You guys and your hopes for the creativity of Sony. It's almost too funny. Show me proof that Sony even gives a damn about pushing gaming technology to the next level? Don't prove to me that they will push multimedia to the next level....but gaming. Ok....start now.
Playstation.
The first system yeah...but after the first gen, it was obvious Sony didn't give a damn about taking gaming to the next level (The same goes for Microsoft). Sony pissed their pants when they knew the Wii was going to be a motion sensing system. The Sony acted like their new Six Axis controller was new technology during the launch, when it was just a nicer looking rip off of a 3rd party product from Pelican for tilt gaming with Warhawk back in the PS1 days. They couldn't even get the rumble to work on the Six Axis. Why couldn't they just ask Pelican nicely "How did you do it?"
Listen, their issues with patent infringment and Sony pissing their pants when they heard about Wii is not athe topic at hand. You said give me proof that Sony wants to push gaming to the next level and actually gives a damn about advancing gaming technology.
PlayStation.*
The Playstation pushed nothing. It was what Sony did that made the Playstation worth a damn in acquiring all of those 3rd party titles, while Nintendo relied mainly on first party with the 64. Using a CD for Playstation was only right up the alley and isn't by stretch of the imagination pushing gaming in any direction at all. If you want to see the only company that pushed gaming in a new direction, it was Nintendo. Sony and Microsoft can only add to the graphics and power....thats about it. Your idea of pushing gaming to the next level has more to do with hardware potency...rather than what you can do with a system.
