PS4 will destroy Xbox720 and Wii U.Microsofts inferior tech.Sony has been the best gaming company to date never failing at giving their fans what they want!


Yeah, Sony gives their fans everything they want ... except (of course) the 75+ Million PS2 owners who wanted an affordable system

If you couldnt afford a PS2 at launch day your just poor.I got my PS2 bundles with 2 Dualshock controllers.Jak&Daxter,Gran Turismo 3 Spec edition and I forgot the last game.I got 2 8MB memory Cards the Red&Blue ones.PS2 is probably the most affordable system created bundles with Great Games.

PS2 didn't have an affordability problem which is why it sold over 140 Million units, the majority of which were sold after the PS2 was $200 or less ...

When they failed to meet a core demand (affordability) of over 50% of their userbase with the PS3 and lost these users, how can you make the claim that "Sony has been the best gaming company to date never failing at giving their fans what they want!"

If they make as big of a mistake with the PS4 and focus on a niche audience again, the PS4 will have difficulty passing 20 Million units sold.

I honestly dont know what your trying to state but, im just going to say this and take this as a SERIOUS statement by me.If the PS3 at launch was $300 it would be sitting at atleast, ATLEAST 70million units sold.FACT almost 9 of my friends who game with me on XBL said they didnt buy a PS3 because of the $600 price point thats 9 of my friends imagina everyone who loves the PS2 who didnt buy it because of the $600 price point.Well all im saying is that if the PS3 was launched at about $300-$350 dollars it wouldve sold like hot cakes.I didnt buy my PS3 at launch and im a playstation fan its because im not paying $600 for something that didnt have any games at the time it wasnt greatly marketed but, now the PS3 is the best gaming console that gives you your moneys worth.


My point can be summed up by the following question:

If "Sony has never failed to give fans what they want" (your words) why did your 9 friends buy an XBox 360 rather than a PS3?

If "Sony has never failed to give fans what they want" one would assume that every PS2 owner would have upgraded to the PS3. The fact that (roughly) 2/3 of PS2 fans did not upgrade to the PS3 is evidence that Sony has failed spectacularly in giving the fans what they wanted. The prediction that Sony will dominate because they have "never failed to give fans what they want" is horribly flawed being that the PS3’s relative poor performance is due to Sony making a significant mistake and failing to give their fans the affordable system they wanted.

Ah, I agree 100% with you but, like I was saying before if the PS3 never launched at that price point it wouldnt be in 3rd place in sales.Some of my family members cousins were even had high expectations for the PS3 but once they saw the price they said NO.So I agree that Sony did fail there.Im hoping with the PS4 they dont make the same mistake.
