1- Not going to happen. It will probably go the other way with Sony and Nintendo charging to play online.
2- Famous people = $$$$. That means less money for artists and programmers.
3- As other people have pointed out, upgradable console defeats the purpose of consoles.
4- I'd rather have the optional accessories left out and have a lower price for the base console. If I want the optional piece, I'll buy it.
5- The a...
Slave - do the free work or you get punished (whip)
Salary - do the free work or you get punished (be unemployed)
Granted the slavery punishment is worse than unpaid overtime, but it's still a matter of being bullied into doing free work.
You need to look at it from a standpoint that the employee is paid to do JOB-A up to 40 hours, everything else is him being forced to do another job JOB-B for free and if he doesn't he'll loose JOB-A.
Then the Unions come in to make sure the employees don't get abused by the greedy companies.
Then the Unions get greedy and starts taking advantage of the company. The company has to find a way to get rid of the Union.
Rinse.
Repeat.
This is getting to the point of companies (not just gaming ones) abusing the "salary" positions for free labor. Getting one person to do the work of two, but only having to pay for the one position.
As soon as someone is regularly working more than a couple hours over every day, the company should be either compensating for that extra work, or hire an extra person.
The "it's common now" excuse is laughable. Just because something is co...
How about this:

"...simply looks like a DS with an analog stick."
Because that's pretty much what it is. It is STILL A DS. It still has EVERY feature a normal DS has and can play EVERY game a normal DS can (except GBA). They just added a bunch of new features.
I seriously think the 3DS would have sold better if they didn't include the 3D screen.
The 3D screen does 3 bad things:
Makes it seem gimmicky
Drives the price up <...

You have to watch them in 480P now.
That's all that's different.
What's next Madden FPS? (although it does sound kind of awesome)
At what age should you stop reading books?
At what age should you stop watching movies?
At what age should you stop playing sports?
At what age should you stop watching sports?
At what age should you stop playing board games?
At what age should you stop going on vacation?
At what age should you stop painting?
These are all things that my kids do.

A well filmed movie doesn't make it have a better story, but it is more PLEASING to view.
It's about visual pleasure, it's an important part of the experience whether you want to believe it or not.
I'm 36 and play video games. I guess I'm odd.
But it's perfectly ok if someone my age dedicates all their free time to watching other men play with balls.
Not only watch, but listen to people analyze it, argue about it with my other friends, make sure most of my possessions have the logo (clothes, cups, bumper stickers, etc...), get personally upset if my favorite group of ball players lose..................
Maybe I'm not supposed to ...
For the graphic intensive, "core" games, I'd say it's not Mac-vs-PC that's killing it, it's Laptop-vs-Desktop.
When most people look for a computer these days, they look for a laptop. They just need a productivity/writing/internet machine, and they like to sit at the coffee shop and use it.
Hardly anyone wants a PC tower that has to sit on the same desk in the same room of the house, and that's what you'll need if decide you ...

Care to show me any PS3 games that use MS's proprietary graphics API, a.k.a. DirectX?
Or DirectX running on ANY platform except MS's?
How stupid.
I guess gaming didn't really start until this generation.
and I guess since only 50% of xbox owners have Live Gold accounts, the other 50% of xbox owners aren't gamers.
