Its amazing how quickly things change. Its ironic that hardware pricing taught the same lesson to Sony this time that former gen. taught Nintendo.
Sony products in general are overpriced and this is not the best position to be in when recovering from an economic disaster. They deserve what they get, especially after taking down Sega and almost taking down Nintendo.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
