I'll admit, I'm kind of with Fishy on this.
Better graphics engines, but frankly I'm not sure that the machines are all that much of an upgrade.
Probably easier to code for, but then that is hardly a consumer's concern.

Heck, now that they are cheap, I might just buy an XBOX360 to hack around with and experiment with homebrew software.
I'd consider that with a PS3, but Sony really skimped on the XDR memory in that console.

Its a pity no one has documentation for the XBOX CPU, there are a ton of them available now, but they are useless except as repair parts.

Why don't you call it pirated games instead of backup?.

An Amiga forum is probably not he best place to lecture someone about piracy.

SONY can keep their crap. I'll stick with the pc for modern gaming.

And you are willing to pay as much for your video card as a console gamer pays for his whole platform, right?

That does it, I've decided to stick with Android gaming.

The new consoles don't really interest me, then again, apart from a PS1 and an Atari 2600 I've never owned consoles when they were fresh and popular. I actually hate joypads. So for me it'll still be Steam.


Personally, I really liked the Sega Dreamcast myself.
Neat design.
Show how bad my judgement can be though (I think I still have one of those around somewhere...).
