Thats what i mean. Its PR talk. Theres no such thing as several leaders of the same race. Theres only one. If you call the first ten the leaders when theres a market of 10 providers, they are all leaders. Its bla bla talk.

Actually there are such things as several leaders in a race. In particularly long distance races, such as cycling and marathon running. A breakway group of runners that are ahead of the main pack are the "lead group" There is no one leader, especially incycling because they al rotate the front position. In fact in cycling being the front rider in the leading group is bad, because you encounter the most wind resistance and hence get tired faster than the other riders.

So yes, in a "field" of 10 MMO providers you can have a group of 3 or 4 leading companies. They would have the biggest stable of games and have the most most popular MMOs on the market. Hence if Sony is one of those then they are a leader in MMOs.

Just because its PR does not make it BS or misleading or false bravado.


You are fooling yourself if you think they are in any kind of lead group. But, you are free to believe what you want.
