I'll be honest, Xbox live.
And no i'm not a ps3 fag, i own an Xbox and am on Xbox live and i don't exactly dislike the store but the people on Xbox live.... actually i've heard PSN is no better but i only use that on the PS store so... yeah.

"The need to for games to turn a profit NOW!" There are far too many games out there that could have been twice as good had their publishers been patient enough to give the developers another six months.
OT:
The need for games to reach as wide an audience as possible.
Killstreaks that unbalance the game further
Grenade spam
Awful movie tie-ins, aka £££££!!!!!!!
Predictable cliches, betrayals, villains and plot-twists
Excessive scripting
America having to be the good guys/allies of the good guys in every game (could they not sit it out for just once?)
Crappy internet connections that ruin multiplayer for more rural people (like myself)
User-throttling DRM
Shallow characters, who are sometimes deliberately designed to be controversial
That's all I have
That's true, however the problem could be avoided simply by staggering your console releases. GTA3-San Andreas comes to mind as games that were ported from one console to another perfectly- specifically because time was spent to do it properly long after the original had been released.Halo Fanboy said:
games based on movies
Bad dubbing {looking at you FFX}
games/upgrades/story you can only get online (all gamers don't have internet you know)
more cutscenes than gameplay (i want to PLAY not watch a movie)

"SWITCH TO YOUR PISTOL, IT'S FASTER THAN RELOADING!"
"NAG NAG NAG NAG NAG!"
I am not a big CoD fan, especially not of the Modern Warefare subseries, but I would've really liked MW2, had it not been for Dunn yelling at me the whole time during that STUPID F****** TUTORIAL! I KNOW HOW TO PRESS RT AND LT AT THE SAME TIME!

QTEs, overly-vocal fanboys/fangirls, MMOs, RTSs, and haters. Can't we gamers all just try to get along? I've had it with ignorant people saying one console manufacturer is better than the others. And would the God of War franchise suffered without QTEs breaking up the hacking and slashing? One other thing the gaming world could do without is critics who won't shut the fuck up about their favorite franchises. And yes, I am talking about G4's Morgan Webb. We get it, princess, you love World of Warcraft, Call of Duty and Halo. Find something else to talk about.
Oh, I guess you didn't realize that I had read your post like, one hour or so before replying. The thing is that this thread has been going on for two months, and I hadn't read it until yesterday.

Okay, I'm not even going to get into the AppleMicrosoft battle. I'll let you have that one.
Right, but my point wasn't that "they make different hardware", the point was that they all own their own stuff. That's what my point was. It doesn't matter whether or not the hardware is different, it's that everyone is in control of their own hardware/software/intellectual property.
You're still taking it too literally. A channel would LIKE to have every show in the world on it, but they can't, because the people who produce the shows want to be viewed by a wider audience. You're getting so nitpicky, so particular, so "makes it sound logical" that it's actually getting really hard to argue against. You're misunderstanding the point so horribly that all I could hope to do was copy and paste my previous post all over again.
So no, it really is you who can't see it.
I never said that.
Speaking of which, I believe you talk to a bizarro, alternate reality version of me and respond to him. That would explain why you keep doing all these straw-man fallacies with all the things I say.
Including myself.
No, it wouldn't. Also, Z is the last letter of the alphabet, and I'm going to pretend you didn't know that and give you a big lecture on it.
Yeah, any business would like to eliminate their competition. But it just doesn't work like that. There'd still be a monopoly on hardware, which would be big and powerful enough to do whatever it wants. Possibly a better example than Microsoft would be Wal-Mart; they're like the console that all the products are stored in. But because they're so powerful, they can bully the products into doing stuff that they might not want to do. Don't get that confused with the product companies not being able to compete (because they still do), they just can be given a rough time by the department store. As it is, Wal-Mart is decent enough to the point I wouldn't call them evil, or even super-mean, but imagine if one store was the only one you ever bought stuff from. Then it'd be a problem.
Oh I'm pretty confident it'll keep going for the foreseeable future.
The assumption I never made.
Because I didn't.
That IS one downside to it, yeah.
Now you've dug into what I think most people think to themselves when they decide that the one-console thing is a good idea: "I'll get to play all the games that come out!" But listen, that may be annoying for you, but it really won't help the industry all that much. Maybe in a small level, for a short time, the console would see more game sales because everyone has the same console, but in the long run, the sepp--
Okay you know, I'm tired of this conversation. It doesn't really matter whether or not you think it's a good idea, of if you feel like you're right, or anything, because it won't ever happen. AND, if--as you said--it theoretically did happen, I definitely wouldn't have to argue about it; I'd only have to wait a few years and let the reality of what happens speak for itself.
