This is the first of a three part series where we discuss the advantages of each of the three video game console makers. Obviously, this first article is about Sony; here are six things the company has done brilliantly, six things that Microsoft and Nintendo should ripoff in an instant.
1. Build a Future-Proof Console
??? Nintendo sells the Wii at a profit. There will be 4x the number of PS3.If we ran the idea of the Wii 2 half way through he PS3 life. Then Nintendo(assumine simmiliar sales) will make twice the profit. Invalid argument. Though I will agree that buying less consoles would make me happier. I see the Wii2 coming out after 7 years.
2. Make a Less Restricted Downloadable Game Market
You don't play WiiWare games do you? World of Goo, Lost Winds? Good games don't need large size. Code is small. It's only art and audio that takes up space. Though personally I think the Wii would be better off with 2gb rather than 512mb. Then again this is something we will likely see in the Wii2.
3. Make Rechargeable Batteries the Standard
I think I would indeed like rechargable battery packs and charge stands bundled with the Wii. The Wii controller is the most advanceded wireless controller for consoles and thus uses up lots of power.
4. Implement Blu-ray
No thank you. MS is proving that even with HD the 9gb DL-DVD is holding it's own. I would however prefer to see the 16-32GB SD Flash cards used instead. If were talking about a new console in about 3 years. This is totally doable. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211245 this is a WORM. A ROM version would be far cheaper and easily made faster.
5. Make a More Media Friendly Console
This is a pure software issue and nothing much to do with hardware. The Wii Homebrew community has some really nice media features. If a commercial company with proper tools did some media software it could easily stand up. Then again the Wii is getting varias Japanese television and the british BBC shows. So It's a nice bonus, but not a nessitity.
6. Put a Hard Drive in Every Console
Your too caught up on the HDD and this links to the above number 2. Wii has no HDD but does have storage. Just increase it a bit.
