I need help to expand and keep alive "Consolitis"

Hello - I have been lurking on your forums for quite some time now. Since you lot seem to be against the Decline - I am confident that some of you would like to help to expand and try to defend the Consolitis page on the Wikipedia from deletion - they have deleted it twice already - once in 2003 and once in 2006.

Cheers,
Waim

About consolitis:) The multi-targeting, when they develop a game for xbox and then port it for pc, eventually ruining it.

The only way the name could be more loaded is if it were "CONSOLETARDATION". Maybe start there.

I don't think that "consoletardation" would live very long there:) Idea is to spread awareness of the problem that has been discussed in several forums, blogs and articles, so I think that aggregate article on the wikipedia would be beneficial - since it is being used more and more as a reference material.

Poor AI and simplified gameplay have more to do with bad designers than with consoles, though. Interface complaints are legit, but that's it.

I can't even imagine why anybody would waste time on something like this... believe me, I just can't call it a "project" with a straight face.

A word used by PC gamers to describe the cost-friendly practice of developers in which a video game is clearly designed to accommodate the limited capabilities of console systems.

Symptoms include inferior graphics, sluggish gameplay, clumsy user interfaces, checkpoint-based save systems, a lack of dedicated servers, limited customization and simplified game mechanics.
It was clear that due to the overwhelming amount of negative user reviews of Modern Warfare 2 for PC that Infinity Ward had contracted consolitis.
Urban dictionary.

Rockstar makes shitty ports. Not saying they make shitty games (except for Manhunt).

Inflamation of the console?

Overheating was the cause of the RRoD right?
