| Entroper said: I like the fact that we have both types of companies involved in the console gaming business, because there are advantages to both. I tend to prefer when a company does one thing and does it exceptionally well over a company trying to have a slice of lots of different markets, but some companies do a good job of bringing resources and ideas from related fields into a new field. For example, Microsoft is heavily focused on user interfaces, and this allowed them to create Xbox Live, which has sparked Sony and Nintendo to innovate in this area. In the 32-bit era, Nintendo was too used to running the show, and thought that they could maintain the status quo; however, Sony's marketing experience and resources allowed them to greatly expand the video gaming market. So while I still believe Nintendo makes some of the best games and has a better vision and understanding of video games as a medium, both MS and Sony have been valuable contributors due in part to their experience outside of the video game industry. |
You're right.
Although, thanks to Sony I won't ever enjoy the golden shine of a new ZELDA cartridge again. Curse you Sony, you and your Disc Drive!
-But at least the games are longer, and I got to admit the graphics are pretty nice, not to say I wouldn't buy Zelda if the next game looked like the very first.
