Really?
Sony has a big title that sells, and has a better sales record than the Halo series with Gran Turismo. That game will hit next year, and it will move some consoles, but Sony has proven for 2 generations a couple of big titles don't put you at the top.
What Sony has to do is just keep cool like they have this whole generation. Like they say, this is a marathon, not a sprint. The gameplan is set, and has been in place since day one. Start with the hardcore, and work your way out to the masses.
Next year Sony will be hitting the mass market hard with Gran Turismo, Motion Controls, Ape Escape, and more. They are placing their bets on Rockstar to once again hit it big with new comer Agent, which I believe is Rockstars first full fledged effort of this generation. Additionally, they are keeping the hardcore users happy with tons of great new features and services. The addition of 3D for movies and games, cross game chat, and cloud storage to name a few.
2010 will bring Sony's digital distrabution drive into full force with PS3 leading the way. A new subscription based model is being created for PSN to cover many new features, and give Sony additional cash flow for marketing, price drops, and software enhancments to the system.
I have said they same thing since November 17, 2006. Sony knows what they are doing. This race is not over, and this generation all of the rules have changed. This generation will be longer, and PS3 will pull through and blow the doubters away.
People talked a lot about Nintendo disrupting the market this generation. I have a differant idea. I believe Sony planned it out all along. They built a high end system knowing they could never steal the market day one due to a high enrty level. Instead they placed all of their bets on a combonation of differant things leading to this gen proceed much differant than any before it. Once PS3 sets in the thrown as the best selling console of all time, history will be written just how I stated it above.
Go ahead and laugh, call me crazzy, keep your minds closed. In 2 years we will look at the market and see just how much the landscape changed, and I bet I will be right again.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
