Multimedia isn't a gimmick, it isn't a novelty. It's a product people actually make use of on a daily basis and Sony and Microsoft knew it would take over the home eventually because thats the evolution of tech. If thats a gimmick then so is a home computer, Blackberry, Ipod, tablets and things like that. People seriously use in their house and have actual use. I haven't bought a stand-alone Blu Ray because of the PS3 even though its old, it still works and I can put my files on it from my computer. Gimmicks need to prove themselves in a market, gaming consoles once real tech companies joined the gaming industry were always meant to evolve.
-Nintendo always came out with gimmicks and family friendly games.
-Sony came with tech and formats.
-Microsoft came with online.
The biggest evolution

From a tecchie perspective yes. From a gaming perspecive, the pyramid is reversed.
Weak-Sony always came out with tech and formats gimmicks.
Ok - Microsoft came with the complete online solution.
#1 - Nintendo made games and new game inputs
SONY ONLY MAKES GIMMICKS
NINTENDO IS AWESOME
And that, my friend
is a pissing
contest.

Question...is your DVD player in your house a gimmick? Just asking.
|
My PS3's bluray player almost get's no use. But my Wii and Kinnect get used at least a few days out of the month. I have a feeling more people have played with and had fun with the Wii than people who have watched a Blu-ray movie. (I'm not trying to call blu-ray a gimmick, just making a point) Though motion control may have been gimmicky in its conception. It no longer is. A lot of great games and platforms are built on it now.
