"Games industry and its over population"

The Games industry is a fickle thing.With the boasts in sales thanks to Sony seeling games consoles to the main stream.The Console has been a box at the side of every telly in the world for at least 3 years and Sony is to thank for this.You cant say anything other than this because the industry was drowing and the playstation hit the market the right time to make an impact on the public.But i feel,i get that sinking feeling gain.

With consoles getting released left right and centre,it isnt a surprise the market is getting over populated and will continue to do so come a years time.There came a time when there was only 2 serious players in the games Industry,Sega and Nintendo.But know the "cookie tin is becomming full" the games companies are releasing there big guns in hope of massive sales,sadly i cant see this happening,they are going to steal each others thunder.

Everything this year and early next is affecting the future of the industry.Though im looking forward to this "next generation" of gaming,i cannot help but be sceptical.Come next easter,the following list will still be in homes and Still being played on.
-Playstation
-Playstation 2
-Dreamcast
-X Box
-Gamecube
-N 64
-Gameboy colour
-Gameboy Advance

That is a huge list for one industry to deal with.Sales will slow down because people wont have the money to buy quality releases because there too busy buying the consoles..It is outrageous to think that there will be 8 pieces of hardware circulating the public.Though some of these will be in limited supply and wont get the light of day,they will still be a part fo the industry.

I mean,who can afford to buy all these consoles,sure you could stick with the one and wait for these great games to come and go,but if you want complete choice then you need to own them,because we all know that if you miss out on a good game then you feel strangley left out.The industry is getting to crowded and i feel it will break it.But hey we can all hope it doesnt because there are some classic games comming our way,and it will be a shame if they cant accumulate the sales they deserve.

The england players have got that extra confidence and belief in themselves that they can succeed. They should be able to beat the germans.

It's going to be a tough game against the Germans, but if England play like they have been playing, then we should prevail.

Ive always though England has needed a foriegn coach, Sven can concentrate on winning games, and not reading the Sun and worrying about what the public thinks. Sven doesnt give a monkeys about what the Sun writes, which means England is stronger now than ever.

Goodnight everyone, keep posting quality stuff :-)

I dunno about winning the world cup. i think if they can beat the germans in their own yard then England definitly can become world beaters.

I dont think Englnad have the quality to compete against the best in the world...sure they are looking good now,but they havent played anyone of quality

England are certainly looking good. Good enough to win the world cup even. Sven has done well.

Well, after seeing them destroy mexico any fan of any nation has to agree that England are becoming a team to fear. When Owen is on top form his pace is frightning.

Good enough to win the World Cup, comming from an Argentinian Fan????

Thats probably a good thing.

So thats never right! nah england are looking like a good team under sven.

Maybe when England Win the World Cup again!
