Just because you don't know anyone, doesn't mean that most people in the country own a flat panel. And not all flat panels are HD. As for the analog thing...I remember when 2006 was supposed to be its last year. What year is it now? I won't even bother commenting on the core gamer crap you said again. |
I don't get your point. It's 2009. Final year of analog TV in the USA. Are you suggesting it's not going to happen? A third of US stations shut off their analog signals last month, passing on the FCC's request to extend into summer. 34% of US households had flat panel TV's before this holiday season with sales expected to increase this year despite the recession.
I don't think people quite get my position. I am fine with Nintendo having half the market share. But the suggestion that they could/should have a monopoly is a nightmare scenario for gamers. Of course you'd have 3rd party developers making games for them if they were the only console but a large part of the gaming audience would not be properly served. Bethesda would make games for Nintendo but that game wouldn't be the Fallout 3 we know. Ubisoft makes games for all 3 consoles already and look at the difference in the results. And just a few minutes ago, I saw X-PLay's review of Dead Rising:CTYD. Don't assume that just because your console gets full 3rd-party support that you're going to be happy with the results.
