'Point fraud:' Pennsylvania man sues Microsoft for Xbox Live games' failure to load
,----[ Quote ]
| All the major home video game consoles
| offer downloadable games and add-ons that
| can be bought from a Web-based store,
| directly through the user's console. But of
| the three major companies, Sony, Nintendo,
| and Microsoft, only Sony assigns actual
| dollar values to its downloadable content.
| Both Microsoft and Nintendo work on points
| systems where users must first buy a
| specific amount of credits that are then
| spent on new content.

The end of the Wii era
,----[ Quote ]
| Take yourself back in time to 2006 for a
| moment. The Wii just came out, and it has a
| controller that looks like a magic wand and
| controls games in a way that's never been
| done â at least not on such a large scale,
| and not as the main draw of a console.
| Motion control establishes itself as a
| bonafide addiction, and the Wii turns into
| a runaway success.
