I always enjoy reading these threads - there are always so many people who think they know Sony's business model better than Sony does, and who have little to no real-world business experience to go on.

No wonder, PS3 is rubbish and not as good as PS2 or PS1. Don't forget the yellow light of death.

And all it would take to fix it all would be one game on PS3 "only".
Sure it would have to be one of the best games ever made. I mean much better than everything else ever ever ever.

But the whole point of it all is to make a machine, get it in as many homes as possible. Get a selection of top selling must have games. Make licence profit.

The 360 had halo - A basic fps by pc standards. Where is the PS3 IP?

[citation][nom]ukgooey[/nom]This is all about who released that gen of console first. The PS2 came out and everyone got an erection and didn't bother with the XBOX when it released. MS got wise to this and released a poor quality, quickly knocked up shitty quality XBOX 360 that RROD'd for everybody who got one, with a long term plan to just fix them (or not) under guarantee. Then nobody bothered with a PS3.Clever Billy eh? I had to send my 360 back to him twice. And didn't get a PS3. So his plan for world console domination worked. For now.Most likely we'll see the same scenario again at the release of the next generation.[/citation]

Crude but pretty much spot on.

[citation][nom]climber[/nom]Throw in the ISP's bandwidth caps and you will be paying through the nose for all those movie downloads, in overage charges, whether they are through torrents or the Microsoft marketplace or the Playstation Store.[/citation]

Thankfully bandwidth caps haven't become the norm and I'll fight any company that tries it.

Actually Sony pulled out a trick to make us pay for a copyright enforcement device in our own living rooms... with every other console easily (even purposefully) hackeable theres a lot of room to recoup the money by making it a PPV device!

OMG.. all this debate is nonsense.. MS and Sony have the same goal.. just different strategies on getting there. IMHO MS has an advantage because it offers a tool set to make programing easier... on the flip side.. sony does not.. which in theory makes the lifespan longer but when your running a business.. development time is crucial so its logical to choose the 360.
I am a PC gamer and if either console wants my cash.. they need to add mouse and keyboard support for FPS and similar games.. then i will consider a console.
I love the versatility of the PC .however I hate all the patching and updates that go along with PC games.
Consoles have a distinct advantage in that regard, i just hate using a controller in FPS/3rd person games.
Are you listening MS/Sony/Nintendo?
That is all it will take for me to switch over.
