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.

But we will see competition between developers. It is a not a closed monopoly, like we will only see games with content that Sony want. Nintendo did that a long time ago, restricting violent games on Super Nintendo. Those were times when more kids played videogames than adults. I don't remember seeing this kind of thing on PS1 or PS2 era, and i think almost every owner of one of those sytems was very, very happy. I don't like hardware competition. I want to see more software competition, it is the only way to play better games. Focus on one architecture and develop the best game you can. And we gamers won't have discussions about resolution, fps, textures and so on.
