Consoles beyond 6th gen worthless

I agree with Ignition a bit. I think we should be getting close to a state where all our data (digital, DLC, patches, etc.) should be transferable. Well, I hope so. Maybe patches will eventually be made available in the future, even if things go against the consumer.

Which ones are in 6th gen? I keep thinking about procs when I hear this term.

Perhaps I can sum things up, but I think that basically any console that is just a low-end computer is worthless as a game machine, and have more value as a media player (DVD/BD/HD-DVD/streaming).

Also, the Wii hardly uses patches. I'm only aware of one game that had a patch (Skyward Sword).

Personally, I hope that both 360 and PS3 will support offline patching. I believe both systems support similar functionality, so an effort plus making patches available for download through their respective websites.

When Sony shut down the PSP version of the Playstaton Store they still allowed users to download already purchased software and online multiplayer. They also released a PC tool called Playstation Network Downloader that would allow you to download PSP content to your PSP from the Playstation Store through your PC.

I honestly expect Sony to keep up this practice for any future systems that reach end of support.

Here's hoping that continues.

burningdoom:
Most patches and updates aren't to fix game-breaking glitches, though (there are exceptions, I know). They're usually small updates or small bug fixes. Most games you can play right out of the box without internet or updates (at least the campaign/story modes).
