No, it's not a stupid counter argument, there are many people out there who have no interest in a home console, but are interested in games, and happen to own a TV, Tablet, or Phone.  As far as compatibility, we've no idea how many companies will allow it on their products.  Again, the amount of people this could touch, are the kinds of numbers the games industry wishes it could reach.

Bolded: If you want to buy a home console.  Not everyone does.  Many, many more people feel the need to have a PC/Phone/Tablet/TV.

and yet they'd still need to go out and buy a controller,  its just a much better deal all round to buy the actual console and the games. 

p. s.  dont ream off installbase figires for mobile and pc like it matters,  fact of the matter is the reach there will be minimal at best,  of people wanted to play the ps3 games on offer theyd have done so by now,  on another platform,  on their pc or have bought a ps3 to do so already. 

Right...because a controller @ $60 is like investing in a console....o.O

If you can't see how this is an enticing demographic for Sony to be targeting, that's not really my fault.  As far as reaming off install bases, it's called supporting data.  Whereas, all you're doing is giving your opinion, for about 7 billion people.

PS. I'll do whatever I want, as long as I'm following forum rules.


boy are you in for some dissapointment when they reveal (or more likely,  dont)  their usage stats.
