MS leaving the console race would be good for gamers.

I would like to laugh, but that is a very childish response.

 

So I'll just say that I disagree.

So you beleive that studios spending more money needlessly on games and putting un-nessery risks on new IP's is good for the industry.

Please explain.

If you think a monopoly drives up creativitiness and makes people being more risky...

 

...I'm afraid you're wrong.

Your forgetting about Nintendo, Sony would not have a monoply.

You said it yourself that Nintendo hasn't had a presence since the N64.

Glad you noticed!

But really, I don't see how having one console affects the studios that make the games.  Remember the PS2 era?  The shear amoutn of greatness that came out of that domination shows that Sony beinging complete control (for the second gen in a row at that point) didn't make a studios that are nothing to do with Sony put out bad PS2 games.

Creative freedom comes from having platform freedom.  Puting restrictions on studios and makiong games multiplat, reduces graphics to the lowest quality so it suits the lower powered machine.

Steam has pretty much the PC digital market to itself, see how bad that's got. No?  That because people can do more because they know all the customers are in one place.
