Console Wars abhor a tie

I don't think it's an actual monopoly in the truest sense of the word. It just seems that way because of the nature of the industry. Any company with the resource to compete is free to introduce a new console every time a new generation begins. Both Sony and Microsoft are fine examples of this. Introducing one during the course of the reign of the top console is almost always destined to fail, however.

If Nintendo was the only people who made games in the world. I bet their games would suck. But their not, and they are one of best selling publishers in the world. Windows has HORRIBLE support, and runs like crap. Now let me ask you this. Can you show me a game that looks HALF as good as Crysis... on say... linux? mac? Unix? Nope. Cant say that I have. That's because 99% of games, and 99.9% of retail games are created for windows... becuase it has a 80%+ market share. That makes me. The owner of Windows. Not have to have 5 OSes to play my games. I love that. That's why I use windows and not linux. Monopoly = bad Stuff that runs off monopoly = better than stuff that runs on 50 things. To name a few multiplatform games I care about. Mercenaries2, RE5, Possibly Transformers, and a few others. (I say possibly transformers, is, I hope it is a good game. And I hope it would be fun. I love transformers, and I am dreaming. I'm sure it's gonna suck... bad)
