He said that fact alone speaks volumes. Well, what if you were an Olympic Gold Medal winner in "Running around the world" and you gave a retarded one legged kid that head start? Sony should have finished this race a long time ago, headstart or not. What happened was that Microsoft proved to be more competition than anybody expected them to be. Sony not finishing them off by now is what speaks volumes. |
The historic norm is NO company remains on top forever. If they manage things well enough, they stay in the game, and don't get out the way Atari and Sega did. Sony falling out of first is normal, not the exception. If staying on top were the norm, then Atari would still be about making consoles. And Blade Runner would of been an accurate protrait of the future:

In this case here, the Wii did what Sony didn't do, and Sony lost the first place crown. It is surprising Nintendo has done as well as it in the handheld console arena.
