Editor-in-Chief of gametrailers.com Shane Satterfield sat with Adam Sessler from G4tv, research analyst and host of Pach Attach Michael Pachter, and reporter for the LA Times Ben Fritz to discuss if Sony will win E3; On Gametrailer’s Bonus Round hosted by Geoff Keighley.
During one segment of the episode Satterfield talks about Sony being a cooperation in “so much trouble” and turns to ask Pachter if it was smart for Sony to talk about their next console.
Before Pachter could even answer the question Satterfield expresses his reasons as to why he thinks PlayStation 3 has been a failure.
“PlayStation 3 has been kind of a failure” He continues on to say “They owned the market with the PlayStation 2, they’re just starting to turn a profit with the PlayStation 3. They talked about the ten year cycle when they launched the PlayStation 3 do you really see them bailing on that now?”
Pachter answered with ” The reason they’re in a rush to get out is they want to get in front of Microsoft.”
Pachter later says “Sony’s big mistake was that they over engineered the PS3 and they were forced to charge too much for it and they were late because they over engineered it.
After that Pachter says Sony will wont be late with PS4 and they will release before Microsoft’s next console. If that’s the case then perhaps Microsoft bested Sony this console generation.
What do you think is Shane Satterfield correct about Sony’s PS3 “being kind of a failure”? Do you agree with Pachter’s remarks about Sony over engineering the PS3?
