It just seems to me that Sony is living in another world…

“I’ve said in the past that the PS3 is a better example of ‘livingroom technology’ than the 360, that much is obvious.”
Its not obvious to me. I have both, yet I use the 360 about 20x more than the PS3. I used to use the PS3 more to watch Blu-Ray and still do, but most of the non-gaming stuff is watching movies on Netflix or streaming music off of my computer. I find (now that the new nav is on the 360) that I am using that a lot more for the non-gaming stuff. As for gaming, well I use the 360 about 99.9% of the time. I know I’m just one person, but I don’t agree that it is ‘obvious’ that the PS3 is a better ‘livingroom tech’. Sorry.

I’ve said in the past that the PS3 is a better example of ‘livingroom technology’ than the 360, that much is obvious. But the internal differences are for little considering how development has gone for it with only a few games to show what it can do.

As for failure rates… you’re aware those problems were largely addressed nearly a year and a half ago, right? Not to mention the replacement of faulty motherboards with the fixes incorporated.

There was a big slide shown at last GC. It showed that music videos were coming first, followed by the movie download service, to PSN. Nothing’s been forgotten, and the movie service wasn’t scheduled to be available until Q3 anyway!

I’d wager that exclusives on the 360 will in the future actually be more sparse than on the PS3, because (a) Sony has *much* larger internal game development capability than Microsoft and (b) third party publishers aren’t going to want to go single platform unless they get serious wodges of cash, especially when money’s getting tight. Now, if MS pay that cash, then I’d guess it could be about even.

Anyway, I was under the impression that the ratio of console exclusives on each platform was roughly even anyway?

I still cant get over how well the 360 is selling even when they break people just buy another :O

Blu-Ray is sucking the life out of it like a giant spider eating a big fat fly.

How can a price drop lose you a billion dollars??

Plus, the problem with his logic is that it’s all short term.

They may make a profit this year, with a relatively small install base, but in the future, that small install base is going to hurt them when other platforms take all of the exclusives, and most of the new customers.

If they price that right they’d clean up, I’m sick of rental by post.

I thought the most interesting bit of news in that interview, was confirmation that the Cell chip is going to shift to a 45nm process in the middle of the year, which is more than likely what the next price cut is dependent on.
