| D-FENS said: What's interesting is that this COULD [not saying it WILL] be the generation where Japan's pre-emenince is finally eclipsed. IF Microsoft plays their cards right, is willing to eat another price cut SOON, and goes gangbusters in NA and others, we could have the HD console leader with nothing but a sniff in Japan. Right now, PS3 is like a staggered heavyweight fighter. If MS could land one or two crushing blows, Sony would go down, no matter the Japan sales. Unfortunately, MS's footwork is lousy [RROD], and they just seem to want to clinch and hug [keeping with their own high price]. Slowly, Sony is getting its wind back, and if MS doesn't stop coasting, resting on the points its accumulated in the early rounds, Sony could very well scrape their way back into a split desicion victory. |
For some reason I feel like playing Fight Night after reading this....
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
