Forums - Sony - What happens to the PS brand if the big 3 repeat their action next gen?

it's completely impossible for Sony to ever be successful after they lost a generation, it never happened before, and never will again!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

But isent that the Total insult to Ps3?  Its selling on par with Wii thats been dead for 5 years now? 

The bottom line is This is a Kids market.  I know 3rd party and Sony want to make it into a adult industry.

 

Its like Cartoons.    Sure a few good ones can have huge succsess with the older crowds(simpson).  But Kids are always going to stay its core audience.

So Making cartoons for kids first then a few adult ones, work.  same with the gaming industry.

Or like Shrek. Have it entertaining for both Kids and adults.   On the same game.

Thats what Nintendo try's.    and when they succeed they make a tone of money.

Like Shrek made a tone of money.

It wont be market leader with its direction anytime soon.  If they make big changes it has a chance.

They got some rather dumb CEO's have no clue what they doing for the last 5 years have you noticed?

despite the initial assumption that the PS3 would dominate over it's competitors

how many people said that AFTER the 599.99 bombshell, people who should not have been taken seriously I hope


Pretty much all analysts. They were laughed at by a vocal minority, and applauded as geniuses by the majority of forum dwellers and industry 'experts'

the most epic graph in the history of gaming



Geohot could have sold more Homebrew PS3 in this gen then Sony sold PS3's in total.   Sony needs to hire people that actually know what there doing. 

All the's old Babyboomer CEO's are killing this economie.   not just in the gaming industry.    

Think about it look at how dumb babyboomers CEO and presidents have been in the last 10 years? How the Fuck do you nearly bankrupt the United States?  thats almost imposible!

How many  company's are we going to have to bayle out?   

The Economie is what it is cause our Company leaders have totaly Failed to understand the market and what makes it succeed.  The world move's forward so fast now a day's we are in a better position then they to get the job done.

As Gen Y's we just sit on our coaches Un-emplyed.   I think we could be doing way better then the's hacks.   Economic recovery will  only happen when the's dumb babyboomers get out and let smart people that are in touch with the times run shit again.

Well, second most epic

 



in the 8th gen all consoles will rival in price and sales for sometime or until someone screws up.



The PS4 won't be that much more expensive since BD technology is common now and it will only require tweaking it to read triple or quad layered discs.

360 went with an obsolete format this gen, so they'll have to invest resources in replacing DVD with some propriatery disc OR go with bluray and pay royalties.  It's going to cost them more to compete next generation.

Also PS4 will have incentive to be bought since it plays BD movies while Xbox720 will play some propriatery disc that's only good for games.
