| S.T.A.G.E. said: What PR BS dude? Sony has always been a format leader in one respect or another (hence why Nintendo brought them into the industry in the first place). Any format Sony puts into their consoles always affects the mass market (They were all expensive until Sony dropped mass market price through game sales). It worked for CD's, DVD's, and then Blu Rays, making it easier for people to have a better format in their home with any brand. They have always been in the forefront. Just remember...they took the fall for their risk and were bleeding through the teeth financially until it became a success. Microsoft forced everyone to buy the Kinect when they knew it wasn't as desirable as the previous gen. Now that they dropped the Kinect, lets wait and see how the market more accurately responds to the Kinect based on valid games coming out to make sense out of its existence. My Kinect is disconnected. There is a difference between taking a risk on a primary format and a secondary peripheral. |
The exact PR BS that you are repeating here. Bluray was in direct competition with HD-DVD and, although it certainly deserved to win that fight, they only installed it to make money of the customers while getting a huge marketshare in the Bluray market. To give you a hint of the attitude they had back then: http://www.joystiq.com/2005/07/06/sony-wants-you-to-earn-that-playstation-3/. You seriously think that THAT is the attitude that puts the consumer first-hand?
It´s the exact same attitude as Don Mattrick showed regarding the X1. Problem is, you seem to always only be able to see one side of the coin.
