This so isn't the case, in any market you need to have competition, without it whatever company is left over will stagnate and do nothing to impress their fans, they dont need to if the fans don't have an alternate option to choose from. I absolutely believe that if it wasn't for the imcoming PSP back when the GBA was just hitting it's stride we would only be looking at the middle of the DS's lifespan around now. One damn annoying thing about having both systems tho is the incoming GTA ... I can't preorder it because I know as soon as I do there will be news that one version of it is far superior to the other and regardless of being a fan of MS or Sony I wanna play the best version of GTA5 that's around.... I'll prolly end up with both just to be sure heh. I know you could now say that both E3s were kinda missing stuff btw, since outside of the crazy indie turn out the ps4 had there wasn't that many games but I really do feel if it wasn't for Tretton coming out and basically saying that ps4 supported gamers owning their own games there wouldn't have been any 180s on the DRM policies of the X1 and for that, as a game collector I'm eternally greatful to Sony. Edit - Should be said that I have all of the games I've ever owned in my life... I still have my 2600 with it's games sat next to my 42" tv :D blocks so big they'll cut you! but still I love collecting them almost more than I do playing them! scary thought. |
The more console makers in the market the better imo. If the market could still support it, I would even like to see Sega still in the race (never a Sega fan, but they brought out the best in Nintendo back in the day).
I'm getting GTA V on 360. I am sure the PS3 version will be just as good. The differences between 360 and PS3 versions have always been minor. The only exception being Skyrim ... was downright unplayable on PS3 from what I played of it.
I will always be grateful for Sony sticking with used games, but I think people need a reality check on their E3 ... they did almost nothing. Hardly any games announced (aside from indie stuff ... some of which will be on xbox one), PS Plus is now a mandatory service for multiplayer, and Vita was left dead in the water (first party support will be dropped at this rate). Aside from Killzone and Infamous SS, where is the support? Where is a teaser for a new Uncharted or God of War ect. It is only because the Microsoft E3 was so terrible that Sony got a free pass this year (I give credit to Microsoft though for at least taking a risk... a costly choice, but still).
I almost never sell my games too. Huge collector of all systems. Am trying to find more sealed games now though ... something really cool about owning old games that have never been opened.
