Forums - Nintendo - Sony makes RIDICULOUS comment

Gimmick =/= risk.
The Cell B.E. & Bluray were a risk.
Making a crappy motion control with smart marketing was/is a gimmick.


Sony risked the PS3's credibility to save Blu Ray (which the  bigger picture for Sony as a whole). Nintendo risks credibility by pushing the envelope for new styles of gameplay and app use (Which they've been doing since before I was born). Sony has never risked anything for the sake of gaming. Sony risked gaming for the of their unpopular electronics.

I have a PS2 and PS3..... but I HATE Sony as a company. They are the most arrogant jack asses ever, and think they can change an arm and a leg more because it says "Sony".



Jack says Nintendo is a competitor, but Kaz Hirai said that Nintendo is not a competitor to Sony.

Sony launched the PS3 at $600.

PS3 at the time took ~$800 to make.

Losing $200 per console is a pretty big risk...

Surely it would have been bigger risk to Sony to price it at $900.

Pricing it at $600 wasn't the risk, it was the neccessary thing they had to because of the risk they took. The risk Sony took was exactly the same risk they always take, which is trying to introduce a new format of media storage.
This time it at least worked (unlike betamax/minidisc/UMD etc) even if they did lose all that money.

"In an industry that's certainly had its challenges this year, we like to say that the environment where PlayStation wins is best for this industry. We have a brand that can play on a worldwide basis, young and old, male and female, where our competition tends to be relegated to either select regions or to select consumer audiences. ...We don't have unlimited money, we cater to a more mass market audience. I think we're willing to take a little bit more risk than a competitor like Nintendo is and ultimately we deliver to the masses on a worldwide basis and that's what we've done for the last 15 years." - SCEA boss Jack Tretton

 

That's what got to me. I don't care that he said Playstation is the best for the industry. That can be argued, but REALLY? Jack you must be on something because the last time I checked Nintendo is where you got a lot of your ideas from. Was dual screens not risky enough for you? Or maybe it was TILT SENSORS! I wonder.

Your thoughts.

If Nintendo and Microsoft are only appealing to seperate, concentrated sections of the market, and Sony is appealing to the ENTIRE market - wouldn't Sony be #1 and not in 3rd place!?

Yes they probably would, because last time I checked, Nintendo was the one that appealed to everyone, young and old, male and female.

And everyone here is saying oh I don't understand. Sony is the one taking more risks blah whatever. Yeah and they lie to people. Their commercials have a PS3 Slim with the slogan "It only does everything!" Yeah! Can it play PS2 games?



NINTENDO

nintendo forever . . .

people are still posting in this thread? geez, i have moved on a long time ago. =]



Total Championships: Nintendo - 4, Sony - 2, Atari - 1, Microsoft - 0, Sega - 0

It would be extremely risky for a man to climb mount Everest only wearing flip-flops. It would also be considered extremely reckless.

Sony took risks with the PS3, I give them that, even if they had a strong brand to work with.
But please, stop taking stupid cheap shots at other companies when you don't have the upper hand. THAT is stupid, and won't get you any respect from me atleast.
