The fact of the matter is that Microsoft very rarely updates their stuff and Sony/Nintendo/Sega is constantly updating theirs


Uh huh.  How often has Nintendo updated their handhelds?  Fact is, Microsoft rarely updates because they have no competition in the OS arena.  BUT, with videogames, there is constant competition.  Microsoft will update.

I don\'t want PS2 to win.  I don\'t want any company to win two generations back to back, because 3rd parties can be stubborn bastards.  With each generation you win, you gain more credibility with third parties.  Until, finally, the third parties support ONLY YOU.  Which would ruin the gaming scene.  I don\'t ever want anybody to dominate again like PSX did.  Imagine what COULD HAVE BEEN on the Saturn and N64.  The Saturn had some glorious 2D titles; some masterpieces (Strikers 2, Metal Slug, Fire Pro, Capcom fighters, etc).  Not too mention kick ass gun games.  All were eventually ported to PSX, but the Saturn\'s 2D capabilities were superior.  And how about the amazing 4p multiplayer games we could have had on the N64 if it was better supported by 3rd parties?  We\'ll never know.

It sucks.  Domination ruins gaming.  Back to back generational victories ruins gaming.  I don\'t want Sony to win - I want Sega to win to regain their respect in the community.  They are a VALUABLE contributor with some amazing development talent.  Same with Nintendo - another VALUABLE contributor.  As is Sony and their hardware.

I disagree, there\'s a difference between winning and completely dominating. Developers will always support powerful hardware with good strong finacial backing. I honestly just want to see SOny maintain strong success wether that means winning or not is irrelevant.


It obvious SOny will not dominate because there is strong competition, so if SOny did win, it wouldn\'t ruin the gaming industry like you suggest. It was just help cement SOnys technology and there place in the market  and I am cool with that.


The only thing that has to happen is developers make money on all platform.

BTW, i like your new pic ddaryl
\"In the last 12 months 100,000 private sector jobs have been lost and yet you\'ve created 30,000 public sector jobs. Prime Minister, you cannot carry on forever squeezing the productive bit of the economy in order to fund an unprecidented engorgement of the unproductive bit. You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt.\" - Daniel Hannan
