Really Microsoft, Just Make Yourself A Monopoly And Get Over It That Way You Don't Have To Steel.

[Da_Schwartz]

That seems only fair as Sony "stole" the metal gear and final fantasy franchises from Nintendo.

Damn you !!! I was hoping nobody else caught that so i could post it >.<

Ok, I don't know about you, but Microsoft must have some really deep pockets or their steeling money from Bill Gate's wallet. They have now bought out the MGS franchise doing the same as last year when they bought the FF franchise.

Now I have nothing wrong with any exclusives and acually I havent played any either of these games so none of my thoughts are biased.

But now microsoft is taking away any exclusives from the PS3 just to say they have them. I really hope that Microsoft isn't going to make the MGS or FF franchises exclusives for the Xbox 360 because that would alienate any PS3 gamers that have ever thought of playing those games.

My point is that Microsoft must be secreatly deaparete to have to steel Sony's thunder every E3.

What I think companies should do is make a single console that can work with all PS3 games, all 360 games and all Nintendo games all connected to the same server so that gamers can all play together. Or just make a completly new console that has games worked on by all of the big 3 so that there isn't going to be this ruthless fight to the death to see who has the most exclusives. This would also make it much easier for developers to make their games because what ever make only has to be configured for 1 console, not 2 or three.

(sorry about any grammer and/or spelling mistakes for I wrote this as I was about to go to bed)

UPDATE: if anyone is to have many exclusives it should be Sony becase you can acually play the game on the console befor it getts the RROD and if it does get a system failure then the customer suppor is much better.

UPDATE,UPDATE: The single console concept would not end competition, people are still going to make a competition on which game is best and will try to top them, it would just end the ruthlesness.

QQ more nubby. You're just upset that you didn't purchase a sexbox 360 (no that's not a typo). Also, do you really think Microsoft bought out MGS and FF just to say they could have them? More like for a profit.

Actually, Microsoft had a Monopoly in the computer industry for years. Guess what happened? They got sued to hell and back, and the monopoly was broken. I do get what your saying though, however, competition is needed in the industry, or else, at least in mu opinion, stagnantion will occur in such a large way that the games industry will be nigh unrecoverable.

I apologize for the rude tone of the post, as it was not my intent.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

You spelled "steal" wrong throughout that incoherent rant of yours. And boo hoo if exclusives are being bought out, it breeds competition. Competition is good. And as a 360 owner, I am stating I have no interest in either of these "rightful PS3 Exclusives" You can keep em. In fact, take the Halo series while you're at it.

Games are not the only thing they are taking and/or copying. What about their motion sensing gameplay? Looks lke Sony isnt the only one feeling microsofts wraith.

 

[Yoshi_egg80]

And where's the competition in that?
Without competition, we won't have innovation.
Without innovation, we'd be stuck with 80's graphics.

And we'd get crappy wavy joysticks that are proclaimed revolutionary then have nothing but shovel ware and gimmicky use of the thing at best...............................
OH WAIT

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Because you're doing so at the direct sacrifice of quality?

So there are no multi-console releases that were good in your opinion?

Exactly.

Microsoft aren't jerks for buying out Sony franchises and making them 360 exclusives.
That's just good business.

 

[hypothetical fact]

Fuck no. Metal Gear was never a part of Nintendo's lineup. The NES port was garbage.

Either way Metal Gear and FF are sluts for console companies.

 

[GonzoGamer]

I mentioned this on another thread but I think rather than making one console (a really bad idea) they should allow other electronics manufacturers produce game machines that play their games. I didn't buy a 360 because of the rrod but I would consider a 360 game playing console by a Panasonic or a Samsung... if it didn't also have a chronic hardware defect.

If there was only one console and that had a chronic problem, I would go berserk.

 

[Blame]

Damn Microsoft and them wanting to make money! Bill Gates, What happened to the American Dream!

Moot Point. Capitalism = Good. It's in the best interests of the economy for there not to be a Monopoly. You bet your sizable Military budget that your boys at the White House wouldn't let Microsoft gain monopoly.

Because then you might as well be Communists.

i tried very hard to believe that u were not a biased fanboi, but after reading your update, i was convinced otherwise =D

No Kojima ones, no.[/quote]
....

You got me there.

 

[AtticusSP]

Maybe this will be a good thing.
Maybe someone over at Microsoft will give Kojima that bash to the head he so needs since Sony wont do it.
That would be great, someone really needs to get that guy some editors, or hit him with something and hope it knocks whatever it is back into place.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

i feel like i've already had this entire discussion with myself.

probably because i did... when i was pulled out of slumber this afternoon only to hear idiot microsoft CEO's announce that they'd stolen MGS.

surprise.

 

[Another]

I strongly doubt that Microsoft had to pay out to Square or Kojima.

Games are getting more expensive to develop. The best way to get a return on a game is to expose it to as many players as possible.

Particularly in FFXIII's case. Cant imagine how much that thing cost, so why not sell as many units as possible?

And a single system for all games would be an awful idea. No competition means no one tries to advance themselves because buyers will have no choice. It would just stagnant the gaming industry.
