Is Sony releasing details about its next-gen console before MS a good thing or a bad thing for them?
Positives:
- They'll have a huge amount of hype as they're the first to announce it and the media has gone/will go crazy...so it's alot of free promo basically
Negatives:
- Even though they won't release a specific price, MS will have a rough idea of the price it'll be from the specs so they can try and undercut it
- MS will know the specs and so they may try to outdo them, and it'll be too late for Sony to retaliate
Overall I think it's bad to break cover first, but they way in which Sony has done it is very clever so I'm not too sure whether it'll be a good or bad thing in the long-run. Time will tell I guess...
Thoughts?
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right
