I believe in the "when console manufacturers get arrogant and start believing they can plug a controller into a taco and it will sell as long as it has their logo on it" curse.

That's where Nintendo was (twice?), where Sony was, and where Microsoft is. Many people were anointing them winners of next generation by default. They started to believe their own hype, I think, and took growth in market share as a given.

Are you saying that can't apply to right now?

Maybe MS is plugging controllers into always-on tacos, but everyone is thinking PS4 is going to win, which is what you mentioned one of the "symptoms" of the third console curse is. (At least I think that's where you were going with it...)



Around the Network

No, has Nintendo ever made a bad handheld console? Wait there was Virtual Boy, but it was their 2nd consoles.

Sony's Vita is a #2, and it's doing bad.

N64 was a #3 and it did pretty bad, but so did #4. Same with Sega #3 and #4 did bad.

Then again, you're Mom does pretty bad the 3rd and 4th time around too...

I vote No, but yes to mommy.
