Sony is one of, if not the most important company in the history of gaming.


However, because of the direction they are pushing the market in currently I believe the industry would be best without them at the moment.

umm, why? they came about in what.. 98(ish), whenever the ps1 came out. they followed the same basic structure of gaming, then did the same strucure for 2, and 3. why is that important? if you even say because they first used discs then your wrong. that was a gimick, it was going to happen for all next consoles with or without them starting it. so why are they so important?


the first two reasons i can think of from the top of my head:

1) They opened up the market for the 18+ crowd

2) They single-handedly developed the entire European market.

 If that's not expanding the gaming market, I don't know what is. Sony has grown the industry the way Nintendo now wishes to do with the Wii.



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
