| PlaystaionGamer said: You need to remember that fanbase of the people who think something is 'cool' had a PS1 then a PS2 then xbox360. The translation from PS2 to 360 just shows there is no mass brand preference. Just because Ms did well in America last time doesn't mean they will this time. |
While that is true you have to be aware that with downloadable games being a major force this gen people will feel more invested into a particular ecosystem and are more inclined to migrate to the console which is able to use that same ecosystem again.
Just like you probably want to get an iPhone/Pod/Pad again if you have some hundreds of iTunes songs and/or iOs apps.
Sony's realistic aim should be to get to ~1:1 with MS in NA the next gen as being outpaced ~2:1 in the most profitable market by a console that offers almost completely the same experience as their own is a pretty disastrous result.
