PS2 business model = Sell weak/moderate powerful hardware at a low, mass market price.
Even the Gamecube had more power then PS2. But this gen, WiiU will have the title as cheapest and most competetively priced.

when the playstation 2 launched it was by no means weak hardware, sure the gamecube and the xbox were more powerful than it, but they came out almost 2 years after the playstation 2 launched, when it did the only other system on the market was the dreamcast and it absolutely blew that out of the water in terms of power and packing what became a load of households first Dvd player.

I dont count the Dreamcast. Personally you gotta finish a gen to be compared at all. On that note, let me amend my definition.
PS2 business model = Sell weak/moderate powerful hardware at a low, mass market price. Launch first for head start on competition and 3rd parties.
Nintendo is the new Sony.

Nope. Sony's strategies are completely different from Nintendo.
The PS2 might have been the weakest console last gen, but it was the first to release. It was easily able to compete with the more powerful Xbox/Gamecube. This is what Sony should do with the PS4 IMO. Release a high-end console at an affordable price, hopefully before the Xbox 720.

Sonys strategies are NOW different from Nintendo. And thats the problem.
Underline = What WiiU is doing now.
Being "affordable high end" isnt the PS2/WiiU model and therefore isn't gonna end well. Rumors say that MS will get yet another head start on PS4 as well, so thats not helping either.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
