Sky Render on 03 August 2008
The cycle of console history goes something like this...
experimental phase -> boom phase -> crash phase
The cycle then starts over in the experimental phase. We're currently at the end of the second cycle and beginning of the third cycle. Cycle #1 gave us:
single-game TV systems -> Atari 2600/Colecovision/Intellivision -> video game crash of 1984
It was a short cycle. The second cycle was:
NES/Master System/Genesis/SNES -> PS1/N64/Saturn/Dreamcast/PS2/GameCube/Xbox -> PS3/360
This cycle is still in decline due to the high prices involved in producing games for the 360 and PS3. And the third cycle only has this so far:
Wii
No telling how this one will end, we're still in the experimental stages.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
