Sony should sit the next generation out!

Sony had to react. The Dreamcast was a good Console and it was Certainly stronger then the Saturn. ( Not Sales wise but the potential of it especially in the West compared to Saturn)

Sony HAD to react. if they would have released the PS2 1 or even 2 years later. The people have become sick of waiting and bought a DC. I bought one on the beginning my first Sega Console because it was good. And it was far more popular then Saturn. But everyone was waiting for PS2 because the PS1 has dominated the market as never seen before. And the PS1 made the adults play games which was also never done before. Thats why the newly found gamer waited eagerly for PS2 but they wouldnt wait forever.

18 months later the people would have went all to DC. It got enough Games and it had a appeal that the Saturn had not.

Not counting the DC is just ignoring the Facts. It was the last Shot of Sega but thats not a reason not to count Sega.

And I swear the WII will have a successor before Sony. That dont means that the WII will be discountinued. The Wii proofed that a Console with extremly inferior graphics can be first. The WII HD will be just an attack to the Hardcore market. The WII will stay in the game as long as its possible.

The market has changed with the Wii infact Sony and MS are not forced to release another Console before Nintendo does it. The question is WHY SHOULD THEY.

What could a new Console offer except from better Graphics. Nothing ! And the better Graphics of PS3 and Xbox 360 could not stop the Wii.

Sony has just to react to Microsoft. And I doubt that Wii HD will be much more powerful then the PS3 because Nintendo learned a lesson. To be successful you dont have to have the strongest Hardware.

MS and Sony will release a Console if the oppenent released one. Nintendos market cant be conquered with Graphics just the traditional market reacts to Graphics.

Nintendo has a monopoly in their market there is noone who could provide you with the Nintendo Experience.

As long as the Wii dont show weakness (what it already has, we will see it after Holidays)
they dont have to release a Console. If the WII sales really declined significantly this year we can say for sure there will be a WII HD in 2011-2012.

And Sony will react if MS made another XBOX.

The Consoles wont be 10times more powerful then the Precedessors. They will evolve slightly. And the Life Cycles will be longer from now on until the day the Lifecycles will be forever because the improve of the Power of a Console wont result in better Graphics. Wii HD will live longer then WII and the PS4 Xbox720 will both play the major role 10 years atleast.


Infact the PS3 can stay long on the market and aslong as MS dont release a Console Nintendo will be the first one.

You said right now HD DVD cant compete with Bluray. Infact HD DVD has died long ago.
But I think you have a misconception in your thoughts.

You think that Bluray equals Graphical Quality and as long as a Competitor comes up with a "better" format then Bluray. Sony cant be topped graphically.

But the problem is Bluray has not much to do with the Graphics of a Videogame. Its just more storage this CAN be better for graphics and is good for HD Movies but infact you can make Games on DVD with much better Graphic then on Bluray. Bluray is just the storage device.

So MS dont need to match Bluray to be better graphically then Sony they just need to make a stronger Hardware. And Sony has no monopoly to Bluray Nintendo and MS can use it too if they want. And they will use it for sure MS sure with the Xbox 720 Nintendo maybe with WII HD (2)
