| Killiana1a said: Sony working alongside Nintendo is a loser move. If you have the stronger position, stronger company, then collaboration with your competitors is a loser because they will profit off of your hard work. Reading between the lines, Sony is in deep trouble if they feel the need to work alongside a company whose systems they thrashed in sales during the PS1 and PS2 era. We may have no PS4 after all if and IF Sony keeps Kaz Hirai whose ideas for making the PS4 a cutting edge gaming console will push the PS4 to a $699 and $799 respectively, then they will have no one except a bunch of vain "My system costs more than yours" Scott Alexander wannabes purchasing it. |
Sony is no longer the top dog. They had a bully position, but Nintendo took it from them. You have a number of Sony partisans who grew up on the PS3, but with the 3DS, the technical high ground has been taken by Sony.
Sony had something with the original Playstation, which was a system that did polygons superior, and was easy to code for. They caught lightning in the bottle with DVD, and the PS2 being harder to code for. Now with the PS3, they have hit the wall here, with the big deal being grabbing second, and they are playing catch up.
As of now Sony can't use a bully position on top to be able to get what it wants. So it ends up sounding like this.
