| Dodece said: I think the news outlet is confused, and thinks that a unveiling, and a launch must coincide. Which is most often the case in a lot of industries. Companies introduce a product that will go on sale very shortly. Gaming consoles however don't necessarily follow that model. Well more specifically they shouldn't. It has been tried to disastrous results in the past. Consoles aren't like a new kind of candy bar that can catch on over time. They are very finicky things. They need the right amounts of hype, advertising, support, and word of mouth. For them to grow fast enough so they can stay in the market. |
I saw a bbc video interviewing Kaz Harai yesterday and the guy asked "how come you didn't show the ps4 during it's launch?" Kaz had to clarify that they haven't launched the Ps4 and there will be many oppertunities for them to show it before they do... so maybe a similar thing here. Media thinking reveal=launch
