Anti-trust laws exist to protect the market as a whole, in the 90s and early 00s the laws were used to prevent microsoft from using its dominance in one market (Operating Systems) to unfairly crush other businesses with monopolistic business practices. For example Sun's JVM versus Microsoft's JVM, which was a broken implementation designed solely to disrupt Sun and leveraged through Microsoft Windows autoupdate, something Sun could simply not compete with.
In the last three generations of consoles (a period of around 13 years) there have only been 3 mario platformers. (64, sunshine, galaxy). And you think galaxy isn't a big step up from 64, then I don't know what to say.
The main problem is that the App Store is the only source of iPhone apps, whereas I might buy a Belkin router from a different store, be browsing amazon and decide to post a review of it.
It's articles that really do pc gaming a disservice. All you need to get pc gaming at reasonable resolutions is a decent mid range card like a 9600 or 9800. I have an 8800 GTS 512 and even on the absolute newest games I still achieve great framerates on good looking settings.

$500 for an ethernet cable? Some people will buy anything...
I have ascended NetHack 3 times, and I still lack the patience to beat the single player on mario kart wii, it's just too frustrating.
Mods on crack, asking him why he doesn't like something is not flamebait.
Perhaps he doesn't have the right, but the MPAA shouldn't act so surprised when people do it.
Why do you boycott Apple?
Microsoft were forced to stop producing their virtual machine and now Sun's implementation of the JVM is the most prominent one.

So what we need is UN mod points?
"Why would they care? Windows Media Player is their number one seller!"

The problem is the word "console".
The majority of non-Japanese innovation comes from PC games.
Now that I think about it, outside of Nintendo, the Japanese games industry doesn't really innovate at all. Dragon Quest 17 anyone?

I hate to get you down, but do you realise that UT3 is one of those few games where you can put your CD Key into steam and get a free steam copy.
You take your logic and you get out of here!
Eric Schimdt likes porn just like every other guy.
He just happens to archive it in the petabytes instead of gigabytes.
Are you suggesting Duke Nukem Forever won't ever come out?
