Don't have that sort of will power either. The leaks have been particularly bad over the last year and during the build up to next gen. One wonders why these companies don't try harder to route out the leaks. That can be easily done by leaking specific information to certain people and then monitoring if it gets leaked. I guess another reason why I will be more dissapointed by Sony this year, if they dont impress, is because they are currently in a dominant position in the home console industry and as a company they really need an industry where they dominate. This is a golden opportunity for them to take advantage of the momentum. But i have a feeling that they will let it slide, which is more evidence to me that Sony as a business lacks that killer instinct that little bit of something that makes one company better than the rest. I've been monitoring their mobile strategy, imaging strategy and gaming and it doesnt seem like Sony really has a plan to dominate anything. They've kinda struck it lucky with PS4 so i was hoping we would see more innitiative from Sony. Companies that dont have a plan to lead industries usually fall by the wayside. And thats whats happening to sony now. Given their more streamlined focus i thought they would be more aggressive. A bit off topic i guess but oh well! |
but in a truely honestly assessment don't you think sony has been pretty aggressive this gen?
they spent like 400M on gaikai and are launching psnow this summer bring playstation not just to consoles but tvs, tablets, and pcs as well which could massively change the landscape of video games.
they just announced project morpheous bring VR to market for possibly the first time ever depending on OR's release date.
ps4 does have massive AAA titles already and are being announced, 1 for 1 with MS,.. even moreso once some of xbox's "exclusives" go multiplat like PvZ.
ps4 has almost 3x the current games library as xbone due to an investment in indies,.. some that are massively good like transistor and (i expect) the witness.
sony trail blazed ps+ to give us "free" games making playstation a massively good value. ..from day 1 on ps4 too not 8 months laters and starting with a port of a smartphone game.
sony didn't try to fuck us with DRM and they stood their ground against the likes of MS and EA to ensure it stays that way.
i dunno, MS has some amazing marketing because when i compare resumes sony has been far more aggressive and dominant then the general views of the internet would suggest. i'm glad sales reflect this even if the internet refuses to give credit where credit is due.
