		<description><![CDATA[fyi, wonderful blog. No hard feelings. You dont have to respond to me at all. 

&quot; I even witnessed a Call of Duty: Ghosts preorder for Wii U get turned away as the customer was told that the game isn’t coming. We don’t know whether it’s coming or not. &quot;

They also didnt announce a ps4 version. They seem to be waiting on all the next gen systems from what people are saying]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a counter to that, I would respond with the admittedly cliched &quot;it&#039;s never too late&quot;. While the majority of the gaming press is made up of mid-20s to early-30somethings, many of whom clearly feel they have something to prove, I feel strongly that there&#039;s very much a place for more &quot;mature&quot; perspectives on the industry. Your analysis pieces are a good example -- while some may not be interested in the ins and outs of the business side of things, there are plenty of people who are, too -- people who aren&#039;t always catered to.

One of the issues with the modern games press is its homogeneity. (I think that&#039;s a word.) It&#039;s all designed for that lucrative target audience of 18-30 year olds who are mainly interested in triple-A titles. There&#039;s still relatively little to distinguish a lot of outlets from one another -- ironically, 1up was one of the more distinctive ones out there -- and I really do wish we&#039;d see more big sites taking a bold step and specialising their content to different audiences rather than everyone courting the exact same demographic. Gamers are a diverse bunch; the people writing about them should surely reflect that. Small sites do a lot better at this as they&#039;re more free to take risks -- my own Games Are Evil is steadily carving out a nice niche, for example -- but the big sites have to think of the bottom line, I guess.

Keep doing what you do -- it&#039;s always an interesting read and I know your thoughts and analysis are read and respected by many. If the games press opens its mind a bit -- which I think it will in the coming years -- then there&#039;s absolutely a place for other perspectives.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m with you on this one, Peter. Why do consumers even pre-order in the first place? It&#039;s essentially a gamble. I pre-ordered Wind Waker (a masterpiece), but I also pre-ordered Super Smash Bros. Brawl (the most horribly unplayable online experience ever). People rag on media outlets for whitewashing previews, but consumers must realize it&#039;s a necessary evil. Without them, they would be going into a game completely blind, rather than with cautious optimism.]]></description>
