Genesis players did lose because Mario wasn't on their console. Yes. I agree with that. Xbox 360 gamers ARE losing out because they can't play games like Uncharted 2 or Heavy Rain.

But 1st party is not equal to 3rd party.

Earlier in this thread, I stated that it was the responsibility of the 1st party to make their respective consoles a success. I stand by my words. And, the industry has survived. No doubt about that. But imagine how far it could go.

-As for the Wal-Mart/Target analogy, it doesn't cost me $300 to go to Target instead of Wal-Mart..... :P

Mario is with Nintendo, it can be bought. Drake is with Sony, it can be bought. Everything can't be available everywhere, and if they had been, you wouldn't be able to enjoy this wonderful gaming industry that exists today.

WE ALL LOSE if the need for competition is destroyed. A one-console market would be the end of gaming as we know it.

We pretty much had a one console market, last gen (PS2).  That turned out okay........

Anyhoo, once again, it is time for me to try to get a few minutes of sleep befor I go to work.  Wanna agree to disagree?
