The current proliferation of platforms and sundry exclusives can be annoying as one has to be that bit more discerning, but then I am probably greedy/lazy. :o
Imagine only getting games on xbox, no pc, ps3, wii, DS, vita. Now Imagine MS could ask whatever they want for it and as a gamer you wouldn't have an alternative, if you wanted to play you would have to pay up. Exclusives are few and far between. Most titles are multiplat so the idea of a single platform is silly if not outright stupid.Quote:

Currently developers pay royalties to develop on anything but the pc. Imagine how much a company like sony or ms could charge if they were the only option available. Now imagine what that would do to the cost of games.
I love my xbox as much as the next guy but I agree.Quote:
