Yeah, no. Screw dat. Really, just get rid of that stupid parity clause. It only hurts customers and doesn't help them in any way.

Especially with the PS4 now being stronger, easier to develop for and more indie friendly, stuff like that could seriously hutt the Xbox brand in the long run. So please wake up, Microsoft.

Yet, according to some of its fans it has no impact on the consumer....

I know I'm not the guy your speaking of (in fact, I know exactly who he is) but I just wanted to chime in. I like Microsoft's last two consoles but this parity thing is some bullshit! I'll defend some of Microsoft's policies but this one I don't think benefits anybody.

That kind of annoys me. It's not just a lie, it's a totally obvious lie. Keeping games off the platform is NOT in the best interest of your consumers. This is about money, pure and simple.

More specifically, it's about bullying smaller developers with limited resources into prioritizing Xbox. Which I'm sure worked when XBLA was the place to be and PSN was a sad sack copycat, but not so much anymore.

I was wondering why Sam and Max Season 3 was on PS3 and not Xbox 360. Me and my daughter loved that series (that's where my 360 avatar came from--beating Season One) and kept waiting for the 360 version. It never happened. Guess I should have gotten the PS3 version instead of trying to keep them all on one console.

Or get it on PC, not like it requires much to run it.

It's worth it, best season.

'As a consequence those that start on another platform may be locked out permanently.'

If I am understanding that correctly, that is just a total loss for Xbox gamers.
