Why lol?

Have you used a modern version of IE? Or how about the fact that microsoft is the only company respecting privacy by keeping the tracking off and having it be optional.

Not sure if that's directed at me, but I just meant that they provide decent competition in terms of specs, services, and games.

I wouldn't, either. They're the only western console maker left right now, but there are plenty lined up to take their place if they fall.

Such as?

Naw. I can jump fence and be right wing and all that if the debate necessitates it. What I dislike is the immediate assumption that because we're told something, it must therefore be right. We're taught that free markets, capitalism, democracy and freedom of speech (amongst other things) are civilisation aspirations, but they're incredibly flawed, if not broken in reality.

I prefer to keep my arguments academic - I'm pretty neutral on most things. I just don't like when people don't question these things - anyone that sits squarely on the right or left wings are equally strange to me. I would have thought by now that was pretty obvious.

Monopolies are a good idea in markets that aren't flexible and where competition will just increase the price of goods. The gaming industry is not that sort of market. A consumer of gaming can, and does, buy more than one game and there is no real limit to the amount of games a person can buy. The same is true of consoles, a consumer can buy no consoles, one console or all of them. Ontop of that console makers don't have to spend money building stuffs in different areas in order to service new market because their products can simply be shipped to wherever.

So when you say that a monopoly on a product like a gaming console is a good thing I'm going to mock the stuffing out of you.

Sony is in a better financial situation than Nintendo or Microsoft are right now. Also, the rage in my thread is delicious.

Jack Tretton is too manly for a Gameboy. He still rocks his Sega Gamegear hooked up by his bedside and carries his fabulous N-Gage

Last time I checked, you weren't given the option to be derogatory towards other users, regardless of their trolling abilities. This isn't the first time either, so I suggest you stop.

I've answered your question, now you answer mine. What would you do if Microsoft/Sony didn't succeed with 720/PS4&Vita which leads to their dropping out of console manufacture?

Although each company (Nintendo included) is strong enough to last us until our children's children are talking about this.

Sony and Microsoft are way better off financially than Nintendo is. You know why? Because they also concentrate on other departments besides video games. They are also WAY bigger companies than Nintendo. They would never drop out of the console or handheld race no matter what unless the ENTIRE company went bankrupt, which will never happen. Sony makes TV, cameras, and a whole bunch of electronics. Microsoft makes Windows and Internet Explorer. Nintendo is a company that concentrates only on video games though, so it's possible that they can drop out of the console/handheld market if they have massive financial problems.

That's great and all, but you didn't answer my question...

I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
