[QUOTE="takyris, post: 2977827, member: 5171"] Not to snark, but was Brightman trying to fill space on a slow news day? That article takes a fundamental "duh" premise, packs in a couple of sound bites, and stretches for a conclusion that is properly doomsaying. (Not that I think it was bad of Flexor to post it here, mind you. It's on topic and conversation-provoking. I just disagree with it.) Speaking as somebody who heard his wife say the sexiest words ever a few weeks ago ("Honey, I think we should get a PS2") and who picked up said PS2 last week specifically so that his wife could beat his butt at Guitar Hero, I've got no plans to get a PS3 soon. But I'm not a curve-leader. I'm a curve-follower. I'm barely able to see the curve from where I'm standing. I just got an Xbox last year. Not an Xbox 360 -- an Xbox. But there are so many geeks with so much money that, well, I don't think the PS3 is going to be hurting. It'll do what the 360 did -- sell high at first, then slump until games that take advantage of its technology come out. BioWare's [i]Mass Effect[/i] is planned as an Xbox 360 exclusive (I'm not saying that it's a sysem-seller, although I've heard a few people mention it as a reason for them to get the 360), but if you go to BioWare's site and check their menu, they have "Dragon Age," "Mass Effect," the MMO, and "New Next-Gen Game." I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the next-gen game was possibly being developed for more than one platform, or if one of those platforms happened to be the PS3. :) [/QUOTE]
