yeah first systems are tough.  Just ask Sony...oh wait

Sony came in when the competition was weak. Also, Sony was in a finanically better position. PS1 won by default, N64 and Saturn were a mess.

Which is why Im glad MS came into the console fray. The industry needed a company willing to take big risks even against a mega company like Sony.

lol wut?

Sony was huge when they launched but so was MS.  MS was doing fine financially in 01.  Sony takes plenty of risks software wise and MS is more of a mega company than Sony
