Who needs to look for the center of the universe when it makes great threads like these?

Observing the end results of a process does not make one a genius; anybody can spot a simple trend. Finding the origins of the end results, on the other hand, gives one a reasonable claim to the title.

Instead of seeing that console makers can never maintain market dominance for more than two generations, did you consider asking why it is that way? It's rather silly to take for granted that it will always be that way, because really, there's no reasoning behind saying "console makers can only dominate for 2 generations" beyond surface-level evidence. It is not a means, in other words, it is an end.

So why did Atari get the market in the first place? How did Nintendo capture it? How did Sony take it? How did Nintendo re-claim it? Let's see if you can answer those questions beyond the "two generations max" explanation. I already have my own theories, but I'm curious to see your take.

Awesome.

(BTW, Montana, sorry)

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Aren't chu a bit old to gloat about your "predictions" on a video game forum? Without any proof that you actually did predicted the successful future of Nintendo 5 and a half years ago. I want sources. NOA.
