Posts: 9 | Stop saying PS4... You don't need to wait for PS4 for the PS3 to be big or for Sony to start trying to paste the pavement with 360's. Look, as was stated earlier, Sony is a huge company but more importantly, it is a marketing machine just like MS. What you are slowly beginning to see is that they are giong to sell it as if it should be part of your life (maybe replace your life like with "Home"). People forget PS2 was also not an immediate success. It took about a year. The problem is that MS/XBox always shoots themselves in the foot. I think MS learned its lessons after the first console and is taking a new approach, which is come out faster, cheaper, and let there be more choices in games. The first console had better graphics than PS2 hands down and the 360 developers and games show that they still have a leg up in that department (you can clearly see it in Madden and the new NBA Street as shown on gametrailers). But the games were boring...except Halo series of course. What 360 has a leg up on, but nobody knows unless they own one, is the potential for a master home integration tool (download movies/TV shows, media streaming of videos and photos, music, etc.). I don't see them telling anyone and that is bad. Sony is going to make the general audience believe that they are the Home system and MS is going to lose out because Sony is going to catch up. The PS2 was not for casual gamers, they were for gamers. The old XBOX was for techies who liked to juice up their console (neon lights,skins,mods and downloads and patches for media streaming). It was like open code for everyone and that was cool. Sony always has that tech protection and you couldn't do that with the PS2. So hopefully the 360 marketing team wakes up before it's too late.
