| NeoRatt said: Sony hasn't helped themselves at all this generation. Their were many missteps along the way. They included: - The product was brought out before it was proven and ready for developers. - I don't think they realized how to make a network for millions of games let alone provide it for free - They marketed games before they knew what they could really deliver - They didn't get their costs down fast enough - They over estimated consumer's demand for a new video format and what that format needs to cost. - They thought since they one last round that this round would be automatic when they came into the market. All is not lost for Sony, they have the opportunity to make things better, but, they have a lot of work to do if they want to get there. I don't think anyone can write Sony off this generation, but they are coming much close to that time now. 2009 is do or die until next generation. |
Sony never over estimated Blu Ray. They forced you to buy it if you wanted a PS3, that way your purchase of the PS3 would be justified in helping Blu Ray beat out HD-DVD. The rest sounds good.
