With under 24 hours till launch i was wondering how much of a failure this could be for Sony. I mean you can still go out to the shops and place an order and get it tomorrow (launch day)! something that was imposible with both the Wii and Xbox360, intact they sold out weeks in advance.
So where has it all gone wrong? Was it the lack of information?Was it the staggering price? Or was it just that there was no demand for it, that the 360 and Wii had managed to fill its void?
Personally i think it was a mixture of them all. I mean i know nothing about it other than it uses Blue-Ray disks! Not a good thing considering i was fairly informed about the 360 and the Wii. Then there’s that price 400 odd quid for something that is just as good as its £200 competitor and the fact that it costs a lot more than that to make and Sony are making a BIG loss on each one. now as for the 360 and Wii filing the void, Well that im not as shore about, im shore there’s room for one more console if not 2 or 3 but they need something to make them unique. The wii had its amazing controller and the Xbox had its HD graphics, so what dose the PS3 have, well HD graphics and a controller with till ability smiler to the Wii’s and i think that’s the main place where its gone wrong, It doesn’t have a big pull, nothing unique like the Xbox or Wii.
So would i buy one?
The simple answer is no but then again if i was given one i would be very thankful to ther person who gave it to me or if 400 quid magically appeared in my hand then i would probably buy one. but for know ill leave it to the people who for some odd reason really want one.
Thanks for reading
