How is gaming shaped around what Sony has done moreso than Nintendo, exactly? They brought in the CD? OMFG EPIX WOW!

 

DMeisterJ, if you're going to make a point, make sure you're using the right facts. Nintendo may have screwed Sony over by suddenly dropping the CD, but if Nintendo made the pact with Sony, they would have lost all rights to the games they made. So essentially, Nintendo screwed over Sony for trying to screw over Nintendo.

Actually with the release of the PS1 Sony did exactly what Nintendo is doing now with the Wii and what they did to a larger degree with the NES and that is to expand the market. Sony transformed the Nintendo vs. Sega gaming market for kids and teens into the "Hardcore" competitive gaming market it is/was (Which Microsoft and Sony are still trying to cling to.) by bringing in "Casuals" and then transforming them into "Hardcore".

 

But like I said, Nintendo made the gaming market what it was so that sony could do the next evolution. Now Nintendo is taking the reigns back. Is it just me or should the repeating cycles not be obvious?
