| Dodece said: Sony has a serious issue dealing with the difference between consumers and investors. A consumer wants a high quality product at a reasonable price. The investor wants to buy into something that will net high returns later on. However we are talking about a product that will drastically drop in price not only through time, but the worse it does the faster the price will drop. To be blunt its a very poor investment. Your going to spend hundreds of dollars more then the next guy to get the exact same thing. There is rarely a reward for early adoption of technology. When it comes to a console it should be getting to play the great games sooner then the late adopter, and having better quality in the here and now. Obviously Sony is not delivering on either thus they are promising better down the line. However that is of little comfort to the current owners, or potential buyers. The current owner feels ripped off, and the potential buyer asks a relevant question why not wait. Further more they must ask why not buy the other two. Microsoft and Nintendo are going to deliver better quality games in the near term. They are a better choice for the consumer and the investor. |
You're not spending hundreds of dollars to get the same thing. You are getting the game console and the Blu Ray player, the 360 equivilant is pretty much the same price if you want both those things.
Do you own a PS3? If you don't then how can you claim that owners of PS3s are not happy? They have delivered high quality products on the PS3. Resistance, Motorstorm and Warhawk only from first party games, take that and add all the 3rd party games (Rainbow Six, Oblivion, Ghost Recon, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, etc...) and you have more 'good products' than there is on the Wii (Wii has only 4 games that I can think of that are 'good products': Zelda, Paper Mario, RE:4 and Metroid Prime 3).
If you're not a current owner don't presume to know what a current owner is thinking, also if you are that's your personal opinion, don't think you are somehow representative of every other PS3 owners opinion.
Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
