From that statement I don't think they ever did have your money.
The current technology is either on par or better than the Vita which is the most powerful dedicated mobile device.
You really only need buttons for games such as FPS or that other than that other genre of games can touch screen and as it goes to show mobile gaming is the fastest growing market of gaming besides F2P and social.
$30 for an addictive game that you play countless and countless hours is fine. I call people who play $60 and over priced DLC stupid...
Hardcore consumers are looking for something new while the casual consumer could possibly care less about something that doesn't have a brand name.
Brands are the strongest thing that someone can sell.
If there are enough hardcore fans to drive the new IP's than they will sell if not they won't this late in the generation.
Agreed to an extent. I think that he should be forced out and at least fired and if it is good to bring him back or it is time to bring him back than yo do that.
Do you really think Sony even has the ability to buy Nintendo?
Windows O/S has 90% of the market while Google has a lonely Chrome OS which is totally cloud based and isn't viable.
Non of what you just said drives innovation. What you just said is we should lower competition and thus "real" innovation can happen. I hope you were joking or you are misinformed.
Onlive didn't have MS support to begin with and no Nintendo will not buy.
1. Smart pricing- I have confidence that they will.
2. Revamped XMB- I think this is a must. Modern UI and you can keep the XMB because it is fast but make it more eye appealing.
3. Innovative console design- How does one have an "innovative console design"? It's gonna be bulky in the beginning and slimmer later.
4. Near and XGC- Well near would be stupid for a home console but XGC is a feature I'm sure they will have.
False. The economy virtually doesn't affect technology or the gaming business.
Companies are failing because they can't draw consumers to buy their games not that people can't.
Long running successful games that do not perform anymore shouldn't be kept running.
Its more of games are costing more to make then the economy is taking a toll yet next generation should help offset that with more efficient engines such as Unreal 4.
Sounds rather conspiracy theory for my taste.

You only look at exponential in one aspect of the phone though. You have to look at the number of transistors to accurately explain it. So therefor it exponential mobile is outpacing Moore's Law.
A piss poor processor? Quad Core A15 with the Quad core or Octo-cre Mali GPU that is all due early 2013 will push the boundaries and likely reach 360 level. 2GB Ra is starting to reach into the market on these phones and the screens are HD.
You aren't understanding that the mobile sector is moving at exponential levels.
That pyramid really only applies to TV stations and the food business not so much in the technology business as all of them are either based in separate countries or a vast competitors yet I understand what you are saying.
That's a rather strange way of looking at it. Why are people a fan of anything? Because people invested time and effort into a platform.
I think saying MS was trying to monopolize the market is a little stretch I would say more like dominate it, and competition doesn't necessarily breed innovation look at the Wireless sector of ATT,Verizon,Sprint,T-Mobile still raping people even though there are four of them.
Kids gaming is mobile. They have ease of use and they have a easier time with it and they can start at such a young age. Also it is safe of rude ignorant people and mature content which makes it parent friendly.
You have no idea what you are saying though. I am an Economist I look at the numbers. And numbers show growth in all sectors including F2P, Mobile, and PC.
All that other crap I don't care about.
Why? Because it makes sense?
Make that $199.99 permanent?
An open console=PC?
Oh humans, you disappoint me.
People claim PS+ gives them free games even though they already have their $50 so I see no problem with XBL saying these games are free as you aren't paying for Gold to access these.
You are critiquing them for giving you more features yet praise the PS+ model? Come one now.
