Sony didn't want to be first, to begin with.

They wanted to get a slow start, get a small userbase, and then cut costs and reduce the price. There are a few things, however, that they did not foresee:

1) The Wii was popular
2) Microsoft was WAY richer than them
3) The financial crisis.

 

oh yeh they definetly wanted a slow start . . .

heads rolled over it, its definetly what they wanted

 

Who knows, maybe heads rolled because they were expecting a slower start and then that first bill for cost came in and they were like "wtf? Why aren't we selling less? the console is ***** 600$!"

jk

 

i can picture the board meeting a few months in:

exec "the bundle is doing well actually, people love back compatibility!'

boss "fuck you.  number 1, youre fired.  number 2, who here can get rid of back compatibility . . . wait my phones ringing"

client "can i double my ps3 order?"

boss "fuck you!"
