| luinil said: I believe what you are arguing for is a one console market. At least that is what I got from the OP. I am not in favor of that type of market. Therefore exclusives are necessary and a good thing for the market and the consumer. If they don't want to play Wii sports they won't buy a Wii. If they do, then they must buy a Wii. Sorry, but that is how it works. There is nothing wrong with that, it is simply how any market will work. |
No, I'm not arguing for one console. It's hard with a short title to be explicit but I'm more thinking about paid for exclusives or titles which could be on multiple platforms with no downsides but aren't (i.e. not something like Wii Sports). Take LO for 360 (or Haze for PS3) - either could clearly work on the other platform. Having to pay the money for each console sure doesn't favour me as a consumer.
This gen I guess its more about PS3/360 exclusives. To date I haven't seen anything on either console the other couldn't do, so whether its paid for or whatever those exclusives limit me as an end consumer.
BTW - never accept a 'that's just how things are' situation. Everything can change and should if it needs to.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
