They never seem to make their PS3 product stand up on its own. MS are just as bad though.
I can't remember Nintendo staffers said bad stuff about the competition, I am sure its out there but its not like the current slanging match.
To be honest I think with an American heading up the company now it seems they have change dtheir marketing tact and come out more aggressive. The product placement in James Bond was also pretty overt and I can't remember Sony doing that before.
So what they really mean is: "We fear the PS3 is actually going to sell much less well than we expected, so rather than have them sitting around on shelves we won't ship so many".
On the other handEh? Does he think that people can only have one console at a time?Nevertheless, Sony and a number of finanical analysts are still confident that the PS3 will win the next-gen war."As consumers begin to purchase a second console, we think that market shares will normalize, with Sony capturing around 45% of the total market, Microsoft capturing 35%, and Nintendo capturing 20%," said Michael Pachter and Edward Woo,a US firm who have recently produced a 188 page report on the subject.
lol it just keeps getting better and better
what a great start for the mighty ps3
Thats why people queued for days to get the wii and it continues to sell out 2-3 months after launch and the PS3 is sitting on shelves collecting dust in many places. Even if the wii is an impulse buy its a sale none the less, if sony had impulse buys they would be landed right now even it if is costing them.
It seems to me that sony are losing integrity with almost everything they say these days. They are like big kids, and MS aren't much better.
The very fact that they have made such a statement to me shows their worried about the inferior wii.
I also agree with George... I can't recall Nintendo saying anything to slag the compo off. They seem to be quite passive as they let Sony and MS slog out out while they continue to sell heaps of wiis.

Oh, there's a shockerand they wonder why people don't like them anymore.
Much as I hate sony, I think that the PS3 will end up with more market share than both the Xbox 360 and the Wii after a couple of years. I think that the PS3 is helping Blu-Ray penetreation and the percieved popularity of Blu-Ray will cause more availability and so sel more PS3's as both games consoles and HD movie players.
I read somewhere last week that despite the lack of porn on it, Blu-Ray discs were out selling HD-DVD 2 to 1. This is mainly because of PS3's.
"In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship."
Actually Sony started this and then Microsoft joined in.. Microsoft compliment the Wii thoughvery time either Sony or Microsoft talk about their consoles, they just can't help trying to bring down the opposition with childish remarks.

It could be the same story as DVD. A lot of people bought PS2's for a cheap(er) dvd player and they certainly boosted DVD sales.
Im trying to hold back on the next gen dvd front until a clear winner has emerged (dont want to be re-buying movies etc). However, if my 360 had a hd dvd drive built in then i would almost certainly already be buying high def movies. If i get a PS3 i dought i'll be able to resist trying a few blu ray movies out.
People buy porn?. I know it had a mjor effect on the betamax vhs war but i dont the lack of filth will damage blu ray penetration (no pun intended
) to the same extent.
