Let me be clear about this: We’re not asking whether you think it’ll sink or float in the long run, we want your thoughts about the system and its games now and throughout the launch period,...

Only a few days after their interview in which Jim Merrick called Mark Rein out, Eurogamer gets the other side of the coin from Mark Rein.
