| Ssenkahdavic said: It does not. Sony is much more like Nintendo than they are like MS. If anything, would you agree Sony is an Entertainment Company? TVs, Movies, Music then going into Gaming (PS1 = CDs when they were popular and massively being adopted = Music. PS2 = DVDs when they were popular and in the initial stages of being massively adopted = Movies. PS3 = 3D/BlueRay when it was first released and they were trying to make it the primary HD dvd replacement = TVs/Movies MS is much more of a Business Software Company (Going more towards Business as a Service IE The Cloud) While you say MS chases trends (and maybe they do) Sony looks to be more of trying to create a trend, sort of like Nintendo does. The difference is Nintendo for now IS a Gaming company and tries to make trends in gaming, where Sony is also looking out for the other parts of the company besides Gaming. I think its pretty awesome that the three players in the game are so different. Makes things interesting. |
I would agree with the fact that Sony is an entiertainment company. That's definitely true and that's why I didn't lump them in directly with MS. They obviously have a better grasp of what gaming is and what it means. But I still say they tend to follow instead of lead (at least since the PS4). There was a time when owning a Playstation instead of an Xbox meant having a much more diverse software lineup to choose from. But since the launch of the PS4, it seems Sony is more concerned with grabbing the FPS, dude bro crowd and throwing their own people under the buss in the process. They seem to be chasing western trends instead of focusing on what made owning a PS so unique.
I'd much rather see them go back to the PS1/PS2 days where there was a company wide focus on variety. No one should HAVE to own two consoles but as it is now, you really have to own both a PS4 and Wii-U is you want to cover all your bases imo.
