Can somebody please explain me how this is a slap in the face to Sony?? I don't get it...
|
its a slap in the face because not only can MS charge for what should be free( according to some people), but they can increase the fee for it and people will still pay. Of course that is because its such a great service (at least in my opinion, worth every penny even after the increase.
|
Sony, Nintendo or any other company "can" do what ever they want. They just dont think it would be a wise business decision.
|
No, any company can only do what its customers want. How many ps3 owners will pay $50 a year to play online? How many would jump ship to the 360 than. Sony is still beholden to its stock holders, they have to turn profit or their stock holders will change things. They think its a bad decision cause they know they would loose customers.
|
Sorry but once again your wrong. CAN means is able to, Sony CAN easily issue a monthly fee, even fi the customers wont play online anymore. WOULD they, now thats a different story.
Get your words right.
|
No they are not able to. As you said, they thought it would be a bad business decision, ie they would not gain asmuch as they would loose, so they decided to go for free online, and advertised it that way. So they can't, especailly now that they took that stance and advertised free on line. Now there hands are tied, if they started charging now people could sue for false advertising. They are stuck where they are at until their next system when they charge for online right off the bat.
|
Once again you are wrong, you are saying they CAN'T do it. That means that it is totally impossible and even if the world was gonna explode killing everyone, they still couldn't.
Once again, GET YOUR WORDS RIGHT.
|
Again, legaly they can't. Business model wise they can't. If they could, why are they missing out on a billion dollars a year? ( I believe that is the revenue brought in by live last year) Next sytem they put yes they can, but for now sorry their hands are tied by the decisions they have made. Sony is not a person but an internation corporation and they have to abide by consumer rights laws set up in every nation, which include fals advertising, such as free to play online. Same reason they had to do refunds for some people for removing other os.
http://xbox360.gamespy.com/articles/110/1104553p1.html (1 billion in revenue 65% estimated profit)
edit: They can't because as a business it would cost them more to do it right now than they would gain, and as a corporation beholden to its shareholders they would not let it happen. Sony has to turn profits on their investments.
|
Once again, they CAN, but they wont.
It doesn't matter if it goes against the law or anything else, they CAN still do it no?
Can you break the law? Yes, you can that doest mean you will, because it will turn out for the worse.
If you can give me one reason why, if all the Heads of SONY, decided that they would start using a monthly subscription on PSN, They couldn't do that, then please do. And that does not include, its breaking the law, its against their business model, because they can still do it, its just they would be in trouble.
