Technically, he's right. Sony received a clear beating last gen, forcing them to rethink practices/policies and rebuild their infrastructure. Of course, there were other factors involved, but no longer being "on top" was certainly motivation to aim for a better sequel than the PS3 was from the PS2. |
Technically its wrong no matter what angle. The one reason why PS3 wasnt as successful as Sony hoped was the launch price, resp. the need to push a new expensive, physical medium and the huge losses it caused. The PS3 was the most expensive Playstation system and the most expensive commercially successful console. Something that was absent with all the other systems. So it cant be the price making the PS4 we got so much better than this imaginary, hypothetical, non existent alternative. Hypothetically, if Sony hadnt had to deal with a crisis of historic proportions, the choice of hardware could ve been different, could ve been subsidized, a little bit more juice...
I'm under the impression, the gamer of today is heavily brainwashed into deeming everything else more important than what really counts. The games. And what we see now with PS4 is the continuation (partially literally) of preceding generations. Hardly, this cant be it either.
Accessibilty? Sony was fully aware of the fact that game development became more and more complex, time and money consuming, since, you know, they are themselves heavily involved in producing videogames. Maybe not same approach to make the lifes of devs easier... maybe just... continuation of what was already available.
