Why such interest?

I am still not amused, but i think they have there own goals in rather then keeping up with MS.

Plans > MS.

Futhermore are you working for Gebx by anychance?

What is Gebx?

 

And what means amused? LOL you use this a lot and I don't understand man.

 

Lol, nvm i thought you were his minion or alt.

But anyways on topic, I have no clue, but 7 years bare minimum.

I mean DAMN we dont even have one Final Fantasy XIII title out yet! :I

And amused = impressed / Not amused = not impressed lol.

 

I know a new english word now. I'm so amused :B

 



Consumers have chosen Wii and XBox 360 this generation. PS3 will be destined for third place. The 10 year plan is fantasy.



he is using I am not amused to say i disagree its more of a context usage then anything. particular words have been hijacked by popular culture, or people who choose to use it in an unusual way. this can make things very confusing to non english speakers. to compound the problem different regions will do modify english in different ways, if i remember right the continental united states has 8 distinct dialects and regional subsets in that.

Consumers do.

They decide if they want it or not, they will even decide if they want to keep it or more on to the next generation when that time comes.

So can we safelly assume that this 10 year lifeplan is just BS from Sony?

Sony decides the lifespan, not the consumers. It doesn't matter what consumers do, Sony will have their consoles out on the market longer than expected. The system could sell great ( PS2), or it could sell terribly (PS3). This should bolster my point that consumers do not sway Sony in the least. Sony milks something until it's dead.

Why are you including X360?

Because it is overselling by 2, the PS3 for about 3~4 months?

Well, following that way you have to remove it instead of adding, because the Wii sells almost the triple of the 360 since it launched.



It all really depends on how much Sony is prepared to lose in order to compete. If they're unwilling to have costly price cuts in order to compete they'll very likely end up in third place. How many third place consoles have had 10 year lifespans?

 But if it sells terribly wouldn't the retailers refuse to carry it. I'm sure that would kill it.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

So if consumers stop buying the ps3 tommororo what than?  Just hypothetical
