| Lurker said: Nintendo certainly should not underestimate Sony. Sony has a history of taking Nintendo concepts and beating them at their own game. |
Sony actually has a history of manufacturing cheaper consoles, which sell much more than the competition. This is the reason why your observation is false. Sony didn't take anything further, they just sold to more people in more markets.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
