| Shane said: Sony don't seem all that concerned. They realize there's still time. Historically, the big guns have come out 1-2 years after the system's release. They never saw the need to launch with a killer app. Every third party game can't be bad, but quality or not, people buy Nintendo systems for Nintendo games. Always have. Always will. Granted, this has been much more pronounced during the past decade. |
If they aren't concerned then they haven't done their homework, its very hard to recapture momentum in Japan, if not impossible, the japanese tend to stick with one console
