I don't buy a system, and then beg for games that aren't on said system....instead of buying the system with the games. I bought a 360, and I have enjoyed both the Orange Box and L4D. My sentiment is that Valve are just being assholes. "The PS3 is too hard". That's it. Sure, they make good money, but if the only excuse for not putting games on the PS3 is "it's too hard" (especially when smaller devs have put out EXCELLENT games on that platform), then that is unacceptable. Plus, why would they ignore 23M people? Wii fans do it all the time when the Wii gets shafted on major 3rd party franchises. "They are stupid for ignoring 50M people"....there's never any flak for those statements. And yes, the PS3 is a Ferrari, by comparison. The 360 is the bare minimum for gaming. The PS3 has Blu-ray, Cell, HDD in every system, free online, etc (sounds like PR lol). 360 has DVD and a computer processor. And remember when M$ said HDMI and 1080p don't matter (lol)? Yea...PS3 is the Ferrari |
Man-o-man ... I would rather collect a huge check than work. It's nothing personal, but I like to get paid and spend time with my family. I would rather play video games 24-7 instead of going to a slave. I want to have the least stress-free job and get as much as possible. I want Obama to tax me for making over $250K.
Anyhow, back on Valve. Here's the deal - they see how much effort it takes to make a PS3 game, how much manpower it takes and are like 'Eff this.' That's their prerogative. And they are happy making the cash they are making. They could make so much more with PS3 titles, but Valve isn't down for extra stress ATM. Why knock them for their stance? They don't want to make PS3 games. You said you have a 360, right? Why are we even discussing this?
You asked - why ignore 23M potential customers? Why not? As stated, if I am making more than enough with just the 360 and PC crowd, what a few extra million? ROTFL.
Man, you really <3 the PS3. I hate to correct you, but my Arcade - with a 120gb, HDMI and an HD-DVD player - two add-ons - plays movies and games in full HD. Blu Ray? I still have more HD-DVDs than Blu Rays - and will likely keep buying HD-DVD movies instead of Blu Rays as long as I have that option. Why pay $20 for a Blu Ray when I can buy the HD-DVD equivalent for $5? And hey - it does 1080P purdy. Bourne and The Kingdom - and the Matrix - and especially Planet Earth look great @ 1080P.
You see the outstanding value in the PS3. Most consumer don't, at its current price. Valve doesn't.
