CJ, I can't say he is wrong, the new consoles are fiendishly tough to program effectively, and that is only going to drive costs up. Same old same old. Sony's Playstation 2 was supposed to be tough to program, and yet the game developers figured it out and produced some of the best games ever. He thinks the console market is about to implode. Despite Atari's reputation as being a pioneer, the fact is that they NEVER were good at business. Period. So after the bottom fell out of the video game industry in the early 80's, Atari never could mount a comeback despite some very promising titles and technologies. Now ChuckD thinks the vast volumes of shovelware will bury the video game industry today? Perhaps, but there will still be more than enough must-play video games to keep things going. Look at movies, where the vast majority of new movies aren't nearly worth the $10 a ticket. But that's not slowing down the successful studios that produce titles like Harry Potter and Wallace and Gromit. Tenchusatsu
