| Leonidus said: Are you serious. Playstation, nomatter what you want to believe is an amazingly strong brand name. What other console brand do you know could that could easily sell 21M units without ever getting lower than $399 and launching at $600. Exactly. The Playstation brand has sold like 300M consoles worlwide, everyone knows what a Playstation is and Sony aren't going to destroy that. I dont even know why I wrote that, you'l probably just ignore my post and dwell on the posts that agree with you. |
Playstation WAS a strong brand before the launch of the ps3....it is losing market share and sales every day, while simultaneously losing money. The worst combination imaginable for sony.
The future for sony in gaming looks very shaky at best.
Don't fool yourself, sony is not a charity for gamers - Sony will destroy the playstation gaming division without a second thought if doesn't become profitable soon.
21 million is console sales is PATHETIC considering its predecessor's sales.
The ps3 costs so much because it is supposed to have more value and more worth, appearently MOST gamers DO NOT think it is worth the price......and sales prove this without a doubt.
Sony messed up BIG TIME & if microsoft would have BRIBED WARNER BROS 500 million to back hd-dvd exclusively, sony would be out of the gaming business a long time ago.
