The cure for cancer is the 10 year plan. =D

why cant sony have a 1 week plan and release home this week.

then after releasing home continue with the 10 year plan

Where is the Xbox and GC? In Gamestop, being sold for $49 and $29 respectively.

Because most of the good Sony-platform games will still be coming out for the PS2 until 2009?

If you project the rate PS3 is selling now, you'd have to assume that the PS3 will have sold at least 60m by 2013, with price cuts etc. 60m isn't enough to win, but it's also not bad enough to force an early wind-up.

IMO, if Sony didn't genuinely believe in the 10-year plan, they never would have put such an exorbitantly expensive piece of hardware out there in the first place. Blind Freddy could see it wasn't going to sell like the Wii right away.

(Of course, they didn't realise the Wii was going to sell like the Wii, either).

it isnt "struggling" to 2nd place you idiot! the only reason it aint there is because it released a year later!

Calling people idiots won't help you..........and yes, PS3 is struggling to reach second place, it will of course, but it is not cruising past the XBox360 as easily as it should have been for the successor of the PS2, even with the head start

LOL

I think some of you were missing my point. It's not about software or hardware.

I know Xbox wouldn't continue to get support like PS2 does. My point is that the executives talk out of there ass.

Multi-millionaire CEOs who don't think things through, if I was on the board I would call for them to be fired.

You want some other flaws with his reason?

-If the PS3 had more compelling software the PS2 wouldn't be so popular.
-If the PS3 was lower priced, the PS2 wouldn't be so popular.
-So Sony "won" the last two generations and could push the lifecycle, they aren't setting themselves up well for this generation.
-How much did Sony lose last fiscal year?
-What would be the incentive for a consumer to buy a PS3 in 4 years? Blu-ray players will be cheaper. Other consoles will be better. PS3 isn't the same as PS2; it doesn't have 130-40 million owners and it won't.

All this is to make the plaers feel better about the Home delays.

He should just say something to the effect of: "It's finished when it's finished; check out all these other games."

I just don't understand how these people keep tere jobs.

To think about it, 2009 will really show how successful and commited Sony is to the "10 year plan" ...

With (roughly) 40 games with a solid release date for the rest of the year, the PSP has one of the smallest Holiday line-ups for any system I have every seen; the PS2 has (roughly) 80, the PS3 has (roughly) 100, the XBox 360 has (roughly) 100, the Wii has (roughly) 140, and the DS has (roughly) 170. Looking into 2009, I see very little reason for support for the PSP to increase given its (very) poor software sales and it is quite possible that third party support will be (noticeably) weaker for the PSP in 2009 than it was in 2008 ...

The end of 2009 represents a halfway point in the "10 year plan" and Sony will have to find some way to keep the PSP alive as a gaming machine ...
