@Ladiesman17 To make the numbers manageable, I decided to look at a single generation and first-party games. There aren't really generations or first-party games on the PC, so it's sort of difficult to examine where in the hardware cycle those new IPs would come.

@-The-G-Man- We linked it in the article: http://www.gamespot.com/features/games-of-the-generation-6384779/

@Rocthepanther89 The article is actually about me recognizing the hypocrisy in looking down my nose at free-to-play games. I'm still skeeved out by them and the exploitative skinner box tactics they use, but I'm not going to judge the people who play them. At the risk of being "that guy," let me just say that some of my best friends play Facebook games.

@zyxe

These two editorials are probably the ones I talk about it most directly:

http://www.gamespot.com/features/the-sims-social-pulls-a-bait-and-switch-on-players-6365384/

http://www.gamespot.com/features/the-return-of-arcades-6344645/

@Neil_Clancy An audience can adapt. Compare the comments on editorials we write now to editorials we started running them regularly late last year and you'll (generally) see a lot more willingness to consider what's being said and offer personal viewpoints.

@c_rake That is also entirely possible.

@rhymesmatter @B0ne3ater I don't think this story would have been written any differently if I agreed with you about the ME3 ending. This is a news story, and I do my best to eliminate my personal feelings from the news. How could I have written this story in a more fair and impartial way?

@yomonkey Couldn't agree more! http://www.gamespot.com/features/the-return-of-arcades-6344645/

@Lunatic420s This is entirely possible.

@chad28_69 They should show us this stuff because they're hugely invested in both categories. And I think we'd receive more core-focused Vita and 3DS games better than PS Move stuff, PS Suite, Wii U Fit Plus, Sing, and a half-dozen other things that swallowed time at the conference. Also, I haven't been putting the handheld sector down (quite the opposite), so I certainly haven't abdicated my right to be disappointed when companies don't support their own platforms.
