It is very obvious that i have a thing for Sony. I've been buying their products for years and although bias, i can put feelings aside and have rational discussions from time to time. Basically, this thread is just collected thoughts and predictions now that i have enough info to see where things are heading.
1. It seems things are looking up for sony's handheld in Japan:A title that stayed on charts for 4 weeks . I'm sure Sony sees what's going on and will take action accordingly, in other words more games like that in japan! The U.S. is a different story. We tend to like action so games like g.t.a., socom, and syphon filter grabs our attention. Sony, where are the sequels? Once the inevitable happens, which i think is soon, software sales will spike, followed by hardware.
2.Sony has said some outrageous comments no doubt and has since paid for them dearly. That said, the seamingly endless borage of attacks left Sony no choice but to humble themself and right their wrongs. Things like adding vibration, building software support, creating FREE top quailty online services, and possibly lowering cost shows that their mentality of "fans will buy anything we throw at them" are at an end. Now i'm not saying they don't have motives of making a profit. All i'm saying is that now they realize their customer have a brains and won't put up with their shitand now we're getting what we deserve.
Perdictions: My guess is that Sony's fruits won't be unrewarded. Sony in japan will see a steady increase in profit due to finding japan's sweet spot. No doubt japan will love home enough to slowly but surely lossen the handheld grip. That was bold to say but at this point Sony has nowhere to go but up.:smile: All the buzz will spill to the U.S. catching japan enthusiasts first until it's entirely in the spotlight(before it's fully released). E3 has a role too with showings of Killzone, Socom, MGS 4, all the heavy hitters but more importantly 1st and 2nd party titles. God of war 3 will make a showing in some form and everyone shouts yay at sight. Mgs 4 more importantly will completely silence e3...for better or worse either by delay or something else. By the time fall hits Sony would have dropped the price of PS3 $100, just in time for home, gta4, killzone, Socom5, and some other great but unannounced titles. Readeption!
