I don't know. I can't follow the logic of your argument. You keep sticking in strange pieces of information that don't seem to apply. For instance your comment about people running out of money because there were too many games that they wanted. That doesn't sound like it's really a bad situation for a gamer. It would seem worse to have enough money to buy games but have no games that you wanted to buy. You follow up the "saturation" comment with something about declining sales in the music and movie industry. I don't think the decline was preceded by a glut of great artistic masterpieces. I'm not sure what type of speculation you were making there. On to PC's, you comment that they are becoming more accessible. That's a good thing, right? I'm not sure how that figures into your OP. |
Look up the Videogame Crash of 1983. that should make more sense of why these things are not necessarily a good thing. On the music and movie industry, it isnt necessarily a glut of that. Did i not make a comment earlier about the industry moving towards less risks, less innovation and more "sure fire" gains? Much like the music and movie industry. Maybe im just tired, but i feel like im repeating myself a lot in this thread. PCs becoming more accessible is a good thing for PC gaming. I was answering your question how it could be bad for consoles. |
I'm very familiar with the video game crash of 1983. How does that fit into your thesis? After that crash console gaming reinvented itself and came back stronger than ever. I don't see how the movie industry is in decline either unless you're talking about the artistic merits of the movies made in the 1940's compared to the movies made in the 1990's. |
??? am i the only one that reads business news? I thought this was fairly well known knowledge around that the industries are on a decline. What is meant by on a decline is that these industries are no longer seeing much in the way of growth, and in the case of the Music industry, is actually losing sales or the amount of money they make each year. Ever wonder why movie tickets are so damn high and always keep going up? its not just cuz of inflation. DVD sales are also starting to slow in the past few years, hence the push for Blu Ray and High Def; its an attempt to start making growth in sales again.
