Kudos to J for having a sense of humor. Guess he coulda been a bit sooner on making good though.

I thought N'Gai was a Khajiit when I first saw the post.

What's funny is that he lost the bet (by the numbers), but not by what he said. Universal devices really aren't very popular when you get down to it.

The iPod is the number one portable media player out there, despite the addition of many other devices that do more.

The cell phone still goes strong, while smartphones and pdas share a much smaller portion of the market.

I'm pretty sure digital cameras are more useful than anything else that has an integrated camera...

Wow, I had no idea there were 10 million idiots out there that wanted a $250 paper weight. I guess $250 will sell anything. Look at the Wii at that price. Lots of dumb people with $250 extra bucks to burn.

Go Figure!

360 days? I wonder if that was deliberate. Symbolic of the Xbox 360 and its attempt to dethrone Sony.

Allard clearly won the bet as it was 10 million units SHIPPED, not SOLD. So come on, off with the dreads now, rasta man ;)

Good man Mr. Allard

I also want to ask you guys a favor. My tv broke so I'm looking for a replacement. I'm only 14 so money is an issue. Luckily I have saved up $1000. So I would like to know what kind of tv you guys and girls play your 360 on. If you could private message me and tell me what brand the tv is, how big it is, how long you have had it, pros and cons, and if you wouldnt mind the price. I'm sorry for asking a second time but this is a big deal for me.

Funny thing is, I never see anyone using a PSP and I work for a game company. People at lunch are always playing their DS's or they are playing some card game like Magic. I wonder who Sony actually sold all those PSP's to. Maybe Ken K.'s payoff wasn't in cash or stock but in about five million PSPs...
