a PS2.
But then Microsoft came along -- the Great Console War of 2005. I resisted for the longest time, but in 2007, I fell in with a bad crowd and was seduced by the XBox 360. Don't get me wrong -- I had a lot of fun with him -- but I think, deep down, I knew it just wasn't the same.
Now, here we are, the year 2013. The Second Console War is on, and I realize now that I've been such a fool.
Sony, I know you are still probably angry at me... but here, take my money, and let's make it right.
I'm coming home tonight -- Microsoft can keep their XBone, I'll take a PS4.
XOXO
