Console.... industry..... dying.....
This model does not work, wake up people!!


Lol, industry dying because it goes back to PS2 era ?

 

You seem to be obsessed with the PS2 era. 

With this gen prices, something like the PS2 era will destroy the videogame industry. Or do you seriously believe that third parties can survive with only one succesfull console?


one console with a large active userbase would be better than 3 consoles with a small active userbase each.  ports, unnessisary code branches, and the increased QA time associated with that will be eliminated once wiiU and xbone support are completely dropped increasing profitability by lowering development costs.  so as long as ps4's active user base > ps3 + 360 + wii's active userbase things will be coming up roses for third parties.

Hahaha. So you are saying monopoly is good for the industry?
Let me wake you up: Monopoly is the worst thing that could ever happen to ANY industry, because it´s the consumer who looses.

Not every consumer is a nintendo fan :p

 

The consumer wins at the contrary, because he doesnt have to own 3 consoles to get most of the games and better optimised games,  just one main console is enough, and if he wants 3 consoles, he'll get more exclusives because microsoft will have to make their own exclusives instead of buying them, win win situation for gamers.

It's better for the industry, the cost of developing 3-4 versions of a game on different hardwares ( thanks esram and less powerful console) )is too high.


How old are you?
