Why are people upset the blockbusters are on the HD Consoles?

@OP
hypocrasy of the companies. Last gen the companies made the big games on the weakest, hardest to develope for, but largest install base machine.

this gen these same companies are producing are hardest to easy, more powerful systems, but smallest install base platforms.

Then they go on spouting that the weaker console in incapable of having "serious" games. Compltetly ignoring the PS2.

The reason it seems that there is more whining is well because there are just more people on the larger install base. If last gen all these block buster games came out the cube(LOL) the PS2 fans would be whining just as much. It's just your seeing the same percetage, but the source amount is larger.

 

 

Anyways PC gaming is not the same as Console gaming. There is a unique grey area of conversion. The PC industry has upstream and downstream games, but the upstream gamer doesn't seem to care about downstream games(PoGo Games, Puzzle Pirates, Bewjewled, Addicting Games.....). This is the result that the PC community is more emotionaly mature. You don't get PC users who have $4000 rigs snickering at users who play the same games on a $400 Dell package. Sure they won't want to touch the $400 rig and think Dells sucks, but they don't insult the people with these computers as a whole. There are however exceptions. Also these differences in computers share 2 things that consoles don't. Games scale to the hardware(within limits) and both comuters do the same primary required functions and that they have the same common functionality. drive, input, audio.

Finally the PC industry doesn't compete in the same market place. Most PC users tend to use there computers for more than just entertainment. Word processing, editing.... Yes the consoles are slowly moving into the PC territory for entertainment(media), good for them. I do believe in removing the number of devices attached to the TV. So how many consoles allow you to edit your resume?
