Reasonable on 30 March 2008
Well, I assumed Sony had things sewn up until the following became apparent:
1) they'd forgotten that lower spec / price often does better in market share than what (at least at launch) seemed ultra elite price
2) the games all seemed focused on West / US and FPS plus Sucker Punch, ND and Insomnic were all making 'darker' games for their first release
3) there was no sign of anything to make it attractive to the family buyer
4) it was going to get tied up in a format war
Still, I'm not calling this gen until both PS3 and Wii have been out much longer and we see where 360 really looks likely to end up.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
