My statements don't come from some act of bravado but just a pattern I see plain as day that others, oddly enough, don't see. See, there are people that make a good living from watching patterns develop in varied industrial fields. These guys (if they're good) can see + or - patterns and inform their clients on their findings. Some are very good at it and see these patterns plain as day, others are OK at it but most people really suck at it thus the need for financial industry analysts. I wish I could lead you to believe I have gonads of a Bull but in actuality it's just that I see clear as day. Unles something catastrophic happens in the industry, Sony's console will be on top for this gen yet again. The only difference I see is the Nintendo beating out MCs console this time round. |
First off financial industry analysts, are all almost complete morons. In fact anyone who predicts anything about the future is shockingly almost always wrong. Because they really can't tell the future, they take certain elements of the past and go on that, but every market is always changing so there really is no pattern. For example you don't seem to give an example of this pattern or trend, other then the ps1 and ps2 being successful, which it seems all the elements that were in place for both of those systems are no longer in place. Price/PR/ Initial Sales/Competition/Launchs times of other systems/3rd Party support and various other odds and ends, all don't fit any pattern. They are all different from the ps1, and ps2. So until you explain this pattern, you'll have to admit there is none. The only pattern I can tell is that it's an advanced multi-media device with the backing of the Sony name, which follows suit more along the PSP then any other system in History, and the Wii is following suit with the DS closer to any other system in history, that's the pattern, their approach/PR/inital sales and everything follows that pattern. So there seems to be no reason in my opinion to think that they won't end up selling like their handheld counterparts. I think the one thing that bothers me about your reasoning is you insist your aware of things no one else is aware of but don't care to discuss them or adress other peoples valid points.
