Ignoring all the crap off topic chat and moving back on topic, where in the article does the guy say they're out to win? Why in the hell do threads like these stay open when the title is blatantly misleading to get views and completely misquotes the person interviewed. To me its the standard exec talk saying they have strong plans and hope to catch up in the market, there is no claims of dominance at all.

Like slowmo I want to actually talk about the content of the OP not drag up ancient history, AGAIN! Get over it, it was last century man!

Anyway I'll believe "we've got plenty up our sleeves yet to reveal" when I see it. Otherwise I'm going to assume this is PR hyperbole about some announcements scheduled for E3 that are going to fall pretty flat, as is the case with many announcements.

There better be some really good stuff for the Wand, otherwise that is going to fall flat and put rather a damper on what should be a great 2010 for PS3.

2010 excites the Sony fanboy within me.

sonys never disapointed anybody before there a good company that knows how to manage and deliver. look how well the ps1 and the ps2 did, true ps3 had a slow start! but that was because of the price but now they managed to get back on track and now their delivering the good exclusives and now MS going threw a dry spell with not very good games

Yes.... for sure... that is why they have record losses and introduced the PS3 with a 600 €/$ price tag due to poor production capabilities.

This is also why the PS3 production was also low thanks to low blu-led availabilties...

Nobody was dispointed by the early price either.

mmh. Good post.

Motion control, the 'holy grail of gaming'? XD LMAO, that's hilarious, I remember too well when Nintendo unveiled their plans for Wii, and Sony dismissed motion controls as a gimmicky fad that would never catch on.

... What will all the PS3 fanboys do now, after making fun of the Wii and its control mechanisms for years, saying they don't want nor need them, and how superior traditional analog controls are... yet now Sony themselves are proclaiming motion controls to be the way to go, and indeed, going as far as saying they're gaming's 'holy grail'? XD

Also @ people going on about how Sony did or did not 'rip-off' many ideas from Nintendo, well, Nintendo were the ones who introduced the D-pad, the shoulder buttons, the control stick, the rumble pack, and now, motion controls. Guess what other hardware companies followed suit and integrated all of these ideas into their own subsequent controllers? That's right, all of them.

Fact is, Nintendo pioneers a lot of things that go on to become industry standards, whether some people like it or not. And yes, the PS1 controller did only receive a control stick after the N64 came out and proved with its 3D games how well it worked. And there's also a difference between 3D and 3D. Yes, the PS1 had 3D games before Nintendo came out with their N64. *However*, Nintendo were the first ones to do true open-world 360 degrees 3D gaming right with a little thing called Super Mario 64. Compare SM64 with the '3D' games on PS1 that came out before it, you'll see what I mean.

Believe!!!

How is the PS2 a "distant memory" when it is still selling?

Thank you for saving me the trouble of writing this.
