I'd say the 3 biggest obstacles are Microsoft/North America (related issues), Sony themselves (they continue to make unbelievably nonsensical decisions that defy reason), and their financial situation. Another issue would be the lack of a distinctive mascot and/or a (consistently released) system seller. Mascot issue I guess falls under the identity category. Sony has only just NOW tried to identify a color/color scheme with the PS brand. They chose blue. That's it. So flipping boring and bland. They don't even understand the importance of aesthetics. Look at Microsoft..green is their main color, but they combine it with white and often silver to create an aesthetic appeal. Then with Kinect they add purple, which also adds appeal, but makes it clearly stand out as a different (but also still xbox-related) item. Okay, I should stop now. Good thread. Also depressing. |
Thank you :) And one of the better comments that was well thought out. All three has problems so if you want you can voice your opinion about the other two in my other threads
