RIGHT ON DAN !
exactly what i said, over th eyears, sony always won the market by comercialing and marketting alot, without anything to back itselfup !
example:
THE PLAYSTAION ONE IS BETTER, IT HAS THIS THIS AND THIS...
in the nut shell it was even with the N64 in power ! except that sony urged the system so they could have the best sellers. as for the PS2, same deal, the PSX did just came out that sony already had planned to realease PS2, people been like, why byuing DREAMCAST or N64 when the PS2 is coming fast, thing is, people waited 3 years before it actiually came out ! yet they do it again, the PS2 comes out and they already talks about the PS3 !
again, sony is always behind, reguardless of what they do, they are always behind !
another example:
PS2 cames out 1 year before it was supposed, to, they had to get the market because the XBOX would own it before they do... so they rushed it....
other example: online playability was waited and delayed for over a year before it was actually released to the public, it took them even over a year to get online ? damn, that was harsh for people, talk about let down !
let's talk programming wise...
the PS2 was suppose to be the best console to play with and program with because of its EMOTION PROCESSOR ! yet, it became the worst console to program, it cames second after the SEGA SATURN !
other example of that...
even tho the DREAMCAST has the samn POWER as the PS2, the DREAMCAST version of DEAD OR ALIVE 2 is way greater then its counterpart.
so again, all sony does is being late on others, all they want is a part of the market which is already out of their reach ! the only HAND HELD that had a chance of competting back then, was the GAME GEAR from SEGA, yet, even tho it worked fine and was awesome... they never tryed to make a new one, so they losed their only chance of getting the market.
sony, again, trying to get the market of FANTASY games, tryed making LEGEND OF DRAGOON, which is a great game in itself, but speaking of graphics and the likes... was really behind all other games which were now and for the last 6 months squareless, smoothing polygons was there a while ago, yet they did it like it was in f7 !
so again, sony = always late on others... a few good games, one or two good things here and there, but otherwise always late !
but, i must admit it, they are good in marketting things !
as for the prices, well i saw a friend of mine, so sold SONY that when the PS2 came out he RUSHED and bought it the same day... man, it was 500$ canadian over here !
i ask you the question, who in there right mind would pay for a console that much costing with only one gamepad and one game ? it was insane, yet he bragged about how cool MGS2 was but how stupid was the PS2 to bug that much !
see, hardcore gamers i hate, they don't even have any sens into them they are sold and that's the only thing that makes sony still be in the competition !
oh and by the way...
