| Killzone3 said: Who you kidding. The only reason those Br supporters are BR supporters is for the PS3, they all want more Br player in people homes. PS3 also is a big reason BR player costs came down so fast, make more it costs less. Sony really does not give a rats ass about hardware BR supporters, its the software that is winning the war. PS3 wins Br wins, Br wins it really helps the PS3. Thats been the idea from the begining. |
Sorry, but I disagree. The original idea was: PS3 wins no matter what, becomes Trojan horse for BR, BR wins. Remember, Ken Kutaragi (PlayStation father) was fired for a good reason. He made a mistake, a big one. Sony realized that even before the PS3 release. Now they need to justify the PS3 price, labeling it a definitive multimedia rub, super-computer, whatever.Furthermore, I cannot think of any videogame that started bad and then recovered and become first after its second year. So IMHO 2007 is the make or break year for the PS3. After that it can improve a bit, but will never be the leader.
Oh, and Sony needs to stop with all this 10 years cycle BS. It isn't up to a company to dictate that. The videogame industry as a whole will dictate that. If MS releases a super uber new console in 4 years, then Sony would need to follow them shortly, because by then their super ultra PS3 would be as outdated as the PS2 is today when compared to the PS3. The only reason behind the 10 years cycle thing is their desperate attempt to justify their insane $500 price tag.
