S.T.A.G.E. on 12 May 2010
Nintendo brought me into the gaming industry, but eventually lost me with the Gamecube. Microsoft and Sony have fulfilled my gaming needs as I become increasingly interested in mature titles. If they weren't around, i'd probably quit. I'd also feel sorry for third party companies. If it wasn't for the two of them, gaming wouldn't be as large as it is today. I give Nintendo all the respect in the world for what they introduced me to, but they haven't kept me as a gamer. I grew up and they couldn't grow up with me. They've innovated technology, but not concepts for the growing gamer. If Microsoft and Sony disappeared so would I (unless another brand came in to fill in for them).
