Why are people acting like the PS3 losing even more market share is A-OK?

I honestly think the brand was crippled when Sony decided to exploit their loyal user base to win a format war. Most gamers were at least dissatisfied, and at most furious about the price tag they were being asked to pay. Enough to quash sentiment that is for sure. Further more it upset developers who were being asked to flip higher development costs. Sony came into this generation far too self centered. When you put your needs that far ahead of the needs of others you go beyond being symbiotic, and go right into being parasitic.

I honestly doubt that Sony can nurse the brand back to even a shell of its former self. So much damage has been done in the eyes of consumers, and Sony seems to lack the right mentality to endear itself back into the hearts of consumers and developers. A good name is hard won, and so easily destroyed. The first step Sony has to make is to apologize for what they did. That is simply not something they can do without. However they seem outwardly to not be repentant. They are glad about what they did. Which was basically fuck everyone else as long as they got what they wanted.

Worse then all that is that Sony has placed themselves in a lose lose proposition. To succeed next generation at the least they need to provide a cost effective console for all concerned. Both for gamers and for developers. To do so they need to use common architecture. The downside to this is that it will probably not be backward compatible. Which means in order to regain lost consumers they have to jack their most loyal consumers. That is why I tell most people if you have a 360 and a PS3 buy the game for the 360. The next Xbox will probably be backward compatible. The next PS will probably not be backward compatible. The result is one last cluster fuck for loyal gamers. Who cannot trade back to trade up. Talk about getting the shaft. 

Yeah, thats what i feel in E3 2006 conference, if anyone here watched the conference its all about SONY is bragging on how succesful the playstation brand was. There are no announced games only some of them, and most of these announced games are prerendered cutscees no gameplay. The 600 dollar price tag gets to me...

After I've seen the Nintendo E3 2006 conference and Ninty show some games real gameplay not prerendered this time I said to myself, "f**k the PS3, Im going to buy the 360 or the Wii instead! Of course, the 360 plan didnt really happened because of RROD and the price. Sorry i didnt reply sooner watching some COD WAW Wii vids, the Wii version gameplay is DEFINITELY better even on makin its not as chaotic as the PS360 versions even on makin. As long as players dont camp and glitch and camp at towers and roofs.
