Getting?

There's something tragically hilarious about how they're shredding the most powerful brandname in, what, 6 or 7 years into confetti.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
I don't blame them for being desparate after releasing a system so expensive you could buy two Wiis and several extra games and controls for the same price, and all for what? A bit of shiny graphics...
