Platform Independent Gaming?

klocwerk writes "At the game developers conference, Sun is releasing a white paper on their new "Java Games Profile." Their ultimate goal? To have one CD you could pop into an Xbox, a PS2, a Windows machine, or a Linux machine, and play the same game on them all. If they get full support for it I can finally get rid of that windows gaming partition!" Sun's got an article on their site describing what they hope to accomplish.

The more advanced the "on-the-fly" technology, the more unpredictable delays you introduce, the longer your startup times become, and the more memory you use. It's wrong to think that better hardware will absorb those costs because it's not true.
