From all that I am reading, this economy is going to get worse. I see no hope and change from Barack Obama. All I see is a selfish struggle to "get mine" and fuck you if you cannot get yours. It is an all or nothing, tribalistic environment now. |
I greatly enjoyed your post and wanted to note that I'm glad someone else finally sees that Obama has done nothing to improve things. He's done a masterful job of changing nothing, maintaining the status quo, and continuing Bush's worst policies--while adding covert assassination to the list of things America now does that the rest of the world can hold against us (don't get me wrong, it's good we got bin Laden, but it should've been to capture not to kill, and Obama ordered an assassination, not a capture). Amazingly, we're still in Iraq and Afghanistan despite his promise we'd be out of the Middle East within 18 months of him being elected.
I've also read that we have yet to see the bottom of our economic crash--the real crash is looming--and the way the government taxes and squanders money willy-nilly is what's going to cause it--when the government bottoms-out the dollar and balks on all it debts. And he's still trying to create a government healthcare plan. The last place I want my healthcare coming from is government. That's all we need--a DMV version of a hospital.

I also agree with you completely on your points that financial considerations are of utmost importance to whether a game console is successful now or not, and Nintendo seems intent on pricing themselves out of their current Number One position. If they're not going to make their machines affordable to produce, then they may need to adopt Sony and Microsoft's standards of selling the machines for a loss to make money on the software licensing.
