Plus if we can connect with 360 Parties and Friends it will be a GIANT plus. -> Huge 1st Party success, building new Studios to Next Gen so they can make more key franchises. Halo, Gears of War, Forza Motorsport, Fable, Dance Central, Kinect Sports, Adventures... Ps3 : -> Went from 150m sold to >80m Next Year should hit 80m -> Bleeding Money, Software sales are very good but some exclusives lag in sales compared to other games -> Huge library of games, amazing exclusive games, huge success here -> Blu Ray did nothing, Sony must have lost milions with it -> 3D is a Fail, Sony push did nothing -> Amazing Ps+ Service with tons of Free Games, well worth the money... Psn overall stills lags behind the infrastucture and simplicity of Xbox Live and Steam Overall is a success in its own way, Sony lost money and its rated to Junk but as a Gamer Ps3 is amazing, games are top notch and the online experience although not quite mathes what Steam or Live offers it stills pretty consistent, overall a solid package from a great Console. |
I'd say excellent post. I do think you're embellishing the Xbox 360 numbers a bit. I'm sure they'll grow but I think the current numbers are significant enough.
The only thing I would add, I think for Sony the investment in the architecture and design of the PS3 was a serious failure. While hindsight is 20/20, the investment in the Cell proved too costly not only for Sony, but for the developers they had lining up to code for the console. Had some of that gone to a more advanced symmetrical processor, Sony likely would have hit the market sooner with a less expensive console.
