Best and worst business decisions that Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony made

[coolestguyever]

Nintendo Best:

- Tapping into "Casual" market
- Idea of Motion controls
- Marketing
- $250...Nuff said

Worst:

- Not making/shipping enough consoles causing supply constraints
- Little 3rd party support, although they seem to have a lot of Ubisoft support

Sony Best:

- Helping Blu Ray win the HD "war" by using it in their PS3's
- Keeping to the 10 year PS2 plan (PS2 is still selling okay)
- Getting some great 3rd party support
- Price Cuts

Worst:

- $600...Nuff Said
- Took a while to get some great games
- Having 4 different models confused some customers
- no BC with the 40gb...pissed off a lot of people (not me i have the 60gig!)


Microsoft Best:

- Great online
- Great FPS games, appealed to US audience
- Launching first (made some GC/PS2 owners switch over...I know 2 PS2 owners, now 360 owners)
- Lower price (initially) than PS3 although it was inferior (no Wifi, no HD-DVD, etc)
p.s. i say initially because once you add in 2 years of online thats $120 pushing the price above a PS3.

Worst:

- RRoD...Nuff said
- RRoD
- Did I mention RRoD?
- no built in HD-DVD basically let Blu Ray win IMO.


Well thats my list, agree or disagree.
