It seems like everyone just read the 1st sentence and skiped right to posting. I DON'T CARE WHAT COMPANY IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER! So stop with the comparisons all ready. |
Your entire OP is based on the premise that Microsoft and Sony are messing up the industry.
Even what you call Nintendo's laziness is brought on by Sony and Microsoft.
You compare the gaming industry to the music industry, while saying gaming is no good in its current form, so either:
a) Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo need to step up the first party development, or
b) There are many different brands of console, all of which can play every game, giving us a situation like the MP3 player.
To be honest, I think the industry is fine as it is. Within the next couple of quarters, all three companies will be profiting, sales for all consoles are strong, and there is a diverse and quality range of games on every platform. The last thing we need is a company like Apple having complete domination over the industry.
