Enough of this nonsense.

What's with paying companies to exclude players from enjoying DLC?

What's with Metal Gear Solid not being multiplat?


I say Microsoft and Sony should just merge now and make the ultimate system. A system that could stand against Nintendo.

As much most of us as gamers would love, it's just an improbable possibility. Plus it would deny SW to exist any longer

blame it on consoles. if they didn't exist then where would developers all go to? THe PC! and if you are developing for the PC you don't have to pay MS a cent! because the PC is a free platform.

That would be pretty desperate and pathetic imo. You don't join at the hips with an enemy. Where would be the pride in that?

Sony and Microsoft together, thats the worst thing that could happen to consumers, they would end the competition and we will have no advantage. Monopoly is always a bad thing...

Nah, there'd still be arguments about whether the Wii2 or Wii3 was better than the Microsoft X-Station.

Except all the games are being developed for Windows. I'll be happy when there is more than one viable option for an operating system, but then we might run into the same situation we have with consoles.

They're not "Enemies", just competitors. I see advertisements all the time advertising Windows on a Sony Laptop. I'm sure they'd be fine together.

They just made minor cuts, not massive changes. They would have to shrink substantially.

agreed, but imagine if it did happen, the best of both worlds, great exclusives and just great everything. but some would also argue that, its not good for competition, companies wouldnt try as hard to make great exclusives etc. but i would rather see them merge.

I am talking about them closing entire divisions and selling their movie and music studios, not ceasing manufacturing alarm clocks.

this would be the BIGGEST mistake in the history of economics.

sony+microsoft merge = leads to poor competition = consumers will get screwed over,
like microsoft screwing consumers with Windows. eg, windows vista's high price and sloppy performance.
hopefully windows 7 would be more likeable

It's the same thing. Anyone competing for something that you want is your enemy.

There's still Nintendo and the PC. That's an oligopoly, not a monopoly.

microsoft owns the PC. any games that comes out on pc, microsoft gets revenue for it.
in the end sony and mikysoft would still have a monopoly in the home console market.

talk about nintendo... they're not even competitors.
in this generation(and possibly in future gens) the true competition is between sony and miky.

Are they going to remake MGS2&3 for Wii?

They did Twin Snakes on GC and I think it'd be cool to play the second and third ones with upgraded gfx (obviously not MGS4 caliber) and added Wii controls. I want to play the second and third one, but my PS3 doesn't have BC. :(
