| FPSrules said: Sony didnt make a console for the elite. they just wanted to make the best system for the consumer, but they didn't know exaclty wat the consumer wanted at the time, neither did MS or nintendo. so they try to make the best system possible, wat they end making is the most powerful's but at wat cost now they know wat the consumer wants, a system that is afforable, with a variety of games. sony has one of these, but the other only they dont' have. which is why they are in 3rd, well at least for now. i personally doubt sony will go down this easy, they are too well established and by now they know they made mistakes and have admitted it. |
I disagree with your point, and agree with the OP's point. Sony made the PS3 for the gaming elite, they forgot everyone who bought the PS2 for a DVD-player with games, who eventually grew to love the games the PS2 offered. Now those consumers have moved to the wii, the newest system who caters their type of games to them. Nintendo KNEW what they were doing when they made the wii, Miyomoto stated himself
"If the DS had flopped, we might have taken the Wii back to the drawing board."
But the DS did NOT fail, instead they struck gold. They made a handheld system that can cater to the casual crowd, but the core group also highly enjoyed. Thus the wii we know today exists. Nintendo knew what they were doing with the wii, they knew what to expect, and their predictions paid off.
I also believe microsoft knew what they were going to do this generation, to a point. Their entire strategy seems to revolve around xbox live and expanding it, the original xbox had xbox live to a certain degree with success. Being successful with their online functionality in the 6th generation, they wanted to expand it in the 7th generation. Their strategy has changed a little bit from time-to-time. But if NXE means anything, it means they still seek to improve the online experience of the xbox live gamers. Parties? Netflix? Only the beginning.
