| theprof00 said: To comment on a point you made about the "more powerful ps3", it just stands to reason that Sony performed their job correctly, by focusing on the gamers, and making everything else secondary. Another user likes to use Ford as an example by dropping the quote, "had I asked consumers what they'd wanted, they would have said faster horses". I agree that change is good, and xbox DID have some interesting policies, and Sony seems to think so as well. However, Ford sold the car when the market was ready for the car. The market was simply not ready for this huge leap with the xboxone. 5-6 years down the line? Obviously...Totally...A no brainer. Right now...no. I think, had the current gen stayed stronger for a year longer, and consoles released in 2014, xboxone would've been accepted less begrudgingly than it was. |
Did Sony perform their job correctly though? THat question won't really be answered in 2013-2014, it will be answered later like you said. If you re going to tell me that people buy consoles to use for 1or 2 years, then Sony did the best job possible. Because consoles are built to be used 5-7 years plus 2-3 years past the next gen launch, not having the emerging technologies built into your console isn't performing your job correctly. Your quote of Ford actually makes my point. Of course, M$ didn't need to present their console the way the did, that was their big mistake. The people who are buying in 2013-2014 are the core gamers and the message needed to be "GAMES".
