Forums - Sony - Sony: The Dumbest Guys in the Room

1) It seems that Netflix on PS3 is more of a move from Netflix, rather than SONY. Sony are supporting their own Video store on PSN, so I'm thinking SONY are probably getting some sort of Royalty fee payment out of the movies sold by Neflix on PS3.

2) Said it before and I'll say it again. THe PSPGO isn't a fuckin relaunch. It's SONY giving customers another option. One that's clearly a more profitable one for them. If it was a relaunch, the PSP3000 wouldn't be here.

3) The PS3 was made to establish new technology for future projects [also ones including the PS brand]. It was made to help IBM's Cell, Rambus' XDR and BDA's Blu-Ray to gain some earlier ground. AND IT's BEEN WORKING. Bluray won the format war and is expanding well. Major manufacturers like Toshiba and a few others are looking at, manufacuring or already selling Cell based computers and home electronics like HDTV's. not sure what's going on in XDR front. New tech means new development tactics developers had to use. It's not harder, just different. Many dev's have been saying this. There are just a few dev that don't want to learn new dev tactics and just go with the the familiar 360/PC layout and claim it's because the PS3 is too much work.

4) MS are the only ones charging for online. SONY's revenue from ads, PSStore and Royalty fees. Free Online is also considered one of the major advantages to owning a PS3 over a 360, which helps to bring in customers.

5) We still have quite some time before the controller launches... don't freak just yet.

Everything you mentioned has both positives and negatives to it. Some can be seen as advantages or disadvantages. Depends on what SONY plans to do, which you don't know...

I agreee with this

those so called dumb moves are what is causing lots of 360 owners to convert because they can't see the value in paying up for live as much anymore and having to put up with broken consoles.
if you ask me sony is doing this for the long run, and it will pay off just like the slim move did, yet so many predicted doom and look what happened, ps3 has not fallen below 200k, and now xbox360 seems to be in decline.

I'll tell it from the perspective of someone who owns all of the consoles.

The 360 has great online, and I pay 50 bucks a year for it.

The PS3 and Wii have free online gaming.

I pay 50 bucks a year for online gaming for the PS3, 360, and Wii.

That's a great deal, and I'm one happy camper.

This is incredibly idiotic, if you only have a PS3, your online fee would be zero. Why don't you split that $50 into 3 parts and mail $16.666666666 to to Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. WTF.

Incredibly idiotic? If I only had a PS3, I wouldn't have the best online service to be found on consoles. But I have 3 for only 50 dollars. I'm fairly satisfied.

people m$ lies live is not better than psn, it charges you for things you can get for free, nearly everything you can do on live you can do on PSN, add new additions of cross chat and netflix are coming soon, so what is left then, because you can connect to your friends via home if you want, all though trust me it's much easier to jump into a game and then invite your friends to a match.

Sony isn't the dumbest guys in the room, they are just the sore loosers. If PS3 wasn't such a flop I'm sure Sony would be charging for every feature they currently offer free. The only reason were getting so many good deals is because Sony is desperatly trying to claw back marketshare from Microsoft and not possible but their trying anyways Nintendo...

By offering free features, cheaper downloads, digital distributed movies they are hoping to make up for some lost ground. Just look how fast the PS3 is gaining on Microsoft. Every month Sony is getting one step closer to Microsoft and Microsoft knows it. About time for the next generation to start "Microsoft quit while your ahead!"

It's sad that gamers are really this misinformed...

lol fail?

I have multiple Samsung LCD TVs and have been more than satisfied.  In fact, as they are the official TV of the Xbox 360, I wish they were in charge of creating/designing 360s.  They'd last a hell of a lot longer.

Did u think the official 360 tv would be sony tv?lol

Did I say that?  There are more TV manufacturers beyond Sony and Samsung you know ;)

omg a new xbox tv lets all rush out and buy it ^^ lol
