We owe them the very weak gen 8 consoles. They showed us and Sony that only cheap hardware sells. If they would've let Sony dominate with their $600 we'd have a PS4 with proper hardware in it.

If you wanted a PS4 with "proper" hardware this gen (whatever that means), then you'd be shelling out alot more than $399 for it, and because of that the PS4's dominant lead over the X1 would have went right out the door along with all the good will Sony worked to achieve towards the latter half of the 7th gen...

Why? If the PS3 dominated last gen with a high price, then it would've dominated this gen as well, not matter the price. Also "proper hardware" means dedicated GPU.

Not to go off topic, thank you 360 for confirming that cheap is sexy and subscriptions are awesome.


The PS3 was never going to dominate the its generation with a $600 price tag, and the PS4 would not have dominated this generation with a $600 price tag. If the price was that high, most people would have simply not bought one until the price went down. It wasn't JUST competition that hurt the PS3. If anything, most of PS3's early wounds were self-inflicted.

You also forget the Wii, which was cheaper than both the 360 AND the PS3, and dominated both while they were at their launch prices.
