Top dowm sirely exists but i dont think sonu is currently able to deliver it. Ms probably is capable but they loathe the indie devs and small games. On the other hand thier konect games do reflect the quality of their beand...
i mean ive been talking about the playstation suite idea for a few uears now and it jist doeant seem like they can handle these kinds of new ideas.
Not extending their contract with thaygamecompany is a rwflection of this.

I don't doubt that top-down disruptions exist, but they are generally rarer than the reverse approach, because they are harder to pull off.

The question I am asking is more if Sony branded games really have what it takes to threaten Nintendo, especially because Sony usually puts their weakest teams on such projects. And let's suppose Nintendo gears up in the next 18-24 months and supplies the downmarket with some appropriate games, what chance does Sony have at this point? Does Sony have a trump card?

No, they really don't. I mean, possibly, possibly playstation suite is set out to change that, but they need to catch up and fast.

Vita's main strengths right now is its 3g and apps. Its main weakness is not being a phone. Vita is Sony's counterattack and while they may be able to expand horizontally, ie; expand their portable base to include more console gamers, this is not a great move. It's a cautious one, and one that in the end may result in complete failure.
