| HappySqurriel said: While this may offend some people on this site, Sony's biggest mistake this entire generation has been to focus almost entirely on the wishes of the vocal minority of gamers who hang out on gaming websites ... Certainly, Sony has produced many great games this generation but if you want chart topping success you really need to target the masses who are not well represented on gaming sites. |
I wouldn't say that's the root of the issue. Close, but not quite there.
Sony's bigger problem is that they seem to be approaching their general publishing strategy in a matter of "we should make x to fit y demographic" when that doesn't work quite as well in gaming as it does in the other multimedia enterprises Sony has a hand in. In gaming, priority must be given to the megahits
The root of the matter is that Sony has not quite figured out (or just adapted to the changes of a third party parity environment that dictate) that console sales are driven by their software. Sony's strategy seems designed to satisfy an existing base of PS3/P/Vita owners, and they are not, as a publisher, really trying to actually sell their own consoles
