There are a few people who disagreed with me and you can argue all you want but I'm right, you're wrong. Deal with it. In many fields of business, image is important and that includes the video game market. Once a company loses it, it can take a long time to recover.
The Dreamcast was a great system with many excellent games but had trouble because of their past failures. Gamecube also was a great system but didn't do very well because both gamers and developers didn't head to their system nearly as much as the other two systems out at the time. This was because of the N64 not doing well and hurting their image. Nintendo reinvented their image with the Wii and it proved to be a success obviously.
So image does matter and no matter what some of you think, Sony does need to worry about their image. As I said before, Sont can't afford to so far behind and almost forgotten with the Wii dominating and the 360 really starting to pull away. Sony needs to get the PS3 back in the race. And as someone said to me about it not being that hard to figure, they should've asked themself that question since they have no understanding.
Software is what makes the company money. So while Sony would rather not lose money on console sales, they don't have much choice, do they? That is unless they like being a distant 3rd place.
I'll come up with something better eventually...
