"A Console's Image"

The past year is been a change in the phase "Console War", Think about it. We all had our, Differences between the consoles images like what games will rock the console's sales make it the best has completely changed. The word "Exclusive" Now feels unpromised and totally unreliable. Game like Burnout 2 was coming to the purple/black little cube and then made into a exclusive for the PS2 even though the prevoius title of Burnout 2 was released to the cube.

So, Companys these days seemed to need to be bought to make the word Exclusive to totally ture. And also the Past year has been a big turn around in an console's image. Taking for example: Rare.

So, Its not just Rare, Playstation seemed to give the Cube Crash! And Xbox from now on will be seeing Rare's perfection on Nintendo Gamecube's Image and just converting it to a company aiming for a different sort of age group. Another Example, Final Fantasy coming to the cube, But thats just coming back.

So if you understand what i mean. We are under going a big change through gaming, And its happending all too quick.

The gaming world is changing, and very fast. It takes lots to keep a console selling. Alot of people believe that an announcement every month will help sell that console. Now megaton will be a BIG announcement. I am hopning that this means something huge, like signing Capcom.

With exclusive games being the best, developers are rushing multi-format games and they are becoming crap. Where as Zelda, Metroid and Resident Evil, being exclusive, are really very well made!

Good points there, But who knows what megaton brings eh? Reshaping of the image? Just you think about that :p

Yeh, in general 2002 has been a very important and chaotic year in gaming, 2003 seems to be even more exciting, but developers need to stick to original plans, instead of causing dissapointment and confusion.
