Well multimedia certainly isn't why Sony is in the gaming industry. Sony is all about the games, never about pushing multimedia.
MS downplayed Bluray, now they're gonna use it. Sony boasted about free online play, now they're charging for it. You see how this works? |
Sony is in for both. They wanted to prove they could beat Nintendo in their own domain and by using better tech they would achieve those ends. Microsoft joined the gaming industry solely because Sony was becoming a dominant multimedia force and Microsoft has to stop anyone from doing that, which is why they are facing the top multimedia giants simultaneously as we speak. Games are part of the equation that they must face and eventually they'll get over their hump, but it wasnt a natural transition for them.
