| Zucas said: Sony's not going anywhere. A popular handheld device along with a brand that is still showing to be popular on consoles. You just don't kill a brand like that without another go. Now if something similar happens in the generation after then maybe they'll start thinking otherwise but there will be a PS4. Sony is just going to have to rethink the next generation. They will probably release something that isn't, spec wise, that much more powerful than the PS3. But they'll boast some new features among other things to sway buyers. Really its MS and Nintendo who will have more radical changes with their next systems but mainly because they have more room to work with than say Sony. They'll be in positions to make those more radical changes. Not saying Sony will play it safe, but from my perspective they are going to play next generation a little safer. Nothing radical like Nintendo did. |
Radical changes such as Avatars with pets and motion controls?
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
