225w ago - Smart House Australia has put Sony's PlayStation 3 console under heavy fire, by stating that the PS4 needs to come out now and Sony is falling too far behind.
They criticize Sony for not being like Nintendo, and being more interested in "grunt and performance than something as simple as family entertainment and a device that is exciting to use and cheap to produce."
Moreover, they actually doubt Sony has the ability to deliver a new breakthrough console in the future.
To quote: The Company that has been kicking Sony's backside is Nintendo because they have done what Sony could have done but failed to so because Sony engineers are more interested in grunt and performance than something as simple as family entertainment and a device that is exciting to use and cheap to produce.
So as games like Wii Fit and the Wii interactive sporting games clean up sales because of a simple interactive controller Sony is still contemplating what to do next.
This is not the first time that this has happened, Sony engineers did a great job of designing the walkman until Apple came along and gave them a software lesson that was more about designing an IPod that was more consumers friendly and easy to use than the Walkman. Now Nintendo has done the same but this time in the gaming market.
This is a Company that is living off yesterday's products and a brand that is looking sicker by the day. One also has to wonder whether they have the resources necessary to produce the Playstation 4 or even the people that are smart enough to actually deliver a breakthrough product.
i need to downgrade to 3.55
can you please help?...
As per the comparision of the Walkman and the Ipod, Apple is just like Nintendo its a gimmick that only sells because it has a massive user database of idiots supporting the shit that the company produces.
Another article from Australia which is worthless utter bullshit, thankyou for making us look even stupider to the rest of the world.
the wii is fun for party/family games and it's sice and price make it appealing, but there aren't a lot of games that actually use the wiimote's capabilites, some just use it as a regular gamepad, so nice idea but the game suck in using it and when it comes to hdtv the ps3 just rocks, can't compare with 360 though, it's just lame seeing how wii sucks in resolution compared to the ps3. And if u go for Movies, Bluray etc well Blurayplayers are at ~170-200€+ (aprox 225-260$) so have of the price of a ps3 is the bluray player included.
If they really would bring out a ps4 right now... who would buy it? right after christmas where ppl already bought their ps3
It maybe right that the wii is nice n small n cheap and the wiimote is quite fun, at least if u get some games that use it, but I'm certain that most pppl with a new (HD) TV will complain about the poor resolution of it, at least when they see a ps3 in 1080p the first time *g*
so when they released it they had lots of people waiting to buy them, im not saying its bad that they went for a different target audience, but because the playstation and the xbox are aimed at a different group of people than the wii you can never really compare them on sales or games.
if all three manufacturers went out and developed a console like the wii then they would have ignored the old market and it would suck.
I don't expect a new Playstation anytime soon. Also I don't think it could be called "Playstation 4".
Nintendo was just lucky but with offering nothing more than crap-ware games an old ports (be it on VC or polished up old gamecube games) they won't be that successful with their next console. I bought a Wii. But I never use it because it has no acceptable games anymore.
Wait until Sony shows their new controller (there are rumors of research for about 1.5 years now). Wait until stereoscopic play is introduced. Wait until HD-TV get's it's breakthrough!
It doesn't need a new console. Sony can just improve the PS3 as much as they want. It's not yet at it's limit. So why should they make a new console? There is absolutely no reason at this moment. They will come up with new concepts for the PS3. You'll see!
Sure sony had to cut alot of jobs, so did microsoft, does that mean the 360 is in any stronger position? Hardly.
Also how can u compare a ps3 or 360 to a wii? Yes the wii has outstanding sales, but thats because of the gimick which is involved with it. Everyone loves to play games, and hell playing them with an interactive remote control is cool! HOWEVER, the fun drys up quick. I bought my wii on release day, i played it for a few good months, got some fun and laughs, and now 2 years later, it sits in my bedroom playing dvd's. Do i game on it? Hell no, the controls on ALMOST any game are well..... shit.
Comparing the wii to a ps3 or 360 is like comparing gold to copper? Sure copper has a nice shine to it when its polished and its cheap, but dulls with age. where gold keeps on shining and looking amazing, ofcourse for a price.
So do i think the wii won the console of the year? Out of all 3, yes. In a fair comparison, no... only reason it sells good is because the kids are like "Woah! I MUST HAVE THAT" and parents are like "Well hell its cheaper than the 360 he wanted
Out of the ps3 and xbox 360 there basically neck to neck, both have there strong points, both have there flaws. Only time will really tell, personally i dont really care which come out on top, as im having fun gaming on both
