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new console in 4 years, then Sony would need to follow them shortly, because by then their super ultra PS3 would be as outdated as the PS2 is today when compared to the PS3.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. |
MS already released a uber new console and its been getting its ass kicked by the uber old PS2, and its still getting its ass kicked.
Its very simple when you invest so much money on a product, you want it to be out in the market for a long time to make money.
