[quote=Leeum]The idea is we shouldn't have to do that, at the end of the day it's us that has to suffer.[quote]
Not wanting to sound hostile, but I don't think the term 'suffer' is used at its most appropriate when referring to an entertainment system. I'm sure if linked to the recent typhoon in Japan or flooding in Cornwall it would be much better suited to its task.

You're right, no console will ever win the Console War, but then it's not a war that wants to be won. At the end of the day, Sony and Microsoft want more to earn money than to 'defeat' each other. Both have, in the past, issued statements that say a single console on the market would be a tragedy, as there would be no competition to drive for better games and services. But I also see where you're coming from talking about a single series of games. When one of those starts skipping between console exclusivities, then people are bound to get fed up.

It's just that OWI actually said that they wouldn't release MO on the PS2 if they found a console that was better. Lo and behold they found that console.
