They took years building the brand, and making a product that appeals to gamers, it is never as simple as "The others screwed up", please. Sony would have won if ms had a good reveal....Ps is a bigger brand WW period. |
I think the PS1 won because Nintendo screwed up. People waited for the N64 and when that system had a lot of drawbacks (Difficult to program for, No games, high priced carts, memory issues), people went with the PS1. I think the PS3 started out poorly because Sony screwed up. Sony has a hell of a brand and a hell of a following. The original Xbox was such a non-threat. Why do you think it sold so much, last gen? People waited to see what Sony was going to do before buying the Xbox 360. The same thing happened when the Dreamcast released. It sold record numbers but the thing was doomed because people already felt the PS2 was going to be such a better console (and it was). But, if Sony had dropped the ball, things may have ended differently.
Sony is a bigger brand but anybody can drop the ball and if they do, somebody else is going to capitalize on the mistake. The PS4 didn't make a lot of mistakes. It's the best console of the three.
