Sony makes RIDICULOUS comment

[Rpruett]

There is nothing in this article related to Sony being 'arrogant'. It's laughable in every possible way to even suggest it.

Sony the company does take 'more' risks than Nintendo the company. The fact that some people are debating this is hilarious. The two largest risks that Nintendo has taken in the past two generations were (Beefy Specs of the Gamecube and Motion Controls of the Wii).

Other than that, What truly 'risky' behavior has Nintendo engaged in?





Sony has introduced a new storage medium in every new console (PS1 CD, PS2 DVD, PS3 Blu Ray).

Sony has constantly sold systems at a loss. (Somehow I doubt that 250$ Wii with essentially Gamecube guts was coming at a loss for Nintendo).

Sony has constantly pumped out new First Party IPs and really has rarely fallen back on just one singular franchise generation after generation. Which is why people struggle identifying a 'Sony Mascot'. This is a risky strategy in many regards because it relies on a wide array of good new games being constantly created. (Nintendo on the other hand you can always expect a Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, 7 other Mario related games).

Sony is moving forward with 3D gaming and exploring future avenues involved with it.

Sony is moving forward with motion controls (Which albeit a smaller risk than Nintendo's original risk, is still a risk).

Sony (Along with MS) has pushed the HD envelope in an environment that wasn't prepared or totally ready for it. This is risky. (Again, Nintendo played it 'safe' and remains the only standard definition console).

Sony constantly robs Peter to pay Paul. They will take plenty of risks on games, price cuts, etc even at the detriment of other areas of their business.




I can only laugh at the people trying to spin this as arrogance as Sony. It's actually one of the more factual things you could possibly read from them. Now Sony being more or less Risky than Microsoft might actually be a compelling argument.
