So, Sony shall continue to go down the route of just producing consoles for however long they want...

Now this is all speculation, but does this mean a ludicrously high price for NGP? Look here:

"I think the NGP needs time to mature and get adopted by users. So, for the time being, both platforms will coexist,"

What does "time to mature" mean exactly? Does it mean that the price is high so they don't see it selling well? Are Sony waiting for a price-drop?

possibly.

They did the same thing with the PS3, and it worked well for the PS2, but the high price and lack of games library hurt the PS3 in early years, coupled with a late release.

uhhh that's the point dude, the ps3 had a weak library of games, high price BECAUSE it was in it's early years, just like the ps2 when it released with the ps1 still in the market.

Will Sony do it again? Or have they learnt that great graphics high price=lower sales?

and who da fuck cares psp so how much? oh I forgot the only way to ever be considered to have sold well is to outsell Nintendo, it's clearly the only reason anyone would make a handheld

or have you people not learned yet that Sony has not, does not, and will not, give a fuck about the "expanded market"

Bolded for ease

I made a thread about how something should be judged to be a success, I'm only commenting on the article and adding my view...

If Sony wants to be competitive, they NEED to care about the expanded market...it's the only way they can survive

no they don't, the ps1 and ps2 didn't give a shit about the expanded market and they are the only home consoles in gaming history to have dominated their respective markets, did the wii ever have 75% market share, did the wii ever disrupt 3rd party game development for competing console, has the wii ever slowed the gains of the competing console (how big are it's yoy decreases by comparison?) answer NOPE, all the wii has ever done was appeal to the "expanded market" which has been VERY successful IN IT'S OWN RIGHT

All consoles have a weak library of games at lauch, of course. But you should push the games you have at launch...

as you siad still left to be seen, but given the rather easy development for the device and almost universal praise for developers I'd wager we are looking at a good launch come E3.

At any rate, it's too early to speculate. We know next to nothing about it, after all!

tell that to all the DOOOOMERS out there lol
