Guys, competition is good. Let Sega come back and the phantom become a succes. The only reason the GC is still on the market is because nintendo is making some GREAT games like Metroid Zelda and mario games to name a few. I don't know if they would put so much effort into perfecting these games if there was no competition. Same goes for the other companies who will have to put alot more effort into the games to stand out. just look at the growth of quality of games in the last 5 years. It wouldn't have gon so fast if there wasn't alot of competition. The gaming market is also alot larger now so more games need to be made causing production studio's getting created and lots of people getting jobs in the industry.
Competition has also made prices go down or rather not go up. I'm paying less or the same now for a new ps2 game as I was paying 15 years ago for a NES game. The ps2 came to my country for a price of arround € 500,-. Now with M$ and nintendo's competition I'm pretty sure the ps3 will get a cheaper price when released.
Competition is only good. No bad side to it.
PS2 won this race because they were first and most importantly it had a dvd player.
You can hate M$ what you want but they have made the best machine on the market (not by looks but perfromance) and deserve to stay.
Putting the concepts of good and evil into this discussion is just stupid.
Your going to have a tough time Ryo with the evil sony going to onto the handheld market. You'd rather that they didn't do so?
