The reason why Sony should be carefull is that games can probably be easilly ported to the XBox 360, whereas the PS3 needs new software kits and new hardware that is still uncharted territory.

Still, compatibility isn’t enough for a console to win the biggest market share, porting games to Dreamcast was easy as pie but that didn’t save it, very unfortunately.

I guess that time will tell.

If it weren’t for Pokemon coming out at that time for Gameboy, Nintendo probably wouldn’t have neglected that proposal by Microsoft to buy them.

I still feel that in a few years time Nintendo will have to put it’s mouth where their feet are and take everything back they said. Nintendo fans might say that I’m a fanboy and I’m being pessimistic, but I see it more as being realistic.

Nintendo has some issues with the development of it’s software and outside the software houses, for example, in Portugal the Nintendo products have a horrible company distributing them, while the Dreamcast showed adds every night on various major channels and of various games, advertised in sport events, Nintendo did nothing.

The effect of that, and of the long development time they take to make games (such as Zelda 64 which can easilly be passed if you played the previous games) isn’t enough to quench the thirst of the console owners.

On the other hand, the Playstation had games coming out every week literally, and at least once a month there was an awesome one. I should know, I have about 20 great Playstation games that I haven’t touched that I wish I had the time for them, meanwhile I’ve finished all the N64 games I have and ended up giving it away cause there was nothing left on it to make me go back to play it.

But enough of this console talk, this comment is probably longer than the article itself already.

Microsoft……….PWNED
