With all these console fanboys fighting it out regarding the best console, me as a PC-only gamer is sitting back and enjoying the fun! I agree lots of great games never arrive on the PC, but who cares? I still have a lot of options to choose from! Nintendo 64 was the last console I owned. When PCs became mainstream, I have always played games on the PC, and didn't even consider going back to consoles. So even though I'm missing out on some great console exclusives, I have no regrets. If its a game I absolutely MUST play, then I just buy the game and play it at a buddy's place, because most of my friends are console-only gamers.
So what if this guy says the game is not good? Come on, this is a game based on DISNEY characters! And everything related to Disney (games, cartoons, movies and even apparel), has that 'special' Disney magic! This fact itself is enough to convince me to buy the game! I'll be going for the PC version though, because I don't own a console.
The game was NOT a failure at all. Square Enix had expected unrealistically high sales, and it was quite obvious these kinds of expectation cannot be met, unless of course they're over-rated titles such as Call of Duty 25 or Assassin's Creed 17 (man, I so hate those repetitive franchises). And to be frank, Square Enix were a bit unlucky. Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider were terrific games, and although Hitman Absolution wasn't all that great, it was MUCH better than most other AAA titles. I guess it just comes down Square Enix's image with gamers. People aren't gonna buy games from Square Enix unless they belong to the Final Fantasy franchise.
95% don't pirate? What a joke! And, chipping a console is not a big deal. Consoles are quite cheap, so people would just buy TWO consoles, chip one of them for playing pirated games, and keep the other one intact for playing legit and multi-player games. Its as simple as that, really.
Now, please don't talk as if console gamers are saints. If you just browse through popular torrent sites, you'll come across LOADS of pirated console games.
