Weekend Confirmed 102 - SSX, Binary Domain, Vita
by Garnett Lee, Mar 02, 2012 4:00pm PSTGDC looms on the horizon next week but there's no quiet before the storm. Christian Spicer and James Stevenson join Jeff and Garnett for a show stacked with great games. SSX, Binary Domain, and Syndicate co-op lead the pack, and there's still plenty more to talk about with the PlayStation Vita. The conversations also cover some of your games that drive you right to the brink but keep you coming back for more and hoped-for inclusions in the rumored to be announced SimCity 5. And that's just some of the talk that races by along the way before Finishing Moves caps it all off.

What do you think possesses a developer to completely sell a great series out completely, or do you think this is a symptom of the larger problem with Microsoft- that they want so desperately to one-up the Wii level success of Nintendo that they have completely missed out seeing that even Nintendo could not keep that up and chasing the mass market only lead to their decline.

Microsoft can't do what Nintendo did. They would never disrupt themselves and are unable to do it even if they wanted to. Microsoft can create micro-companies that don't answer to shareholders and can attempt to take risks, but again they wouldn't disrupt Microsoft proper. Why undermine the main company?
