1) It seems that Netflix on PS3 is more of a move from Netflix, rather than SONY. Sony are supporting their own Video store on PSN, so I'm thinking SONY are probably getting some sort of Royalty fee payment out of the movies sold by Neflix on PS3.
2) Said it before and I'll say it again. THe PSPGO isn't a fuckin relaunch. It's SONY giving customers another option. One that's clearly a more profitable one for them. If it was a relaunch, the PSP3000 wouldn't be here.
3) The PS3 was made to establish new technology for future projects [also ones including the PS brand]. It was made to help IBM's Cell, Rambus' XDR and BDA's Blu-Ray to gain some earlier ground. AND IT's BEEN WORKING. Bluray won the format war and is expanding well. Major manufacturers like Toshiba and a few others are looking at, manufacuring or already selling Cell based computers and home electronics like HDTV's. not sure what's going on in XDR front. New tech means new development tactics developers had to use. It's not harder, just different. Many dev's have been saying this. There are just a few dev that don't want to learn new dev tactics and just go with the the familiar 360/PC layout and claim it's because the PS3 is too much work.
4) MS are the only ones charging for online. SONY's revenue from ads, PSStore and Royalty fees. Free Online is also considered one of the major advantages to owning a PS3 over a 360, which helps to bring in customers.
5) We still have quite some time before the controller launches... don't freak just yet.
Everything you mentioned has both positives and negatives to it. Some can be seen as advantages or disadvantages. Depends on what SONY plans to do, which you don't know...

Nope. He is not the only person. I just didn't wanna participate in this long flamebait argument. Most ppl here are unwilling to change change point of view or listen. So why waste my time? Thank you for being a voice of reason. Its not like Sony could have predicted a worldwide recession or the fact that Microsoft and Nintendo would actually advertise aggressively this generation.
1. Some people on this board call BR a failure. If it is then wouldn't it make sense for Sony to compete via DD. PSPGo proves they aren't against the idea. I guess Sony just can't win racing to please people or not.
2. I think the PSPGo will be 199 starting next fiscal year. After they make a little bit of extra profit this holiday. They can reintroduce a 32GB model for 249. I think Sony is looking at Apples model and trying to effectively imitate with future PSP releases.
3. If Sony abandons even XDR and Blu-Ray if they continue to use the cell processor for future playstation products they ensure easy BC and save costs getting familiar with a new architecture. If only PSP2 and PS4 use a cell they probably save tons of money in the long run.
4. Sony has a tradition of free online play starting with some experiments on the PS and it's PS2 games before xbox was even on the scene. I'm going to laugh when the 360 is 99 and people are paying half the price of the system just to play games online with their friends on it.
5. Microsoft started advertising Natal too early in my opinion. Sony and Microsoft should have waited for the last minute reveal like Nintendo and their controller.
