Its sad so many of you responded to my post by thinking I don't want the industry to move forward, how sad.
I want the industry to move forward too, but there is a difference between moving forward as part of a progression and moving forward inspite of current logistical and economical limitations. These graphics and console specs will be cheap and affordable in a couple years, why you couldn't have waited till then for the industry to move forward without experiencing such a worrisome forced growth spurt is beyond me.
Just because an industry is pressured to move forward does not mean it needs to move forward nor that it was meant to move forward in that way at that time. You people have gotten in the bad habbit of assuming, "because Sony and MS did what they did, then that obviously means that this had to be the real next step forward or why else would they have done it." Pay no mind to the fact that their consoles this generation were twice the price of last generation's consoles". Pay no mind to the fact that both were led down this path by their own self chosen technological arms race of power and over-engineering in console gaming the likes of which such a jump has never been seen between two generations before.
Pay no mind to the fact that the gaming industry hasn't progressed as a result of the 360 or PS3, but rather been forced to keep pace. There is a difference.
