GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Feb 9, 2008

I simply cannot afford the 360. Definitely not a PS3. I am the owner of a prematurely obsolete X-Box. I don't understand the decision Microsoft made to never make another X-Box game. F**k man, a lot of people have not 'upgraded' to a next gen console. Sony has wisely recognized that many people will not be buying a next gen console because they are simply too expensive. Plus, there are not many games for these elite gaming systems and their respective libraries are building at a slow rate. This makes sense. Working out all the bugs n' stuff. Sony did right by their PS2 owners and continue to make games for it. PS2 hasn't gone away. There are many people who have this system and love playing games on it. They especially like good new games that are still being developed despite the PS3.

What Microsoft did to X-box owners is cynical, and a total f**k you, now you have to buy the new system because we are not going to make any more games for the X-Box. Because, low and behold, what new thing we have created. It is pure and all that is good. What we have done in the past is no longer relevant because we have created something new spawned from the old. It is better, the old is no longer of any use to you. So, we will do X-Box owners a favour. We will not subject them to anything new for their old, out dated system. Yes, we realize that the Sony people still make games for their comparable 'PS2' game console. They do not know what they have wrought upon the time tested and honored tradition of treating people with a cynical marketing ploy.

The ploy obviously is 'now you got to buy the new system.' No more games. Yeah well, you know, we got the 360 coming out so we decided to increase our projected sales of the 360 by not making games for the original X-Box. I think its the right move for us, ya know. Because if people can't afford a 360, then they are not big enough video game fans. F**k those losers. They should fork over the cash for the new one. It's way better and more awesome with incredible graphics and gameplay. Frankly, the people that don't buy this and are hanging on to their old X-Boxes, are not people we want associated with the X-Box 360 name brand. They can't afford it? It cost too much? They are waiting till the price goes down?

Oh, s**t! Ya know if we still made games and other developers make games for the X-Box, we could absorb some of the cost of marketing the 360.

Ya think?
