U guys keep saying it would be giving up market share to microsoft but thats not the point. These next 3 years would be to squeeze out as much profit as possible would be able to market it better to stay relevent against wii u/nextbox. Releasing in 2016 would give it a 1-2 year lead on the following gen. |
You obviously do not understand Microsofts intentions with Sonys marketshare. Sony has to look after it like a dog because if not Microsoft will try to take them out and then monopolize the industry while dumbing everything down to specific to multimedia hubs over games. Multimedia is the very reason Microsoft joined the gaming industry aside from Sonys visible stance as a threat to PC gaming in the late 90's.

Still pushing that ridiculous argument? The original Xbox and 360 were launched as gaming machines. Sony is the one that has been pushing their hardware as multimedia boxes.
I've grown an affinity towards MS this gen, but I want Sony to launch a new console this year. More competetition is good for everyone. Sony didn't realize they had competition in 2006 and they only got better to compete with MS.

Sony and Microsoft BOTH have multimedia machines, but the difference between Sony and Microsoft is that they dont force multimedia down your throat, its optional, secondary to the games. The term Xbox is no longer exclusive to consoles but is expanding to media devices Microsoft has a hand in.
