| d21lewis said: I can't post a link right now but didn't Sony themselves say they'd be ahead of the 360 by mid-2007? (the answer is yes. I'm looking at the quote as I type this.). The analyst in the OP is wrong but that doesn't mean Sony exceeded or met expectation. It isn't some underdog that is pulling off a tremendous upset. Sony is the heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed going head to head with the bum, Rocky Balboa, and barely winning by decision. People may have called the PS3 "a Dreamcast" on a couple of rare occasions but people were calling Xbox 360 the same thing for over a year until the PS3 launch. Every console was a doomed underdog, this gen. Wii: an underpowered console with a TV remote and a breast pump. It was going to kill Nintendo. I can give you the 2006 quote, if you want. Xbox: Underpowered and launched a year early. A Dreamcast. Would be destroyed by Sony. PS3: Underperforming and no compelling software. Sony should scrap the console and start over. Every console was doomed and every console managed to achieve tremendous success. That's the true story of the gen. |
I swear on my life that i was just reading about Rocky and Apollo Creed just a few minutes ago before coming back here and reading this comment
like WTF lol
but yea the Wii and 360's doom didn't compare to the ps3's doom.
and like you just said, people had so much expectations for the PS3 and that plane crashed HARD after lift off
Wii shocked everybody and took off. 360 was the NEW PlayStation. PlayStation was... you know
also i didn't know that there were people that said 360 was underpowered when it came out. When did this happen? or by who?
Edit: the main "doom" factor around the 360 was RROD from what i remember
