So this thought just popped in my head tonight and I had to get your take on it.
Do you think Sony has screwed it up for themselves in reguards to the next gaming system? I mean think about it, they released this ultra powerful system with capabilities far exceeding any other console on the market. I don't know that next gen will see MS or Nintendo making a console that matches the raw power of the PS3. If that is the case, then what does Sony do? I think everybody has learned that making a console that vastly outweighes the competition is good for nobody...with the exception of fanboys and their mindless chanting and dick measuring.
It drove away many devs because it was too hard and costly to develope games for.
It drove away consumers because the only way Sony could afford to launch the console was at a muc h higher price point than the competition.
It drove away gamers because multiplats looked the same (or even worse in some cases) as the Xbox 360's games, this was due to the fact that it just wasn't worth the time or money to make multiplat games utilize the PS3 better.
It cost Sony millions which they are still trying to recoup.
There is no doubt that the PS3 is a technical powerhouse, and I suspect it may be way ahead of it's time. But now Sony has raised the bar, people will expect a n even better console next gen, and if Sony provides it, we will see a recap of this gen. Sony has put themselves in between a rock and a hard place, on one hand, they cannot afford to build a console that is vastly superior to the competition, on the otherhand, they cannot produce a console that is inferior to the one that they currently have on the market.
Your thoughts please???
