I love how these dumb fucking senators always find a scapegoat for America's problems. It's never the violence on television or the fact that it's easier for an underage kid to buy a gun than it is to buy beer, or the bloodlust portrayed in the Bible, or our heavily medicated populace. It's always video games or heavy metal music. Get a fucking clue.
Of all the reasons this seems like a silly reason to predict victory for Microsoft. Maybe they will come out on top, but I doubt it will be because of developer tools. Many developers have already come out in support of Sony's hardware and said how they are happy with the direction it has gone in and how much easier it will be to develop for the PS4 versus the PS3. Sony has gone to great lengths to make things easier for developers.
The funny thing is, if anything is accelerating the decline of console gaming, it's companies like EA. And I'm not even referring to the fact that companies like EA and Activision are destroying classic franchises like Sim City or pumping out CoD titles year after year. Moreso the continual abuse they inflict upon consumers by trying to squeeze every penny from them. Eventually people will get fed up and move to other platforms if the trend continues.
Quality has nothing to do with it. They keep making these games because they sell. Quite frankly, the first game sucked and all the successive games have sucked. I don't know who actually buys this shit, but apparently people do so they keep making them.
