"Because of this, it often suprises me that Nintendo fans enjoy seeing the PS360 consoles fall; consoles which are entirely tailored and aimed at the hardcore gaming audience." - Taken from OP. I'm far too lazy to quote.
Let's take a look at some sub aims here:
Microsoft wanted into the living room to obtain a spot in that marketplace, as an entertainment controller. Gaming just happened to be that trojan horse, and the results have been underwhelming. I call a 6 billion dollar loss underwhelming, others would use the phrase catastrophic, but one of their sub goals, digital TV distribution, seems to be kicking in right about now. Maybe that will help. That's a huge part of their gamble.
Sony wanted to push Blu-Ray like the fucking moon. Not just like the moon, but the fucking moon, the one that's a nonstop orgy. It's beat HD-DVD, let's hope that it doesn't lose any momentum.
Nintendo wanted innovations in gaming and an expansion of who games and what that means. No DVD, no digital distribution. Of course, let's not bullshit anyone. Weather channel, TV channel, data collection? They wanted the market info, and they are PAINFULLY getting it with 0 effort. The Japanese TV guide for example is moderately sickening to me. The other side of this is of course the other two track this as best they can as well, but that's no excuse.
So, wait, which company was the one pushing for gaming? I'm completely fucking confused here. Sony and Microsoft definately have brought value, but to insinuate that they are specifically tailored at no one but the gaming audience is actually retarded, if you're paying attention. Only Nintendo aimed at creating more gamers, but have fallen to a nice pile of bullshit.
Maybe I just want games without the bullshit. Maybe thats why I want some aspects to fail. This has not been a generation for the non bullshit gamer.
See Ya George.
