PS3 is the first console to break that trend which is why its also the first of their consoles to remain in last place most of this gen. This allowed them to get a huge following of casual gamers that became dedicated PS fans and Sony knows this. They even said before the PS3 launch that their fans didn't know what was best for them and needed Sony to tell them and that millions of them would buy a PS3 regardless of anything else. Sony does have a habit of trashing something Nintendo does only to copy it later on. It's seen as innovation because a good portion of the fan base doesn't know anything about other platforms. Also this trend is over. Sony will never see their PS1 and PS2 days again. My guess is PS4 will be their last console, Vita will be their last portable, and they wont try making another gaming phone again and just stick to be a 3rd party chip provider for phones. I also wouldn't call their products inferior to what Nintendo has to offer. Excluding the PS1 and PS2 which had huge hardware issues, even leading to a class action lawsuit in the case of PS2, the functionality of their products is just as good as Nintendo. Move isn't inferior to the Wii remote, its just not any better either. |
All Sony has to do is sell on par or above Microsoft in America and increase sales in Japan and they will sell one hundred million consoles. That is on par with the PS1 to be exact. MS put a deep cut into their marketshare. Put the sales of the 360 and PS3 together and you have just above PS2 sales. Microsoft serves the same market Sony was already entertaining.
