@mugen, pezus. You guys make good points.
But when I pause and look at the importance of exclusives versus the appeal of the most graphically dominant console, it paints another picture (look at the PS1!).
So as much as I'm feeling convinced by you guys, as much as it seems to disregard the trends of vg history. But I guess the difference is that MicroSony present a dual-force for Nintendo to recon with in the later gens, since multi-platform support has become the norm, is it a new playing field? The Wii says so. That despite being #1, it was two-handed by its competitors, and it worked for them.
@pezus. I realize that gears was announced in advance, but it was released in year 2. Maybe you mean to say what kitler and muge are saying, that it's better to announce to ensure support than to stay quiet and pack a punch.
