Message: [QUOTE="Metroid_Hybrid, post: 356045, member: 40440"] I've already caught a bunch of flak over this in the PS3 vs 360 thread, but it fits the topic of the thread: Halo: Combat Evolved Not because it's necessarily a bad game, far from it, but because I truly believe that without it the original Xbox would have failed. And you're going to have a Sisyphean task trying to convince me that [B][I]Microsoft[/I][/B], of all companies, entering the console market was an overall net-positive for the industry. Normies be damned. Microsoft has bought-out, and sequently shuttered, literally [B]dozens[/B] of developer studios over the past 20+ years. Which, part of the second-order effects of this contributed to the hyper-inflation of the production costs of AA & AAA games over the years... and I hate it.. Yes, I know that Sega was already circling the drain, but at least the Dreamcast would've had a longer, more natural lifespan.. I also believe that there would've been a greater incentive for developers to master the PS3's Cell Processor architecture when it finally came around as well.. [/QUOTE]
