| justinian said: I kinda agree with the article. The others have caught up or surpass the wii. It's one thing going for it is no longer unique. MS has finally found a solution to rule the world. A "cctv" in the household that can recordrecognise your face and send the image to their databases. If the recent report of euro laws being pass to allow government officials to investigate the hard drive of any online PC ( this must be with MS's approval) are push through this year then be prepared for those images to end up in the governments database as well. Cool! MS took nitendo's inovation (and PS2's eyetoy) and came up with a winning (e3) formula. Kudos, if you are gonna copy something at least take it a step further. Sony just copied Nintendo but announced some good games. MS owned this E3 simply by creating a buzz. Brilliant. The big loser will is Nintendo. |
This would be true if the following conditions were true.
1. the device would be readily available soon after E3
2. killers games are shown for the device.
Even if both devices were released on time by next Spring, it would be almost a year and general consumers are not gonna remember them. Besides, there is no games shown for either devices that would attract the consumers to buy. At least when Wii launched with the "gimmick" control, it has Wii Sports to attract the consumers.
The more likely scenario is both MS and Sony would show the games that utilize the new devices in next year's E3. I think we can go through this all over again by then.
MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
