lol, I buy bullets for my .454 Taurus Raging Bull, my Glock 40, and my 12 gauge Mossberg Persuader.
I said it because I shoot my bullets into the ground in my backyard.
If I, a working schmoe, can afford to spend 500 bucks on such a meaningless item as target ammunition, then why can't the average consumer be bothered to drop a couple hundred bucks on a mega gaming upgrade evry 5 years or so.
If cycles were shorter, and console were all BC/FC, then it would be much, much better for all gamers, imho. If we find a console we don't like (PS3, Wii, 360), we can just wait them out.
Also, new technology could be integrated very quickly.
I think Nintendo spoiled us for value with the NES and SNES. We feel as if we're entitled to decades of endless entertainment for a 200 dollar investment, when 200 dollars...isn't at all a lot of money.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
