| fooflexible said: What bothers me is how extreme most of the views are. We are not even a year into this generation for Sony, and people are already declaring them dead. While on the other hand Crazzyman here predicts the currnet last place company to OWN everything. Why can't people say, Sony is most likely alright because of the power they wield and the franchises they will be bringing to the table, yet, they clearly have displayed a lack of early dominance showed in the last generation, and seems unlikely to see figures even close to it's predeccessor. Views that stray far from that on either side are rather upsurd, they are the thoughts more of love and hatred then raw logic, and a level head observation of the current market status. While you can be a fanboy and be right, I just want to urge people to ground themselves a little more in the current situation. It's quite hard to call Sony dead, when Nintendo was in a worse position with the N64 and they're clearly doing fine now. And it' hards to pretend Sony will kick everyones butts when no one with sales as low as theirs came back to kick anyones butts. I don't mind a degree of optimism or pesimism, but some people are down right crazy(no pun intend...CrazzyMan) |
Well said. While I love to mock the PS3 a bit, I think it will be fine in the long run, as will Sony.
As it stands now, 2008 should be a damned good year for the PS3, assuming they don't lose any more exclusives. LittleBigPlanet, MGS4, and FFXIII will all be monster sellers next year.
It's just unfortunate for Sony that their lineup is lacking for 2007 while the 360's is so strong. But thus far, the 360s lineup in 2008 doesn't look spectacular at all (though there is still plenty of time). Most of their big franchises are blowing their wads this year, leaving not a lot left over for next.
