Naum said: So they will do what Nintendo did during the Snes/N64 era... look what that did. |
yup make some awsome game's and guess what the fact that Sony is already in 3rd . so why the hell does it matter now anyway. Quality is a good thing if you ask me. it's not about catching the Wii, Sony's going for quality. why worry about placement in a console war when your already 3rd!
|
If Sony was not worried about their placement in the console war then they'd focus on developing games for the audience that they are competing for. Instead they want to introduce the move to attract the mainstream audience to the PS3 to improve sales and thus change the Placement of the PS3 in the console wars.
|
o'l come on now just because the market leader has something unique does not mean that one of the other's would not add it if they could, now would you have not seen their technology added if the Wii did not take off?
the fact that Sony waited because they got burned in the past with motion control's they put out the Eyetoy and 3rd party's did not support it like they said they would.
so what if they added it later, atleat they combined it's use with the EYETOY to give it more function's.
Many consumer's are very happy with motion control's for gaming, now Sony has added that option to the PS3.
unless Only Nintendo can have that technology?
|
Sony and Microsoft jump on the motion control band wagon after the Wii became successful. They both came out against motion controls in interviews and look now. This has nothing to do with copying the Uniquess of the market leader and everything to do with sales. I could go on but some of your comments make you sound like a bitter Fanboy.
|
bitter fanboy..lol
AND ONCE AGAIN SO WHAT IF THEY DID!
and PR matter's why?
just because some PR speak is put out does not mean what they stated was every thing they may plan on doing!
alot of PR is just trying to hurt on the other's sale's. the fact that.
calling someone a bitter fanboy it just seem's to me if anyone is bitter it's the people who try to make out PR as some sort of past truth to keep bring up when they want to keep trying to discourage or downplay any an all thing's about another system because of some slight toward a system they have a preference for
sort of like some PR.. speak we have heard before. so in effect your doing exactly the same thing you are mad about!
|
"unless Only Nintendo can have that technology?" confirms that you sound like a bitter fanboy. That comment had no place in the discussion what so ever.
"AND ONCE AGAIN SO WHAT IF THEY DID!" You are the one defending their every move and that quote makes your arguments pointless.
Good day sir.
|
lol. how am i defending it there is nothing to defend it does not even have to be defended. just so you can say "what we were first with it everyone else is a copy cat"?
so what if everyone is a percieved copycat.
please/ 
if anything it seem's no one can be happy unless other's feel upset over it as much as that person feel's.
I am not happy so you can't be happy...
|
If you read my post you would realize that I could care less who did what first. Please read my post. I responded to your statement " why worry about placement in a console war when your already 3rd!" by saying that they are worried and that is why Sony introduced the move. Your latest post just makes no sense to me and is not germane to our argument.
Thanks for your time.
|
How does it make them worried?
" by saying that they are worried and that is why Sony introduced the move."
an i say again so what if their 3rd.
you do not have to be #1 to be successful. when there is more stiff competition this generation. one only has to look @ all the game platform's on the sales market to see that.
|
"you do not have to be #1 to be successful."
Yes you do in console wars because their are advantages to having a larger install base. Just look at the portable market and Nintendo's line of portable systems. Yet you are right that a company does not have to have the largest fanbase to be successful. Sony dominated the console war for two generations but Nintendo beat them in making the most profit.
"So what if (Sony) is 3rd"
It means that Sony has lost market share, mind share, and more importantly fans. Just like what happened to Nintendo in the 90's and last gen. All of which are very hard to get back.
|
and as you can see their still arround!
the same can be stated for Sony!
people on even this site stated Sony would right off the PS3 like some are saying that sony would best be served to right off the PSP!
their saying that mainly because of the lead that Nintendo has, but once again just because Nintendo has that lead does not mean just because you not #1 mean that you just up an quit!
if that was that idea lincon town car would have been removed long agao. both the PSP and the PS3 are not #1 in the market and they still sold very well.
again So what if their 3RD they know that so why worry about it.
as for loosing fan's you could say that about any of the three.
sony launched at a price of $500.00 and $600.00 you do not think they knew that the PS3's base was not going to be slow going?. aside from PR speak which we know is just that.
I doubt anyone could expect even Sony knew that the PS3 would not be anywhere near the lead at launching at that price or anythime soon. but also they also most likely never expected to be able to sell as many as they did at that pricepoint.
that's the real shocker!
that would be like Lincon expecting the town car to outsell a mid size car on price and speed on sales of a mid size car , that most likely would never happen. it would be a rare site indeed.
so you do not think sony would be working to lower the price as quick as they could?
adding more function's to you system's capability is not being worried it's being very smart. they all do it even Nintendo even Microsoft, google you name it they all do it. it's just smart to do it .
