Market Strategery
If they were people, the conversation would go something like this:
Sony: Our console is a SUPERCOMPUTER. Our "next-generation" console lets you go online and play electronic media. It will replace your PC.
MS: Thats.... awesome... we only made ours a game console with a unified online presence and streaming media capabilities.... 4 years ago.
Nintendo: We decided that by forcing developers to use 8-bit graphics, they'll be forced to focus on gameplay.
MS: Our console did 720p... 4 years ago. Is that why Halo 2 had such terrible gameplay.
Sony: By releasing a betamax player with video game functionality, we'll be able to compete in the format war while driving the last profit increasing branch of our company into the ground!
MS: Thats... a great strategy you've got there... We made our HD disc a seperate component. We didn't realize that everyone wanted to buy a game console and a video player at the same time. It was lucky for us that we could make it run with our computers, since without a PS3, we still need those.
Sony: I wish there was some sort of science that covered manufacturing, then we might have known we could only ship half of the 12 systems we planned to ship at launch. Hah, works out though; 12 systems at $15,000 will make us some serious coin, and not effect our plan to saturate the market with bluray.
Wii: We're shipping 6 trillion to dollar stores around the country.
Sony:....
MS: We shipped our "next generation" console LAST YEAR.
Nintendo: We've got Zelda and Smashbrothers.
MS: Halo 3 anyone?
Sony: RIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAAAACERRRR!!!!!!
