@White Death: Hey, you still gotta buy a console every five years. MS and Sony wanted this gen to last 10 years, but with Nintendo bringing out the Wii U next year, now they are following suit after realizing they need to keep up. Certainly not as much as a gaming rig, but still.

@Ghillieman: Five to six years ago, consoles were becoming more popular than computers for gaming. DICE was always primarily a PC developer, but with the advent of the 360 and PS3, they went where the money was, like any company under a capitalist system would. Now they are returning to their home after people are starting to realize the consoles are becoming outdated.
