| sales2099 said: I dont understand. By making the best they killed their PS2 marketshare and Vita isnt doing good at all against 3DS. Hardware doesnt sell a system, games do. So make *affordable and competitive* hardware and let your games do the talking. Because by making the best your driving up costs, giving your competition an edge, and alienating a big chunk of the potential market. |
It's probably due to pride. The PS3 is the most powerful home console on the market. The Sony fans love the power of the system and always brag about how they have the best graphics and console. Sony is hearing all the positive feedback from the fans and they probably think they're doing what the fans want. Unfortunely the people who go to message boards and talk about games is a very small percentage of gamers. I believe neogaf has 80,000 members that a very small amount of people when you compare it to how many PS3's have sold worldwide.
If Sony makes the PS4 and it's not a techinal beast, then those fans will complain about it. They're willing to pay 500 plus for the system. Of course the average consumer doesn't want to pay that much especially when the competition will have cheaper systems.
Like you stated the Vita is a prime example of this. Powerful system that blows the 3Ds out of the water. But it's too expensive for the casual consumer.Plus it doesn't have any system selling games like the 3DS has.
I'm an advocate for motion controls, Nintendo, and Kicking freaking Toad to the Moon!
