It was an error caused by intimidation.
The PS3 is what it is to beat the Xbox 360 in performance. Why? Xbox 1.
The Xbox 360 is what it is to beat the PS3.
Nintendo just saw what the other two were doing and said 'Fuck it' so they made the Wii.
Tease.

the Wii won this generation either way ! nothing was stopping it!
Microsoft didnt even care if it got first place , it just wanted Sony out ! you can say it cockblocked every single advantage Sony once had .Dont get me wrong Microsoft hurt itself just as much but the difference is they can recover , not so sure about Sony.
DE JA VU !

Well well what do you know behind that wall of arrogance and sarcasm lies a man with some common sense!
Finally we agree.
| MikeB said: What Sony really needed to do was make a cheaper system that could compete with the 360 better on a price standpoint I don't agree personally, I would not have minded if the PS3 would have been more expensive and more highly specced, provided of course 1st parties provide even more impressive games. I think they should just concentrate on maturing the PS3 further, cut out costs and continue to produce Epic games and expanded functionality which demonstrate well the PS3 hardware. We will see how competing with the 360 goes in the future, but personally I am happy my PS3 being more sturdy, nearly noiseless, has Blu-Ray/Cell and harddrive by default and already has distinguishly impressive games available. (Of course quality R&D and manufacturing costs money, money I am happy to invest in a quality product) It may well be that for the long run the 360 will not be able to compete with the PS3. |
I guess I should have clarified. To reach that 'mass market' appeal and possibly sell significantly better (Atleast early on) I think that Sony needed to make a cheaper system (Possibly without Blu-Ray) (Similar to the 360). I'm personally happy they didn't go this route as long as software keeps being developed for the system.
And I agree with your last three paragraphs. They need to keep plugging away on great first party titles and keep improving. My only concern is can Sony whether to figurative storm? I think the PS3 will still beat out the 360 when it's all said and done (Assuming continued support from Sony).
Like I said, Sony has a lot more flexibility than the 360 or the Wii at this point in terms of pricing specifically.

I'm not ignoring those facts. The ps3 may do very well in the future. The fact is, it's not doing very well now. The 360 has many more software sales when compared with the ps3 and the ps3 loses a lot of its exclusives because devs know they just can't make that much money releasing only on the ps3. >< My grammar is crap right now, sorry. I got called in to work at 4 am and i'm hella tired atm. This last hour or so is the only slow time i've had since. =/ |
Does the 360 have 'that many' more software sales when compared to the PS3? It seems to me that they are pretty solid when you consider the extra 8 million or whatever amount of people the 360 has relatively.
And while I wouldn't say the PS3 is doing wonderful right now..The PS3 is really not doing that bad. Considering it remains 200$ higher than it's primary competitor (Which it just outsold the 360 last week WW).
We already know that when the PS3 narrows that price gap with the 360 it outsells it weekly/monthly. Price is still the biggest factor holding the PS3 back.
