Am I the only one worried that Sony could do a huge mistake with the Arc ?

Dude, relax , just wait and see how the darn thing works before you blow a gasket, it may all be for nothing, Sony is not that dumb to spend all this money on technology to bring out a device that no one wants and does not work well, not going to happen , RELAX

BETAMAX!!!

 

Oh wait, did you not hear me?

 

BETAMAX!!!

Betamax worked excellent, though

I won't argue that, but what was said was: Sony is not that dumb to spend all this money on technology to bring out a device that no one wants and does not work well

And noone wanted it, as VHS was "better" for the consumer

And Excellent depends on who you asked, VHS did everything better than Betamax did, the only real difference was the form factor of the cassettes :)

you still comparing apples to oranges

I don't see how?

It was like Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD as well, that one really could have went either way as well, just Sony got a couple more studios than Toshiba, then buh bye.

BD was the better one imo, but a lot of people liked HD-DVD - as it was cheaper

First you yell BETAMAX as an example for what?  "device that no one wants and does not work well"

i argued that it did work well, and you agreed.

but you sell me your opinion on why vhs was "better" as a fact, well, my opinion is that betamax was the superior format and vhs won because it was "cheaper" for the industry, and thus it was "better" for the customer. but i digress.

in your next argument you bring up HD DVD VS Bluray, the complete opposite case, where quality won over the cheaper model, regardless  why that happened.

yet still i have no idea why any of this would compare to the arc, as the ark is not a system, its an accessory. neither do i believe sony has spent too much money in its development, as it is practically put together from existing technology (motion sensors from the sixaxis, and the PSeye)

but that still is besides the point, the truth is, i have no idea what you even argue about at this point, but maybe it is may fault, maybe i should have made my point clearer from the beginning:

 

APPLES!!!

 

Oh wait, did you not hear me?

 

ORANGES!!!
