A lot of PS2 users are still undecided. This is the point I'm making...in my case, what he said in that quote is true. All of my friends that stayed behind with the PS2 want a PS3 over the 360 and Wii...this is just in my case though. I'd have to go around and meet a lot of other people that stayed with the PS2 to confirm this. |
You make a good point, but I think there is another factor involved that may cause a different outcome than you expect--and that Sony is claiming will occur. Cost. The PS2 entered the market at a much lower price point than either the 360 or the PS3. Many of those who are PS2 holdouts (and let's face it, a huge segment of the population in most industrialized nations owns a PS2) are waiting until they can get a console for a lot less than the current generation costs. In my mind this means Sony had better put decent BC BACK into their low-end machine before they get below the $200 critical mass point... otherwise Wii or 360 might eat their lunch if they get there first.
