'We Really Really Don't Need New Consoles'

by SonofMacPhisto , Sunday, April 28, 2013, 10:43 (4016 days ago) @ Mix

Generally speaking, I really like what Yahtzee posted this week. I'm not sure about what he says regarding the 'state of the industry,' simply because I don't know enough about it, but his 'desperate let's-see-what-we-can-get-away-with lunge from a dying beast' just rings true.

Anyway, there you go. Enjoy. Apologies if this was already posted, and I missed it.

/patiently awaits Destiny PC announcement.
