What part of my post gave you the impression I'm not currently pleased with the way Sony is? I specifically mention that them being in last place has gotten them back on track to what their priorities should have been in the first place, the gamers. Maybe your selective memory has blocked out the bad design decisions and PR choices of 2005-2006 in particular, but I know that would have continued onwards had they managed to get away with it. Since Sony has been in last place, the following things I like have happened that I do not believe would have happened had they been in first:

1. Rumble was put back in to the controller.
2. Unveiling games to release day has been shortened greatly overall.
3. The PS3 price has been lowered substantially.
4. Sony has tightened the 1st and 2nd party situation into a well oiled machine.
5. The PSN tries considerably hard to give us competitors' features and basically whatever we ask for.

These are all things I don't think Sony would have prioritized or even bothered with had they not been in the desperate situation they are in now. The same way that Sega's desperate situation with the Dreamcast brought out the best damn 2 years of Sega gaming ever, and the best console gaming at the time, the same may be able to be said in the future about the PS3 if they continue to rise to the occassion while under this immense pressure.

If you can't comprehend any of this for some reason, trying taking out the capitalizations and punctuations, maybe misspell a few words and try again. Use it for my first post also so you can finally get a handle on what I'm talking about.

 

 

That's an interesting perspective.

A little off topic, but... what do you think of Microsoft and Nintendo, from launch day to the present, Onyxmeth?

 

I'll PM it to you. I don't want to derail the topic.
