Sega is more of a jinx to Sony. Seriously if you want the PS3 to do well having the creator of the Dreamcast sound off on the consoles behalf is a horrific omen. You would want to distance yourself from the very name as much as humanly possible. After all you do not want people even thinking about that failed console when they are talking to you about your under performing console. They might draw parallels. These two consoles have so much in common as is. Except initially the Dreamcast was more successful.

That said I would just like a real rational explanation as to exactly how Sony can accomplish this feet. Sometimes I feel like I am six years old again asking a Sunday school teacher exactly how Jesus walked on water. Nope I really did not buy it then. Just like I do not believe in inexplicable come from behind victories. Someone has to do something really wrong, or someone has to do something really right. In this case it seems that Sony needs a lot of both to happen.

The two competitors have so many advantages while Sony has so many flaws. Microsoft has the substantially better library covering all genres, and has the dominant exclusives in many of them. Nintendo has the cheaper more casual friendly console. Sony is neither casual friendly nor is it hardcore enough to compete on even ground with the 360. Further more it is the most expensive console, and now it looks like it will not even support backwards compatibility beyond the first ten million units produced.

Worse yet the logic always seems to pivot around a few exclusive titles that supposedly we all want to spend four hundred dollars to play. Usually ignoring the fact that the other consoles are going to have an equal number of high quality games. That gave me a idea
