User blog comment:Salnax/Ohga Shrugs: On Console Launch Prices/@comment-5883269-20130412030859

Very informative post Salnax, did you have some informatic or computer background?.

In general the people forgot that console rarely(the famicom have this BASIC but still was a weaker that PC-88 or the MSX) have PC like function or hardware, here more with the background of two companies who dated from the arcade era(and still with Arcade in SEGA case) who make their game as platform for their game with support for external if they want.

In general the hardware is pretty fine, well made both Stream and Eclipse will made very nice 720p/60fps or 1080p/30fps games in general(Nintendo still can make mario 3D 1080/60fps, their desing that was pretty thin and use the whole power of their hardware).

With genre, besides some PC ports(Mass Effect, GTA maybe, some other western games?), third parties like Capcom, Square, Ubisoft know what to do?

What happened to Mario 3d Land? will be Nintendo 3DS big game for 2013? and what will be SEGA big gun?(Metal Gear with Konami? some of platinum? Sonic?).

And what if the Namco Fate(Sammy still want an arcade company and the CSK never release SEGA, here their little golden egg chicken)
