Multi-Platform?

[Fez]

The whole basis of console gaminghas beenthrough every single generation, experience. The experience of hearing that achievement sound cannot be matched by any other consoles, the adrenaline rush of driving Motorstorm with the SIX-AXIS cannot be matched by any other console and the ability to play bowling and finish off watching the weather cannot be matched by any other consoles.

The seventh generation console war doesn't exist, the only war that is going on is Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo begging some developers for exclusives. Take for example Assassin's Creed, was intended for PS3 exclusive until Microsoft negotiated with Ubisoft to bring it to their console, there is no war. Just an experience.

Each console has a feature, each console has a brand, each console has an exclusive

And I just wanna get the message 'Why not go multi-platform?'

TBH I love Multi Platform games :]
I'd kill to have motor storm on the 360 it looks a true gem , and if their were no multi platform games 360 wouldn't have GTA Or Assasains Creed :]

Again the Wii has these, Obviously the brand is going to be different as well as the price.

Here's a little fact for ya', 45% of Xbox Owners have a Wii, thus the name Wii60.
