Hey fanboys. Remember that your a gamer first and foremost. Bill Gates is not a game designer, he is an operating system designer. The industry benefits from the increased revenue generated from the console market, but Bill Gates does not. He's not one of the richest men in the world for nothing.

Until the industry crashes. Do you remember when all games where on computers? Bill Gates does.

Lol, people have been predicting an industry crash for 2 and a half decades, based mostly on the last time the industry crashed (and it was so vastly different it shouldn't even be considered the same industry as it is today.)

Not going to happen.

The difference this time is that Bill Gates is TRYING to make it happen.

I hope it doesn't happen. :/

The 360 has by far the largest number of AAA's and AA's among the three consoles, the Wii has the least.

For anyone that loves traditional gaming the 360 has been a godsend, technical complaints about the system aside.

If anything, the Wii is changing the amount of "great" grade A titles out there. For the first time EVER, the console with the highest sales (by far) has the least AAA's and AA's, and that sure as Hell doesn't look to be changing anytime soon. THey are now concentrating on funneling profits into making games for people who didn't play games prior to this generation.

Ugh, makes me wish I could rewind time back a generation or two.

There will be no console AAA's if the industry crashes. Which is what Bill Gates wants. So videogame designers have to use the PC as the main platform.

Lol, look it's a guy that does not remember that Street fighter on Snes was $70 and Donkey Kong on N64 was $80.

I love the MS is teh Debbil threads though so please carry on.

But that was from gamers pockets. Microsoft is paying millions that we cannot afford without Microsoft.

Bill Gates feels he can get away with inflation tactics because if he forces a crash then games will end up on the PC and he will dominate the entire gaming industry on Windows 13, only twenty years after the crash of 83, and thirty years after the birth of gaming in 73.

Microsoft hurt the industry by resorting to inflation tactics that push up the cost of game development by paying game designs unsustainable quantities of money in order to compete with Sony and Nintendo. Thankfully Nintendo is fighting Microsoft's inflation tactic.

No, I was just incredibly embarrassed. I'm the kind of person who squirms if I see someone embarrassing themselves.BatmanBegins24

That's a negative trait.

Example: Nintendo reached the casual press (new york times) and in general reached further marketing press than Sony or Microsoft. Nintendo had a winning strategy for E3 and it worked. Your just easily influenced by the judgement of your peers if that made you squirm.

I'm not even sure about what you do i the game...Dnadolny
