Sony is going to have to start thinking logically on this. If Microsoft is able to produce a powerful system and release it for as low as $300 for just the core system, then what's stopping Sony from doing the same? If they want to go the extra mile, they can make it around $400. However, they're doing more than what they need to do and it's costing them near a thousand dollars. No one is going to dish out $1000 for a video game console. Computers, sure. But they're computers. They do more than play games. The PS3 needs to be a computer that surfs the internet, downloads music, brings up word docs, and is completely customizable if I'm going to spend even $600 on it.
I believe that most companies going multi-platform was a good idea. Square-Enix is now starting to make its way to the X-Box, so at least the popular RPG company well allow us to play its games if the PS3 horribly fails.
And, as we're all very well aware, EVERYONE loves the revolution and its new controller, so I see a lot of support for nintendo by just about every company in the future. MGS, Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, Tales of, Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Devil May Cry, ect ect ect all might make an appearence in some form for the Revvy.
Remember. Sony doesn't have any Playstation brand games like Nintendo does. Nintendo is a game development company in its own right. X-Box is the same way. Bungie is sort of like "The X-Box Game Company" in a way.
So, seeing as how the Playstation only really has 3rd party support like Square-Enix, Capcom, and Konami, those companies can easilly hop over to Microsoft and Nintendo. The PS3 could very well be SOny's downfall if they continue to goof it up. The 360 is what the PS3 SHOULD be doing, the The Revolution is...well...it's nintendo. The Underdog. And guess what? The underdog is rising from the ashes at mach speed and blowing everyone out of the water.
Sony, get your asses in gear or you all are going to fail. Miserably.
