At least they know if they do a cross port game that that they can count on a certain revenue.

exactly, with piracy on the rise, game devs are just like, why make a PC game, it will just get pirated. Also, for the fact that anyone can buy a xbox 360 / ps3 at a store. Compared to buying a 1k$ + pc rig for gaming. I know I've made the switch to consoles.

Piracy is rather common on consoles too. However, it is even more common and easier for the PC. You don't need an expensive computer to place games at the same level as a console.

I find it hard to believe that you have switched to console. Looking at your signature, you still use your PC for gaming. Yes, I know, high-end parts aren't just for gaming. However, I fail to see how you're utilizing that GTX275 in any other way (except for folding of course).

I have not switched fully, I am thinking about it. I did have a GTX 295 and sold it off for a GTX 275 due to I know I dont need max Crysis anymore. I oped for the 275 due to in case a game does come out that is better/or only PC.

I will never fully go Console, getting used to the controller does take time.. And even with a lot of time on the console, I am still not as good. Also, WoW is what I am still hooked to, never leave the PC completely

anyway, due to this is the E3 thread

Nintendo is getting the **** kicked out of them this year, not only has Microsoft one upped them with full body tracking, but Sony has basically taken the Wii-mote and vastly improved on it's capabilities. Forget MotionPlus, Sony's tech is vastly superior. I'm sure Microsoft will have something similar with Natal once they see the Sony show.

I guess we know why Nintendo has been saving all of their big titles, they're going to need them to get through 2010 alive

Edit: Looks like Sony is making a run at Mario Kart too, good stuff!
