I agree with him. Your concern seems largely unfounded. The last time a company (or companies) became complacent, they paid for it. On the flip side, the last time things were "one sided", the dominating system went on to be regarded as one of the best (even THE best, for many) systems to ever exist.
Make no mistake, I GET your concern. But the last time Sony dominated like this, we were flooded with games. I have no problem seeing that happen again.

Back then we didn't really have much to be concerned.
Rootkits, by the way...
|
I still don't see any reason to be concerned. In fact, because of the age of information, I'm even less concerned.
|
With all the digital stuff, now you should be more concerned, though I guess social media allows for more consumer power to do away with changes we don't like.

What monopoly? PS consoles dominated for two gens and there was no issue. There were a lot of games and people enjoyed them. Now, there's more ways to play games than ever. Even Phil Spencer said they're going in on another console. Playstation doesn't have the market all to itself. There's really no need to be upset.
|
I am not saying there was one. I said I am worried that this might become too one sided... or did you forgot what happened the last time a game company became complacent?
|
Yes MS with the 360 on the latter half of the gen and then with the XOne. They didn't have a monopoly though, they even weren't market leaders.
So what's your point?
|
They? No? The X360 was and it made MS complacent and that led to the XONE's demise...
Nintendo made weak hardware since they thought power mattered little...
I can see Sony falling off the same train even if you don't believe it...

Brazil and Mexico I believe.
Bear in mind this is counting official sales in the country and not imports.
|
Brazil changed to official PS4 land once they started manufactoring systems in Brazil. This reduced costs (tech tax) significantly which were the reasons why PS4 was basically only sold through unofficial channels. I think the Gre market is still better though.
|
Do we have numbers for that? Also, Mexico is North America as well.
I know XONE consoles are made in Brazil, which means no obnoxious import quotas, but so far, the only one I have for the PS4 is this one...
If so, Sony should outsource their China production to Brazil... same price and better builds that match the JP ones...
