| DaRev said:What we do know is that each console developer has its own brand of problems in releasing its next console.
For example, Sony wishes it had at least 3 more years to make some money on the PS3 before having to spend money on R&D on a new console. Plus Sony is almost broke. MS on the other hand knows the value of coming out ahead, and has learned not to underestimating Nintendo (Sony doesn't care about NIntendo IMO). And they both are watching the current economic climate - remember 3DS vs Vita price point and price drop and/or lack thereof? Yes its difficult for Nintendo, but don't think Sony and MS are just going to have a cake-walk with their new consoles. |
You said it perfectly. Since I am giving my two cents here I think microsoft is the one that is most likely to screw up. Sony is only in the worst position. But ironically, that will only make them all the more determined to turn this around. The reason I think microsoft is the one to fall the hardest next is the only mistake they really made with 360 was the failure rates. They got it all right for what the core market wants. The thing is there are holes in their tactics which isn't effecting them right now but could do next time. For one, they seem to push this huge reliance on shooters. Then they have tonnes of games they could use in front of them but they fail to do so.
One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D
