Once Sony can show to the masses, it is more than just a game console, it will take off. I know a lot of people have brought up previous generations and how one platform grabs the market and runs without loooking back, and that Nintendo has put them selves in that situation, Their is one differance in this generation. The other consoles have more to offer. Next generation will come around, and when it does new gen will take the back seat. |
Right ...
What exactly is it that people need to understand about the PS3?
People who buy gaming consoles are interested in them because they play games, the additional features at best are a nice addition for most people. If the system is more expensive than they're willing to pay for a gaming console no ammount of Blu-Ray playback or PC features will make them buy it because (to them) it is just a game console.
Blu-Ray is meaningless because there has never been a format that was adopted by 50% of their potential userbase within 5 years of being released; cd was about 8 or 9 years and DVD took about 7 years. Everyone who can afford a PS3 probably already has a PC and few people actually know (or what to know) what linux is.
