Because the goal of the Playstation brand (this is why ken called MS his primary opposition in 1994) is an all in one media box that can be in the living room and can replace the pc. Look at all the additions...it is very PC like. The next iteration, assuming this did well and MS was not a true competitor would be even more so. But, the rules somewhat changed.
If Sony achieved its goal, MS would have less money going in to windows, which is its major cash cow. This is also why MS will spend so much to defeat Sony. Read my post above pls.
@skip: Don't forget sega vs nintendo back in the day. That was heated. If the internet was like it is today it would have been damn brutal. |
The PS brand is stupid then. Did they really think that, even if they did create a machine that looked like it could replace the PC., they would be able to sell enough to threaten MS? Also, did they relly think MS would stand idly by and let them do that? It's bad business and just goes to show how arrogant Sony is. However, that being said, as long as that arrogance doesn't effect me, and they continue to sell decent consumer level products, I most certainly will not shy away from them. (hey I had a sony walkman CD played that got dropped in water twice, got thrown around, and still worked.) Hoever, I don't see this same mentality from many on the Sony side. This thread adequetly proves my point.
