You fail to realize that consequence and risk are two different things......the ps3 and 360 are a natural progression of console systems of years past , the wii isnt. It tried to innovate how we play console games , while the 360/ps3 only focused on adding a new shiny coat of paint in the graphics department with ZERO innovation to gaming.
Sony did not risk for the sake of innovation......they are just paying the consequenses of their poor business decisions thats it.
|
Maybe i've got mixed up on it then, but are you saying that losing $200 per console on launch... Wasn't a risk to Sony or PlayStation?
And i dont get why everyone keeps bringing up innovation.
As i said in this post, Jack never mentioned innovation. He just said Sony take more risks and still deliver. Which is true.

Risks are decisions made with unforseen outcomes, whether good or bad.
We all know what would happen to a console priced at $600, therefore it wasnt a forseen outcome and therefore it is not a risk.
|
We know NOW what would happen, although there have been past consoles in the $600-700 price range that saw NO WHERE NEAR the sales the PS3 did.
|
But the PS3 will see NO WHERE NEAR the sales the ps2/1 and along with weaking the brand name it definetely was a consequence and a big one at that.
|
Therefore proving Carl's point of it being a BIG risk.
|
No that isnt proving anything...except what we've already known $600 systems wont sell, making sony's decision a poor business decision instead of a risk.
|
Poor business decisions still involve taking risks. It doesn't make the reality of it any different, just the outcome. Some risks have consequences and rewards
Case in point: Wii-Mote = risk that was a success! $600 console (multi-media hub pushing a new media) = A risk with severe consequences. Just because it didn't go in their favor =/= it wasn't a risk.
|
Which goes back to a previous post , we knew the outcome of a $600 system would only be hurting the company.....its not a risk if we already know the outcome already.
