Is it just me or does this entire situation spell out everything that's wrong with the modern gaming industry?
It is not just you.
The last few years I grew disgusted of the Xbox platform, the way it's been comercialized, the lack of variety, etc. I just ended up pulling the ethernet cord from my X360. No way I'm buying anything from Microsoft ever again.
Sony are not saints either, the last two Sony consoles I got were the PSP and the PS2 and those were awesome. I skipped the PS3 and the way things are going, I'll surely skip the PS4.
