| Sardauk said: Some interesting input from the big chief at Sony (starts speaking about the Playstation at the middle of the article) : http://www.welt.de/english-news/article2358382/Future-of-Sony-Ericsson-uncertain.html "Have you every played with the Nintendo Wii, your rival's game console?" Stringer: Yes, I have. More seriously: - No price cut for the PS3 - Still losing money on the console (unlike the Wii) but catching up by selling games - Blue Ray remains the key differentiator vs Internet distribution "Another five to ten years will pass before people are downloading significant numbers of high-resolution films from the web. At the moment the quality doesn't even come close to that of a Blu-ray player." ... is Microsoft too optimistic with the full Web approach ? |
I think what stringer is missing is VOD technology.
That and a lot of people don't care about HD.
VOD tech is rapidly growing, and while some people will want hard copies. A lot however will move on.
