| Demac said: Microsoft really hurt the next gen consoles with the choice of staying with DVD and releasing an Xbox with no Hard drive. Multi platform games must support this and the PS3 will suffer as a result. So most games wont make use of the extra space of the BD unless the PS3 pulls out in a dominate position which is anybody;s guess if it will or not. |
Hurt? Are you kidding? The only multi-DVD game released so far this gen, that I know of, is Blue Dragon, and that's a cutscene- and speech-laden RPG. Not to mention the fact that including a built-in HD-DVD drive and standard hard drive would have made the 360 at least as expensive as the PS3 for its cheapest model.
Uncompressed 7.1 audio is nice, but for the 99.9% of us who don't have a speaker system that can handle it, regular Dolby 5.1 compressed audio works just fine - and it saves all of us money to boot.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
