There are some things in life that confuse me immensly, like the two times table for example or even BEARDS' sexuality. But when i read about Microsoft and Sony trying to literally rush their next consoles in order to beat the other to it, I am deeply annoyed and perplexed. When even Nintendo.... Nintendo start to join in with the games, one cannot help but be bemused.

Firstly, all the next generation consoles are more than capable enough of handling the newest games, so be it the developers have to make the textures blander or whatever. So there is definately no need in creating new consoles just to contend with rival companies. When groundbreaking, innovative technology arrives then perhaps the manufactures should then consider creating new disc reading, ultimate games playing entertainment systems. But as it is, right now, there is absolutely no need for new consoles. This could be a put off for potential customers when they know the developers have already got the next console planned, they will inevitably want to get the most from their filthy dough.

When will they learn? There is no ultimate deadline for these machines. Creating deadlines and throwing dates around in the air (not old plumbs) will only put a limit on the innovation, technology and ultimately quality and fun. I mean, if the invention of the motor car had been rushed it would look similar to the food found on Dot Cottons moustache and perform like Johnny Vegas in the grand national, rather than the mean petrol guzzlin', hedgehog crushin', ozone layer destroyin' that they are today.. So... When will they learn? most probably when it is too late and they have had to resort to bankruptcy just to keep their suit and tie, they once took for granted. Maybe Sega could tell you what happens when you start to get greedy? It shouldn't be a race, it should be a hazy sunday afternoon sitting in the park watching atrocious Sunday League footy players, splitting open their ankles and infecting themselves with dirt.

So, when Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo approach you with their new console ideas, simply turn away, and reply "Not today, Thank you", leaving them to have a word or two with Sega, and how it all went wrong.

Cheers
