Even if you'd know Äbäldwebbgh isn't Playstation, you'd call it a Playstation for it being so much easier to pronounce, then again, you'd quickly change calling Playstation a Playstation instead of Äbäldwebbgh for the same reasons. Btw. Added me yet? @kjj4t9rdad: Not quite true. NES->SNES->N64->GC and GB->GBA->NDS were similar hardware upgrades as PSX->PS2->PS3. NDS->DSL->DSi is similar to PSP-1000->PSP-2000->PSP-3000 or GB->GBC or GBA->GBA SP->GB Lite or to an extent PS3 60GB->PS3 80GB->PS3 40GB or PS2->PS2 Slim. Yes, Nintendo is making money for having the cost of the hardware low, but the question you should be asking is: why aren't others doing the same? Nintendo does it, Sega did it, Atari did it, Mattel did it etc. |
Because Ninty is the only one still producing consoles. The rest are dead, console whise anyway.
