Right from even before the Console was launch Sony cost themselves this Generation. In Trying to innovate and bringing the best, most advanced HD machine to the market, Sony not only lost billions in operations’, but lost exclusives such Assassins Creed, DMC 4, and more. They were so many promises, so much build up hype which in the end Sony couldn’t achieve. They allowed the Xbox to come out first, they assumed third parties would wait for them even as a 360 was already out and was doing ok especially in the strongest market. They told us about all those great games they had coming which we are still waiting for today. And to end the generation for sure, E3 2006 was the final nail in their coffin, $600 for a console. I remember my jaw dropping in the end of that press conference, I couldn’t believe they thought people were going to flock the stores to buy such an expensive item. It was then, they lost this generation. Nintendo was smart, they saw the market that the ds had reached and took advantage of it. They released something new yet affordable. They didn’t over promised, they showed us and delivered. Sometimes, it’s not about how good or bad the console is, it’s about the people making the decisions which Nintendo showed they surely know how to.
