| VanceIX said: Compared to most of the consoles from the last few generations (with the exception of the Gamecube, perhaps), the PS4 has put MUCH less emphasis on multimedia. It plays blu-ray, but it dosen't advertise it nearly as much as the PS3 did. It does Netflix. Once again, not much advertisement. Sony's campaign and emphasis on the console this generation was almost purely on core gaming, with little emphasis on the other features. And I said it is innovative in modern gaming, as in it concentrates on pure, traditional gaming in an era in which manufacturers are increasingly wanting their hardware to be "jack-of-all-trades" and want to fundamentally change game controls in a different way every generation. |
To be honest its more, focus and perfection rather than innovation since innovation can be anything and perfection/improvement > innovation. Sony is the only one of the big 3 directly targetting core gamers. Everyone else is advertising media features that are supposed to "distinguish" them, when the people who would be intrested in those devices already have better and cheaper alternatives.
Like I said in the innovation deception, Innovation is just a buzz word, to be succesful is to find what consumers want and clearly, the casuals aren't intrested in console innovations, and the core gamers are tired of being sidelined for what companies think the casuals want.
That's a pretty big market of ignored consumers who just want to play games.
