Because, once again, not every game has to have 3D graphics with realtime lighting and shading effects.

Do you really think the average MS Word user is going to deal with markup to create documents in LaTeX?

I have a 360, and played it plenty more than I ever did my Wii. Nowadays most of the non-exclusive AAA games are being released on 360, PS3, as well as PC (although sometimes the PC port comes a bit later). Granted, some of the "special" features of the new consoles (forced Kinect, the touchpad on the PS4 controller) will probably limit how games get ported. I always buy the Nintendo console each generation not as a primary gaming device, but because I still love Nintendo's first party games (particularly the Zelda games).

It's funny watching my Xbox fanboy friends making ridiculous apologetic statements for Microsoft.
"You have to pay for online access for the PS4 now as well!" As though that's actually a supportive argument for the Xbox One.
"I'm glad there is always-on DRM so that I can download and play my games on other people's consoles while signed in!" As though MS is incapable of making the 24 connection requirement only necessary for digitally purchased games, and allow you to only play disc-purchased games when you have the disc.
"I always have internet, so this isn't a problem for me!" As though Xbox Live has never been down for several days at a time before (or been weird about not letting large numbers of people sign in while others have no problem)

I've never been a Sony fan, and I still don't know if I can trust the company that pulled the rootkit scandal. What I do know is that I am absolutely not going to a be a Microsoft customer this next generation. I will probably get a Wii U to play 1st party Nintendo games, and do the rest of my gaming on PC. Sony still has a shot at convincing me to get a PS4, but Microsoft has already lost me.

I would argue that "ways to go" has been getting much shorter.

How is he right? "Game" does not have to mean cutting-edge, state-of-the-art 3D graphics with massively multiplayer mechanics. If you are making a simple 2D card game, how much advantage are you really getting from writing the game in C, spending a lot more time writing it, and then building it for each platform you'd like to distribute to? For simple games, HTML5 and JS allow you to write it quickly and easily distribute to many platforms. Sounds like you are just as bitter and old as the GGP.

For 2D games with simple mechanics, you don't need the performance of a fine-tuned engine written in C or C++ and natively compiled. Writing your game logic in JavaScript and rendering to an HTML5 Canvas is an easy way to distribute a simple game to many platforms.

All of that has been made irrelevant by paternity tests.

By not supporting archaic social customs that suggest males are superior to females and are the only way to extend your family legacy.

Right, some of us believe in equality.

I can't help but assume you're a shill, since the only other post you've made was promoting Windows Moving Maker...

Do you have to pay extra to not have Stuxnet installed out-of-the-box?

Another somewhat relevant SMBC comic.

That may be true if you have a background in psychology, or have something which lends to the authenticity of your message, but in lacking suck credentials, some parenting experience would be better than none.

You then proceed to link a quote from an article which suggests the presence of studies, but provides no links or sources to such studies. I don't disagree with most of what you're saying, but the link you posted offers your argument little credibility.

I'm sure there are plenty of people here that would love to help you out with that.

It seems foolish to use such a large number for the bonus. I would expect most people would immediately be suspicious of that amount. My company pays $2,500 for referring an employee who gets hired on and stays at the company for at least 90 days (any type of employee). To me, that is a very good number for a bonus; it entices employees into referring people, but the number isn't suspicious and probably less than what it would cost the recruiters to find a person of equal qualifications.
