    They built the right machine. They showed how expensive the consoles will be, while having the advantage to play any game. In my opinion, the only thing that will save Playstation and Xbox are exclusive titles or maybe some novel type of input device (similar to Nintendo, which is why they are still successful).

    I hope they will make it illegal to have platform exclusive games for longer than 2 weeks, because if this is the only way to get money, you didn’t deserve it in the first place.

      the advantage of the console is that you can go to your local library. some of us don’t like piracy. some of us (and i know this sounds ridiculous) can’t risk it for professional reasons. like there’s urban legend in grad schools about this one time this dude lost his licensure for hopping a turnstile in NYC and pleading guilty it’s ridiculous.

          The best part is it feels like blockbuster. And at least at mine you take the case up to the video game/librarians chair desk and get to gossip with the librarians about how the local cat colonies are doing and how your godchildren have been
