Bill's Training Them Young

From a London newspaper:

Last week 14 year old Reading boy, Matthew Anderton, was brutally beaten by 4 youths of a similar age. He was knocked to ground and then kicked repeatedly until the attackers fled due to the arrival of some adults. The assumption was that this was a playground falling out that had gotten out of hand, however on speaking to Matthew the police found there to be a totally different motivation to the attack.

Matthew claims that the 4 boys approached him when they saw he was wearing a ‘Crash Bandicoot’ T-Shirt (a popular character on Sony’s Playstation). The boys called him a ‘Playstation Prick’ and then launched at him. It is alleged that whilst they kicked him they shouted ‘Get an XBOX you fucking loser or you’ll get more of this!’

While it may seem like youth violence out of control, I say it's just standard Microsoft business practices in action.
