It really explains everything I've had in my head that I've had a hard time getting into words about Sony and gen 5 - 6. |
What I find wrong about that video is this -
He talks about how Sony lucked out for the PSone and PS2... That's why they did so well. Yet when he gets to the current gen, he pretty much says the 360 has lucked out due to FPS becoming so large and that Nintendo lucked out by risking the new motion control idea and trying to get literally everyone playing games.
He then obviously goes on to list the problems PS3 had at launch. Pricetag, Games available, Caring more about Blu-ray than the PS3 itself. No good decisions were made with the PS3 launch. None at all. PS1 and PS2 were filled with good ideas and great decisions.
It's not just luck that Sony had. With the PS1/PS2 they actually cared and splashed money out on the developers and all that crap. They also didn't have a stupidly priced system with no games at launch of course...
It could be easily spun around... He says Sony had easy competition in a stubborn giant that had made stupid mistakes (Nintendo). Now look at it this generation. Could easily enough say Nintendo (and MS) have had relatively easy competition due to the giant that made stupid mistakes (Sony).
I guess next gen we will see if Sony have learned from the mistakes made, or if it really is just luck...
