I agree with your statement..it is shit..but why do people still buy them? Why do game companies still manufacture games for the system?..just a couple questions to think about..
Well tis MS, MS has a huge fan base and the 360 games are easier to operate more often than not than the more sloppy PC ports, casual gaming is luertive because casual sheeple don't have brains *lick*
except Microsoft isn't getting the casual gamer, Nintendo is. the reason companies still make a lot of games for it is because the games were in production when the 360 had that year head start. If they had known that the Wii would outsell it in a year and the PS3, even at $600 would sell faster at the start than the 360's start things would have been different. Also, it is so similar to the PC that ports are easy for more revenue.

bullocks there are 2 kinds of casual gamer, the gamer whos happy with what ever game he can find not caring about price,quality or loss of rights,ect,ect the other kind is a non gamer and is not interested in traditional games, zombies the lot of them....... they can cater to them all they want...BUT if quality is sacrificed to rush a project along I will call BS.
Mind you I am a Game nazi black sheeple but still... :P
how do those two people differ? first doesn't care about price or quality, pretty much the 5 million plus people that have bought mario and sonic at the olympics and that is the same person that doesn't care about traditional games.

the fact you are whining about quality dosent matter makes you sheep, you do not care if quality is increased or maintained you just what your titles and movies now.
Of coarse whats worse the sheep happily falling the trail no matter where it leads oy the fools on the fence tossing pebels snickering at them, statistically speaking fools in the minority are the greater fools.
maybe it is because it is late, but I don't understand what you are trying to say here. something about what kind of quality I care about and fools sitting on a fence? all I can think about is bed and Humpty Dumpty.
