I think its going to be even worse next gen.
The PS3 has alot of exclusives + all the multiplats games.
Nintendo also has alot of exclusives but has always lacked good 3rd party support. 90% of Wii games are shovelware, the other 10% are good but never sell enough to come back for a 2nd time.
The 360 is ending this gen with the best shovelware around with the Kinect. The exclusives we want to play on the 360 have dried up to 1-2 games a year.
'First let me say, I hate the rumor mill. Seriously. People get all wound up and excited over news that isn’t even official yet and typically when things are “reported” this far in advance, from unofficial “secret” sources they’re inevitably wrong.'
And yet you made a lengthy article about it.
@Pintheshadows If all that played out, I still cant see developers doing that. If we were talking like the PS2 days where they had like 80% of the market then developers would definitely get the most out of the system. But with more evenly share there is no point.
Thats what happened to me this gen. I couldnt wait any longer for the PS3. So I ended up buying a 360. And over the years ive become a PC and PS3 only gamer (360 RROD).
For next gen though im just going to be getting the PS4. the WiiU is cool but its just going to be like every Nintendo console. A Nintendo franchise console. I have no interest in getting the next xbox but I like follow the rumors of both consoles.
And the 360 was rushed to market, making it seem like it took even longer for the PS3 to come out.
Sony seems to be talking about the PS4 very freely over the last few months. While we havent heard a single word from MS.
@Pintheshadows Thats the worst thing Sony could do. Developers would make a PS4 port but they wouldnt put in the extra work/money to get the extra power out of it. So you would end up with the PS4 version having pretty much the same graphics as the 720. And Sony would of lost 1-2 years on the 720.
The next gen consoles from MS and Sony wont go any higher then $400. $400 is alot of money for the average gamer to go buy a new console.
The world we live in now is alot different to 2005/6.
Epic was the reason MS put 512mb RAM and not 256mb in the 360. They showed MS what Gears would look like on 256mb and then showed how much better it would be with 512mb.
The thing i love most about the Vita is that it truly is a PS3 in your hands.
With the PSP it was meant to be a portable PS2 but PSP games ended up being dummed down PS2 experiences. The only game on the PSP that i really felt like i was playing a PS2 game was the 2 God of War games.
But from the launch lineup of Vita games they all are real full blown PS3 level experiences.
Sony would of made a killing, if they made a real MotorStorm game for the Vita launch. Imagen how amazing it would be.
But this version just looks boring.
200 games in development and not 1 I want to play on the 3DS. The 3DS is a terrible piece of hardware.
The 3DS didnt sell at that price because Nintendo thought, cause it has the DS brand name. They could sell it at a high price and people would just buy it. But people saw that the 3DS was way overpriced.
You forgot a few
Assassins creed
ZoE HD
MGS HD
Bioshock
Fifa
Ninja gaiden
Rayman
+ more
These are BIG IPs
15m head start, why does that even matter. This is not like the PS3 vs 360 where they can both play the same games. But cause of the 10m head start the 360 had, the PS3 whole generation took a big hit.
A Vita game wouldnt beable to run on a 3DS. But a 3DS can easily be put on the Vita.
Lens of Truth should add PC to the mix.
The only way that will happen is if the controller holds the internals like the Razer Fiona prototype. Which Razer said will be around $1000.
Keep dreaming.

I have a iPad 2 and iPhone 4s, with a ton of games. I get bored of 95% of iOS games within a hour of play. iOS games dont have any longevity. Out of the launch and launch window for the Vita. I want a least 15 games, granted i wont beable to get all these games day one.
My iOS game library over the years has gone from trying to be consoles like games(3D,Virtual sticks). To more 2D puzzle, runners and tilt games.
