| Borkachev said: Microsoft Worse Poor quality design / control allowing RROD If you consider that the console's quality was sacrificed in order to keep the price down and rush it out ahead of the competition, I think this was actually a very smart move. Microsoft has proven, just as Sony did last generation, that game consumers don't care about product quality. They care about price, marketing, and games. If you need to make sacrifices to secure these things, product quality should be the first thing to go. Is there any doubt that if Sony had put in a crap power supply and a faulty motherboard in order to sell the PS3 for $399/499 at launch they would be in a better position now? |
You might also consider how pissed off people get when they have to return their console 5 times because it keeps breaking.
And that it took two years for the 360 to become profitable to Sony's one. So who made the smarter decision there? (Again, I hate when people say the 360 is doing better then the PS3, ITS BEEN OUT TWICE AS LONG GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD, YEAR FOR YEAR THE PS3 IS DOING BETTER THAN THE 360)
