Quote:I'll repeat it again, prices in Japan are often slightly higher but not by huge amounts of money. $50 at most, I'd say, for consoles... so $400 might be in the realm of possibility as I have suggested, but not lower than that unless they want to lose huge amounts of money (which they are stating they do not want to do).You still don't get it. It cannot cost that much in the U.S. Not unless it plays DVDs on top of games. Sony would do a whole lot worse if it costs that much, at least until the price dropped.
Quote:I have detailed them many times and they are definitely strong. This is different from the other consoles Sony has launched...You've detailed nothing but speculation. Congrats.
Quote:Not necessarially... but yes, most will be ports.Not necessarily? It costs a lot of money to make good N64 and SNES games. The IQue would have to be pretty damn successful to warrant original content. It would be all ports.
Quote:#s 1 and 2 are good points. Those are indeed good things Sony did to draw in developers. But still in any other console climate they still would have failed... it took Nintendo and Sega's major mistakes to give them their opportunity. Luck. I mentioned #3. #4 was a result of #1, #2, and Square going PSX. #5 was true too but really is the same as #3...True, Nintendo and Sega being stupid sure helped Sony, but Nintendo has barely changed in their way of thinking so I don't expect it to be much different with the PSP. And that still has nothing to do with luck. Sony saw a chance and took it. Luck played no part in them becoming the leader of the market. Not a bit.
Quote:You underestimate it, for sure.Right, PS2 games taking up almost all of the top ten software spots since the PS2's release is totally underestimating it.
