the deceived said:OK then, I take my words back. I apologise for the statement, but don't you think it is just that little bit unfair on the competition with having the XBox 360 and PC games having the same programming format? I mean, yeah I'm all up for creating games that make it easier for programmers (as I am studying Computer Games Programming at Uni right now), but competition is always a healthy thing for consumers as it lowers prices, and we get the best items available. It just seems like yet another ploy by Microsoft to expand there already massive company. To me, the XBox 360 no longer feels like a console, but more of an entertainment system and a marketing ploy by Microsoft.
That's because the developing program for Xbox 360 is so much more simple than the PS3's. If the PS3 does really require about $17.2 million to develop for, then some companies will go bust trying to make a game for them. Of course, that's what Sony decided to do, so good luck to them. Microsoft has lots of experience creating OS's and things of the sort, and the advantage is that it's common and easy to use.
