pricing and release date (the 2 biggest advantages a console can have) went entirely in their favor this gen plus the cell plus PS3 launching against Wii plus Sony not having any system sellers till MGS4 yet they still will end up 3rd. yeah I don't get it either. |
My point exactly. All of these problems seem to be addressed this gen.
Price - Rumors all point to the price being $399-429. This is a great price for the power and features you are getting, especially when compared to the $499 PS3.
Release Date - The PS4 and the NeXbox are both launching later this year. So, at max the NeXbox will have a few weeks to a month headstart. That is nothing compared to the 1 year head start the 360 got.
Cell - PS4 is going to have a MUCH more developer friendly HW compared to the PS3. This will lead to multiplats that are equal to or, when combined with the better GPU, better than the NeXbox versions.
Games - It looks like Sony has got all the major, and a lot of the smaller, game companies on board from the start. And we still have E3 left to learn what other launch window titles are going to be available.
