Every day, we hear news about another studio going out of business because they failed to turn over a good profit. Development costs have been soaring recently and it is the #1 problem in the gaming industry. Remember how Square Enix can't recoup the costs for tomb raider even after 3+ million sales?
Whenever I finish playing a good game, I'm like, "Man, I can't wait for a sequel". Problem is, there might not be a sequel if the studio that made the game is at financial risk. Do you people have any idea how torturous wanting a sequel but knowing it will never come out is? By avoiding games made from financially volatile studios, I AVOID that risk.
This is why I am going with the next xbox. I know microsoft is going to go back with the same old Halo, Forza and Gears pattern after the first year, but I go to bed knowing that a sequel will always be made for those games. If I played on the playstation, I will never get to experience Uncharted 50. I don't care that uncharted 1 - 49 are better than Microsoft's exclusive lineup. By not making a sequel, you're pissing me off.

Not sure I want 49 uncharted, thank god for last of us. But I agree with you somewhat. People are crying about how MS is bad for the industry. WE are not the industry, we are consumers. By trying to limit used games, which devs don't make a dime off of, they are in fact trying to help the industry. Tomb Raider was great, and square cant make what they spent back? That's absurd. and harmful for the industry. Now devs can lower budgets, but the games will suffer. And there is no way this consumer base that always wants more, and better tech will be willing to take a step back. Look at the WiiU hate. Ninty has a good strategy. By being behind tech wise they offer s product that is affordable to make and buy. But its hated because its not cutting edge.The industry is not my wallet.Cows do not care about the industry. SONY fanboys only care about getting the highest quality, even if that means destroying everything around them. It's a sickening disease that needs to be dealt with. The xbox is the cure and Microsoft is its creator.
Fakeboy confirmed. :lol:
