After all of Microsoft's fuck ups they're not really trying to capitalize on it, they're assuming that everyone is going to go to Playstation because they've got the better hardware, while Microsoft is securing exclusives that people want to play. I couldn't care less about Titanfall, but there's no doubt that people want to play it. Sunset Overdrive looks lke it'll be a great game. They bought the Gears of War franchise which Sony could have done with the talks they've been having with Epic, and could have stolen the entire fanbase of that series and made them Sony supporters. Instead, all that Sony has really been pushing has been indie, indie, indie, indie. No offense to those of you out there like Joe the Bro who are indie developers, but indie games don't move consoles. People aren't going to say. "Wow, an indie game! I've got to get a PS4!." No, they say. "Holy sh**! Next gen Call of Duty!." Sony has had over six months to capitalize on Microsoft's fuck ups but they haven't. Who's more arrogant AND stupid? Sony. |
I strongly think that what defines Sony right now is not arrogance and stupidity but cost control in a dangerous financial situation. They want to quickly reach profitability a lot more than they want to dominate the market. With a leading console and a better market share and momentum, they could anticipate future revenues and spend it in campains and exclusives to push their advantage. But right now, I think they would agree to sell not more than xbox if it made them output a solid profit this year. Right now outselling with just a better and cost controlled hardware is like a dream for Sony, they will not push too much their advantage, just cheaply show better multi-platform, future 3D device, and more indies... while enjoying profits from third party studio games.
