Sony out of the market = Good for everyone.
And I mean it.

Look at the war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray... good thing there is (at last) a winner (Blu-Ray).
As long as there is no clear winner, the mass market will never go on and adopt the new tech.

Now that there is only ONE HD MEDIUM for movies:

- Consumers buy Blu-Ray without fear.
- Blu-Ray sales are growing fast.
- Studios releases more movies on Blu-Ray
- The cycles goes on.

The same thing apply to gaming:
But...
There is no clear winner in the HD GAMING war.
People, instead of jumpin in, are waiting... and this hurts the gaming evolution.

Less sales, less devs profits, less ground-breakin barriers, less risks taken, more static evolution of the interactive entertainment.
One medium, Good for everyone.

Who cares if THE HD console stay at 400$ the whole generation.
People wants to invest in something that will last.
And for now, nobody knows where the HD gaming is going. Uncertain territories... no investments.

We need a winner as soon as possible.
For gamers... and for developers.

 

so...would it have been good for the marlet if Nintendo had pulled out of the console business with the gamecube? or MS with the origional Xbox?
