Oh, also, for how I'd save the Playstation 3 from utter doom:
- Don't drop the price unless it's profitable. The Playstation 3 MUST make money on every console sold. Rather than making big $50-100 drops every year, drop it by $25 when it's convent.
- Scrap the unprofitable, and stupid blockbusters. Although the Playstation 3 was built with power in mind, Sony is losing a lot of cash for it (they aren't selling well). Rather, focus on building a stronger 1st party base of smaller, more Nintendo-like titles. Even MS is doing a better job with Lips and Scene It (LBP would be the precursor for this line of development).
- Work on building a stronger BC library of online titles, similar to what Microsoft is doing with Xbox Originals. Every Sony-published or 1st party game from the PS1 and PS2 era need to be available online - This would give Sony a great revenue stream....And could also port the titles to the PSP as well.
- Continue to support the Playstation 3 with titles as long as possible - Make it 'forward compatible' with online offerings of the PS4 titles.
The overall goal would be to ensure profitability. It may get hammered in the console race, but at least it would give the Playstation brand name a solid platform for profits.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
