Can you read the writing on the wall?

I have a prediction that I feel the need to share because I'm rather smart.

The ColecoVision is nearing its end. This so-called "third wave" game console simply doesn't provide the kind of graphics today's gamers are looking for.

On the one hand, it's trying to cover the older, popular games by giving gamers access to the Atari 2600 library (using expansion module #1), and on the other hand, it's trying to be "cutting edge" with its fancy high resolution sprites, but these don't quite measure up to the things you see on Xbox or PS2. So in the end, it does neither well.

What they should have done was create a DVD-based system with HDTV compatibility, trilinear mip-mapping, and dual analog controllers with rumble features. Not this clunky box of a console.

And I fear that the new PlayStation and Xbox will finish them off for good too! Especially seeing as how the gaming theatre is getting a little crowded now...

I mean take a look at these graphics. Even the naked eye can pick out the superior quality of PS2 and Xbox games:





Now, just try telling me I'm wrong and I'll just pretend I never saw your post.
