Placement seems odd indeed.

Xbox Live higher than the entire Wii/DS consoles even though PC had online communities long before Xbox live?


Yes PC had online far before Xbox/360 you could use the same logic with video games in general PC had them far before Nintendo or Sega does that mean Nintendo or Sega was not influential in the console industry?  it cannot be denied that Microsoft revolutionized it for consoles, it is the basis for PSN, part of the reason console gamers are now so crazy about online and asking the question "Does it have co-op" everytime a game is announced is because of Microsoft, and it also boosted the sales of console games, Multiplayer console games sell millions in mere weeks now occasionaly, they successfully created the first indepth console network with indie games, downloadable content, downloadable games, Add on content, Demos and every other feature Xbox live has, its possible if not for Xbox live we would still be getting demo disc from Magazines.


It revolutionized it for consoles, but that does not make it a milestone in GAMING. The PC has had multiplayer online for over a decade before LIVE was even conceived on a drawing board. Also everything that you ranted off also was done on the PC for decades before it was done on LIVE.

This

I couldn't care less about what Live did for consoles, if they say top 10 milestones in GAMING, they can't just cut out computer gaming. Live may have given online to consoles, but how was that a milestone in gaming when PC gamers had it way before? GT is bad at seeing the big picture.


They've had that problem for years. They actually called Nintendo's strategy short-term in 2008. And now they are shocked that Sony and Microsoft are trying to copy that strategy.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
