You can pass most or God Of War by button mashing... Try doing that in Ninja Gaiden even in the easiest difficulty. Well I don't want to derail this topic into a NG vs GoW battle, so here are my comments on the article: 1- The PS2 wasn't "future proof" (as if there's such a thing) and it's having a long lifetime, while the more "future-proof" Xbox and Gamecube are now dead. This future-proof notion is ridiculous and needs to die. 2- This point could be good but I don't know much about those downloadable games. 3- Nah, I'd rather buy some cheap rechargeable batteries and charge them myself, rather than proprietary stuff. 4- No, just no. Too expensive (maybe in the next-gen). 5- This would be nice, although I'd rather have them focusing on more important things. 6-Another point which makes the entry-level consoles expensive and big. It also encourages mandatory installations which suck. No thanks.

my thoughts exactly. #1 and #4 are related too. The only good thing about Sony jumping the gun on technology is it may significantly reduce the cost of their next gen system (if there will be one) as well as reduce the cost of internal components should competitors decide to include them. This gen it remains mostly a good idea in theory, bad idea in practicality.
