| eugene said: Ok, I dont wanna seem annoying about it, but I had alot of hopes in it. I am dissapointed and consent to a defeat. Whats yalls take on what this means in the overall picture? Is it the failure of the game, the company, the hardware, the hardcore gaming culture, or a failure in marketing? Or is it just a Xbox boycott? |
The failure of the Xbox in Japan is part of it. Also, a shift in the gaming culture is another component. I think the newer generation is taking up non-games and casual games alot more these days. New IPs are generally not doing well.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
