One could well argue that the ability to patch games on the consoles has  
led to a deteriation of quality by the rise in importance of the schedule  
(i.e we can't release this on time it's not ready vs. we'll patch it  
later). However PCs have always had this ability so wouldn't explain why  
Warp is having difficulty unless he's only buying games that have been  
pressured out on arbitary time-scale. Of course it could be a mix of  
pushing the hardware at the same time as pushing out the game 'on time'.
