Actually I think that seeing a company going under beating MS so soundly is bad for them, because if almighty and rich MS was bullying Sony they could say they failed in life because they weren't born milionaire... but when poor Sony or small Ninty does a lot better than rich MS it takes out that moneys buy success and nothing else matters excuse. Besides they jizzing all over themselves thinking of MS money and success as theirselve. |
LOL, I tried to be not too harsh, but yes, I guess that amongst those that actually don't both love MS and at the same time hate Sony, those that behave this way for the reason you suggest are more than those that do it for what I hypothesised. I started thinking about my theory seeing some people, both in this forum and elsewhere, that just think that as MS is hugely profitable and has immense cash, then it must be always right, and markets where it fails while competitors succeed just don't count. Quite shortsighted, IMVHO, as if it's undeniable that in the short and mid term MS' two monopolies in PC market grant it immense profit and power, that market, despite not really shrinking (people replacing their PCs decreased drastically, but the total number of PC users is growing anyway thanks to new markets), in the long term will be dwarfed by other markets growing a lot faster, and in those markets MS is a minor player, so it risks losing its power, even if its richness will keep on growing, although at a slower pace.

Well, that's a lot of humor that you glanced over here. Gotta lighten up, bro. You can't take every joke so seriously.

Yep, totally agree. I have issue when people cannot see or dismiss the important disctinction between how MS and Sony are doing in gaming vs how they're doing overall.

This is beautiful 
It's very hard to say. What you say makes sense, but it's hard to tell what is the impact of shortage, how much it translates into lost sales, how much it helps building the hype. On the contrary, being free of competition for 10 months, and have a better reputation can clearly translate in domination for 20 countries. I mean, you sell 1.000 more console on USA, so what ? You sell 1.000 in Liechtenstein, you achieved monopoly, and enjoy revenues for the next 5 years, and perhaps forever, without any competition.
I think we can all agree the decision to release in only 13 countries was dumb.
But so was releasing in countries that MS didn't have adequate sales in the previous generation.
However, when we consider the importance of Marketshare vs Sales, especially when the former is more likely to grant the latter than vice versa,13 countries becomes the dumber idea 95% of the time.
