The Importance of Quantum Portability
Remember the time you had to commit to a game console? Will it be an XBOX? A PlayStation? A Nintendo? You knew that whatever you chose, you will be locked in. XBOX games don’t work on a PlayStation and vice versa. Once you made the choice, every game you purchased made it more difficult to switch.
Then again, it was not the end of the world. Most games are available on most platforms, and you were not too worried that SONY will discontinue the PlayStation or that another vendor will drop out.
