It all went downhill for Playstation when it started to focus on the specs.


Yeah like for the Playstation when they were adding an optical drive which allowed relatively huge games. Or for the Playstation 2 where they talked endlessly about the specs of their emotion engine and added a DVD drive? You mean downhill like those two?

The PS1 and PS2 weren't powerful at all. They focused on games, not technology. The PS3 never had the focus on games, only on technology.

That's why it's losing by an extremely big margin, whereas the PS1 and PS2 were marketleaders by an extremely big margin.

 

I disagree , the whole point of the technology was to support the "high end gaming" approach that Sony wanted to adopt with the PS3...the technology was for the games not the games for the technology.

Where Sony tripped up is that they sacrificed affordability and accesibility for the "high end gaming" approach hoping that the Playstation brand name would justify the high price point .

not really

people brought PS2's because it was so betetr than dreamcast and so "powerful"

SONY lied in their marketing n made PS2 & PS3 seem like systems from a distant planet & very powerful.

 

DeJa Vu!

i wish sony would learn



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.

My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.

this is such an arrogant business strategy, look at the current market leader in games, the DS and Wii are weaker then theri compeptitors and yet dominate the console and handheld arenas, when will Sony learn that graphics dont sell products, the experience does.
