Well I decided to stop beating myself over the head with a stick (the greatest form of fun because nothing new has come out since n64) and deiced to go over to my friends houses, to try some of these things out. upon arriving at my friend with the ps3 there was a brown out (almost lost power) and his PS3 turned into a shiny brick. so we decided to go over to my other friends house to play his 360, witch had plenty of the same game just with different skins on top of it, and after beating the halo series, (which took about 8 hours) we decided to stop and play his wii, which after 30 minutes of frantically waving a wiimote around, beating ourselves over the head with said wiimote, we said this is painful because none of us have the wing span of a six year old midget, and our heads began to hurt from the overly bright primary colours, and stopped and went outside! remember there, where you have to go when bus is late! or your car doesn't start! We had fun outside with paintball guns and the like, so the next game console already exists, you just need to open your door, and go outside! be sure you don't melt from only receiving light from tv's and computers.

Delicious. My country has a very hard time with this one.

Yeah, but maybe next time you should try a charisma roll before interacting with NPCs, or maybe you should move out of your parents basement, get a job, and a life! nice reply though.

...Honda is busy making a shit ton of money on Hybrid cars ...

Actually, no, they don't. They lose thousands because to sell a hybrid at a profit means selling one very expensive car. So how do they do it? By cranking out more three-row, fuel-guzzling Pilots that will never carry eight passengers and rarely leave suburbia.

But I digress, of course.

However, maybe the gaming industry could take a note from the automotive industry, specifically, share the bulk of the expensive bits and hope no one looks too closely to notice. If the PS4 and the XBox 720 shared all the same internals, differing only in case design and controllers... there would still be fanboys and flame wars, but developers would have a hell of an easier time with only one basic powerhouse system to design games for. That's assuming that Nintendo doesn't decide to put raw processing horsepower in the Wii II (I wanted to put four "I"s in a row... or is that five now?), but with the "relatively cheap, gimmicky toy" strategy working so ridiculously well, somehow I don't see a beefy system coming from the big N any time soon.

This man is sensible. He sees things as they should be.

If you ask me, consoles need to go down the DVD player route- lots of companies making machines that are more or less the same. The fact that nearly all titles released are multi-platform these days just highlights how silly the idea of a 'console war' is. If all consoles were built around the same blueprint, developers would have a far easier time programming their games which would be multi-platform in any case.

Crunchy English:
Umm sure, then they can just sell exclusivity rights of every genre to EA and be done with it. Then good gaming as we know it can lie down peacefully and die.

Console wars generate healthy competition. Without it, there's no reason to focus on quality.

Of course there would be. You're forgetting where the competition really lies. It's not between Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, no matter what IGN and Gamespot may say. It's between the game developers. They're constantly trying to outdo each other in terms of creating the most creative, imaginative, and of course most profitable game out there. Whichever box they're on has little to do with that fact, as most titles are multi-plat anyways. It's the developers, not the consoles, that dictate the quality of games.

Honestly, you don't see Samsung and Panasonic DVD owners causing anywhere near the same amount of shit you console guys do. Consoles serve exactly the same purpose as DVD players. They're simply the devices the developers use to show you what they've created. They are not awe-inspiring wonders of the technological age. A console without any games, no matter what extra doodads they've thrown in, is fundamentally useless.

I thought of the playbox but then who are Sony/ Microsoft gonna verse.
I don't Think nintendo Could Even be good enough to win against both of them.

What you gotta roll on your charisma? Well that makes a bit more sense. See that is another complaint. The instruction manual sux.

Well maybe if you spent less time learning Klingon and more time speaking English you would get it!
