BTW it's interesting to note RJ Mical (co-inventor of the Lynx, Amiga and 3DO) is working on PS3 projects. He's also in the Uncharted 2 credits. I love it talents like him get enough resources from Sony to realize their aims and flourish their talents.

You say he was the co-inventor of the Lynx and 3DO, isn't that kinda speaking against his talents?

Technical talents. He's an engineer.

The Amiga was the technically most amazing computer ever released for its time. The Lynx and 3DO were very advanced consoles, but great technicals mainly enhance potentials. To realize optimal market potential you need good managers, resources and advertising in addition to technical talents.

Wait, now it's getting confusing. According to you, RJ Mical is a talented engineer. But he also needs good managers, resources and advertising in addition to his technical talents to realize optimal market potential for the products he is working on. So which of these three things does Sony lack?

None.

I think I understand your logic, like for example the PS2 and Wii outperforming the PS3 saleswise early on.

It usually happens a low spec PC outperforms a high spec top grade gaming PC on the market. It's not like the cheap PC is a better product than the expensive PC. Customers will more easily buy cheaper products and decide it's just good enough (even when of course preferring a better PC). Does this mean high spec PCs shouldn't be made? Of course not. We would like to see the market advance.
