Book on the failure of the PS3 released

Quote:

The PS3 had been perceived as a failure by most fans but the mass media have often avoided that topic. But now, the newly released book “Why did the PS3 fail?” by Tane Kiyoshi directly labels the PS3 as a failure and attempts to analyze the factors which led to this current situation.

The author Tane Kiyoshi is an editor for the subculture + gaming magazine Continue and originally stated that the PS3 would succeed.

Wow... A lot of haters?

Seems a bit premature to publish a book with that title.



PS360 ftw!

Currently playing..........

Gears of War 2, GTA IV Lost and Damned, Little Big Planet (Yes I said I had no interest but my girl wanted to try it and we did and now Im hooked )

 

 

why did the ps3 fail? they need a BOOK to analyze this? jeezzz.

1. Cell processor problems during development. poor yields etc.
2. having to halfway thru the dev process get a graphics chip since the cell was not panning out for graphical ability.
3. lack of MUST HAVE games at release
4-10000 PRICE!!!!

i can guaranttee that if the ps3 came out at 299 for the 20gig and 399 for the 60gig that the ps3 would have wiped the floor with the xbox360 and most likely the wii as well.

price is everything for the mass consumer.



The author must be pretty mad about Sony if he decided to write something like that. Wonder what he exactly wrote in the book though.



Deep into the darkness pearing

Long i stood there

Wondering

Fearing

Doubting.

 I think the book talks about launch failure...  and he is most likely comparing the numbers that are out right now to what he expected which would have looked pretty similar to the Wii sales in Japan.  It failed his expectations...  well that and Sonys...  but that's another story ;)



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
