the worst situation in video games since the 1980s video game crash. [06:07] IsambardPrince I say worst situation since the crash because none of the console makers are trying to cut costs and be innovative anymore. [06:08] IsambardPrince But Microsoft is the worst offender with the most price hikes and the most ridiculous number of SKUs at retail. [06:09] IsambardPrince The disaster predates the xbox one. [06:09] IsambardPrince The xbox 360 launch cost them a ton because the hardware was defective, and also some had hard drives and some didn't so that they could say those were cheaper. [06:10] IsambardPrince You could use them without a hard drive, which made the load times worse, and then you had to go out and buy flash memory to save your games. [06:10] IsambardPrince Then they sold hard drives separately in case yours failed or you realized buying a system without one was a mistake. [06:11] IsambardPrince The DVD format also meant that they had to dial up data compression to fit the game, which made it so slow it was even worse than the load times on the BD-ROM in the playstation 3, even though that one had lower throughput. [06:12] IsambardPrince Then they got into a high density disc format war with Sony. Microsoft backed HD-DVD, which was a much worse format.

[06:13] IsambardPrince Yes, actually that was the reason for the 10NES lockout chip on the Nintendo Entertainment System. [06:13] IsambardPrince Nintendo had a "Seal of Quality" program.
