I dunno, it might be too late to be saying things like this. E3 will give us a better understanding of what they plan on doing, though. I would prefer PlayStation keep its rival.

A Nintendo/Sony rivalry would be so much better.

Why would you want them as a rival?, I mean so far having them as a rival since they joined has had them beat 3 times, that hardly seems as good healthy competition for both parties. Looking back on history it looks like it's yielded far better results for Sony than MS, I don't really see the desire to keep someone by your side in roder to make you lok leagues better as healthy or good, it's like you want to use someone for your own ends.

Because of XB360, Sony was forced to more competitively price their console and learned that they can't charge whatever they want for home consoles. XB360 also introduced cross-game chat, which Sony now implements. Xbox's online infrastructure also directly inspired the PSN so that the PlayStation brand could compete in the online field. Without Xbox, we'd either be stuck paying out the nose for next-gen consoles, playing on PC, or playing Nintendo.

Those two last alternatives sounds awesome.

But the most. ;)




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

I do currently own an OG Xbox, and I've owned five XB360's. Competition breeds innovation, and what I was stating earlier was simply evidence to support that. Without real competition, Sony would stagnate.

 

Sony might not have gone for a lower development cost if they hadn't learned their lesson from MS. And I'm aware that PS3 beat XB360, it was also really close, though. They learn from each other, and as a result make each other better.

You still sound like you've always had it for Sony than MS though, like you want them around to make your fave brand better instead of going for the other rband even despite you owning past systems (which aren't current systems at that).

Well, I do prefer Sony systems, and I do want Xbox around to push PlayStation so my favorite brand can be better. I may eventually buy an XB1 for cheap, too, but the way things are going, it might not be worth it.

I disagree. I feel a Nintendo/Sony cohesion wouldwork better. Sony can handle home consoles, and Nintendo can handle handhelds.

I couldn't disagree more, but different strokes for different folks.

I just find it weird how some people like competition but only when it serves them from where they stand, so when they don't do so hot they need someone else to take a dive. I imagine once Xbox leaves then Sony will somehow stagnate and they will have to come up with ideas themselves for areas others had already provided (which lends to borrowing someones idea rather than inventing and shaping your own). I'd rather some new form of competition enter and not be used as some punching bag or nerd who others copy from in the future though.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

I would rather Microsoft stop striking out. They already have an established fanbase and ecosystem.

They tried for 3 gens and didn't manage to hold down an entire gen, I don't think they want to just keep throwing money into the wind, especially if it's aiding the competition far more than it is for themselves. They also have a base with PC folk but first they need to stop thinking they can control an open platform and then they will win those folk over in droves.
