Why? Because one company decides they want a monopoly?

Huh? what?

There is no inherent reason videogames can't be played on all consoles, outside of the fact that either it's in the consoles liscensing agerement, or the developers don't feel like going through the trouble of making it multi-platform.
There is zero justification for why it should stay exclusive, if somebody can build another platform that would play it.
Are the people at Open Office wrong because they try and provide another system that reads microsoft word only docs?
|
Well, thats just the way it is, and that ''monopoly'' sure as hell isnt exclusive to sony, otherwise would MS and Nintendo allow their games to be played on other systems,.
As for justification to stay exclusive, all video game consoles have to have their own identity, to make themselfes look diffrent than others, otherwise there would be no competitive market and with no competition the industry wouldnt be as big and succesfull
|
That's not really a justification. I mean, that's like saying the Japan should have the right to nuke china, because otherwise Japan won't be able to comepete with China's economy.
And no, it isn't exclusive to Sony. Someone if they wanted could develop a 3rd party system that plays 360, Wii and PS3 games and it wouldn't be against the law.
The only difference is, Sony is the only one that's ever sued.
I believe there are commerical emulators out their for either Gameboy or Gameboy Advance.

I believe if GB or GBA was still in the market, Nintendo would SUE the peope trying to steal their customers. You have to realizie that PS1 was still selling on the market when Bleem was out.
And nuking the country with the biggest world population isnt as extreme as not allowing competition on the market
|
It came out before the DS released.
Also, not as extreme, but just as unresonable, as the only excuse given is "but we can't compete in a fair market."
