Nah... there won't be any good games released for these consoles that aren't on PC already. Which is probably the #1 reason.
There is no PC equivalent to the Forza series.

If you want to support the artist, go to their concerts.
Because the revenue off a 300 person venue is really enough for a band to live off. Just how much money do you think that gets them? How much do you think it costs to put on a gig at a large venue?
When you don't have to pay for logistics and you don't expect any profit, the final ticket cost is incredibly low.
BWAHAHA. The gear doesn't transport itself for free and neither is the gear free. Very few venues provide anything other than a stage to perform on and maybe some lighting which you have to pay someone to operate on. And if the final ticket cost is incredibly low then doesn't it follow the musicians are getting less as well?
If Mariah carey had gone independent instead of being with Columbia or Virgin Records etc. she would have been able to retain all of the profits
Without the promotion of the record companies and the money they had to finance recording and releases, she'd have still been a waitress.
The world is caving to the slightest whims of an industry that we would survive just fine without.
So if you can survive fine without it why do you care that they restrict releases, own the copyrights and want to prevent people from pirating it?
The public is getting nothing but censorship out of the bargain,
Sorry but there is no censorship. Not being able to freeload stuff that you have to pay to access doesn't amount to censorship. If it were censored I'd not be able to see it all however the reality is I can see it by the methods those who own the property and therefore get the right to decided have provided - public TV, pay TV, cinema, movie rental, legitimate online streaming services, by purchasing DVDs/Blu-Ray etc etc.
are you being ironic and sarcastically making fun of the fact that Brit rights have been stolen to build a money vacuum for sucking pounds & pence from limey wallets into yank coffers?
What rights have been stolen? None.
Nevermind the new jobs that this will enable.
I'm curious - what new careers do you foresee, that current professional drivers would qualify for?
I was a trucker for 20 years. I've just been given an offer of a place at a top 10 university to do a BEng (Hons) in Electronics Engineering. Not all of us do trucking because we're incapable of doing anything else and I find your insinuation that we are quite insulting.
Perhaps they know they can't get the new Mac Pro ready in a reasonable time after this bullshit "directive" goes into effect, or (MUCH more likely), the EU rules threw their development cycle into a tizzy, and now they have to REDESIGN their almost-ready-but-now-not-so-much Mac Pro. Ever think of that???
By redesign you mean "put a grille over the fan"? My £13 PC PSU fan has a grille over it that you can't get your fingers through. Its hardly a difficult thing to achieve.
Let me know when all the countries of the EU agree to finally pay the WW2 debt they owe to the US that every single one of them except the Netherlands IIRC flatly said they were never going to pay.
You are obviously completely ignorant of the fact that the UK paid you back some time ago.
Warranties on *all* electrical goods in Europe are two years by law.
This isn't the first time I hear that claim on
It depends on whether your country has implemented the EU directive or not. We haven't here in the UK and we don't want to as our Sale of Goods Act rules are stronger than the EU directive in many ways. There is no such thing as a fixed guarantee - goods should last for a reasonably expected lifetime.
I remember using Win95 and 98. then I switched to Linux when 98 was new. then it was like "wow it's gone a whole two weeks without a BSOD or a reboot". then after a while that felt normal.
Of course you were....
