Sony had it "easy" when they were stealing segas thunder due to their deep pockets........... well sony lovers, time for a reality check...... Microsofts pockets are even deeper....... Not so nice when the shoe is on the other foot is it?

 

Now THAT was uncalled for. regardless if its true or not.

 

Sony coming in to the gaming world was uncalled for......... At least Sega and Nintendo had their own Development teams from day one and didn't rely on the likes of Namco and Konami to make them a success.

 

 That's a bit unfair. You can't expect a newly joining company to make as many or as good games as the two companies that have been doing it for a decade. Sony actually started making good games very fast.

What Sony did with the PS(1) was that they made the best hardware. They chose the right disc. That's the reason they won. It was simpler than the competition, and far easier to develop for.

The Ps2 wasn't really that much to brag about for Sony HW wise, but they were godly software wise there - maybe as good as Nintendo (and this is from a general perspective, not really my opinion).
