A Few Things Sony needs to have for The PS4

[ShadowSoldier]

Now I don't know how you guys feel but if history repeats itself we should have another console generation within the next 2-3 years (2011-2013) and while we don't know how the world will look like with the recession but I would just like to start a conversation on different things Sony should and will need to include in order for their PS4 to be more successful then the PS3.

 

1. $299.99 LAUNCH PRICE- All Sony systems except the PS3 launched at $299.99. Sony needs to make sure the PS4 is at or close to this price point in order to make sure they hit the ground running.

2. Launch before or shortly after MS/Ninty's next console. The landscape of this gen might have been a little different if Sony didn't give that head start to MS but whats done is done. Time to make sure it doesn't happen again.

3.  2001 was the year that really allowed Sony's PS2 to gain steam world wide with the release of MGS2, FFX and GT3. I think this time around Sony needs to make sure that GT6/GT7 needs to launch day and date for the PS4 in order to gain an extra foothold for the PS4. Hell if you can't release date and day at least release it a year after the system launches and not 3.

4. Give the PSPGO option- Keep hard media but also give people the option to download the majority of their games just like the PSPGo

5. Don't bankrupt yourself. Sony would have been way more competitive if the PS3 didn't send them into the red as much as it did. Sony should recycle and upgrade most aspects of the PS3 and use it for the PS4. Keep costs down and consumer prices down.

6. Make Motion control an Option and NOT the Standard. While its a nice thing to have A Lot and I mean a lot of people would prefer to have the standard controller with the option to purchase a motion controller something like Eye Toy where gamers have the option and a set of games dedicated to take advantage of the motion controller while others are more traditional play-through.

 

This is all IMO of course
