Also because they view them primarily for children, most doting parents will purchase the cheapest product for their kids (Wii?).

- According to a recent survey 89% of people 15-35 play video games and even 23% of 65+. That may have been true 10 years ago but not now. Pure opinion. 'sides, parents generally buy whatever the kids ask for. GC was the cheapest most kid friendly system last gen. Look at how that turned out.

All of this misplaced focus made Sony lose developers. Game creators all walked off right into Microsoft’s soft, warm, huggy arms and massive budget. Sony sat there, oblivious, praying that their super-powerful home entertainment monolith succeeded, eyes shut, covering their ears while their empire crumbled.
