Wait a second, is that Sony's plan? To attack Micrsoft's fanbase? Honestly, if they're going to attack anyone's fanbase any logic sense would lead you to Nintendo's "expanded audience". Hell, they could even find their own special niche, but hoping games would take 360's fanbase is a terrible bet. Sony's not getting out of this rut anytime soon that's for sure.

 

You bring up an interesting point. Why has nobody else decided to try and go after the casual audience? I mean MS even has a cheaper console, it would seem logical to try and steal at least some of that market. If nothing else than to build a base for the next gen which I have no doubt will be more casual-centric (because it sells).

 

This would seem like an interesting point at first but you have to consider that this so called casual audience has already picked their console. I doubt "attacking MS' fanbase" is Sony's plan but if they could appeal to the 360 fanbase and have the average 360 only owner want a PS3 too then that makes sense. What other way to appeal to the 360 fanbase than with a shooter? I mean isn't that suppose to be what the 360 crowd is know for, playing shooters? I would think that there a lot more 360 owners that would like to play Killzone 2 than Wii owners. 360 owner raises eyebrows for Killzone 2, Wii owner doesn't give a shit.
