Quote:That's the thing - who can tell which console will have the best exclusive games a year from now? No way to know for sure, so you may as well pick based on which has the price/performance you think is best.
That's an important question, especially for me since I got burned pretty bad with the Gamecube. It's easy to look back and laugh at it now, but at the time it seemed like a console with a good lineup of games coming down the road.
Soon after purchasing a GC new games were either terrible or no longer in development. Granted, there are some great titles for GC which I still enjoy playing from time to time, but these became few and far between. It's a slightly different story with PS3 and XBox360, since their lineup continues to be strong.
But I can't help having a nagging feeling about these new games. How much longer will companies spend the millions to develop these games? Will it hold out forever, or will the heavy weight of producing these new high end games start sinking development ships?
I know the higher pricetags of XBox360's has shown one possible way to stay afloat, but there's a breaking limit on pricetag as well.
