So there have been a lot of people bashing each side of the cosole war. I have never been one to sit on the fence about if Sony or Nintendo or MS will win. Personally i am rooting for MS and Nintendo, Sony in my book has adopted the thinking that "They will buy it from us b/c we are Sony and we brought you the PS1 and 2." well that sucks for everyone that wants to order or eventually go to a store and purchase a PS3.
Estimates are in that Sony missed the mark on even delivering the promised 400k (actually only shipping 200K that also falls short of the 1 million they said they would have ready at launch) to the 150 or so retailers around the US. Nintendo on the other hand shipped out its full 1million at launch to the US and they were subsiquently gobbled up (partially i sure by the mindless rabble of people that didn't get the PS3 they were promised) on launch day.
What's my point here... that Sony had the advantage (bigger company, more money backing the system, bigger system) but they blew the lead that they could have gained on Nintendo, not to mention the fact that they have a lot of catching up to do with Xbox360 (out for almost a year now). Nintendo used its resources well produced the product and still has demand for more shippments. Sony, has nothing but demand. Granted that most people are buying the system simply to make money on ebay from reselling the system for damn near $10K. Thus effectivley taking the system out of the hands of the gamers that want them and putting them in the hands of gamers that just want the status of owning one. Oh and by the way Sony is lossing about $250 per PS3 that they sell, not including the price of labor, cords, and packaging.
Way to go Nintendo i will be singing your praises until i get my Wii then i will just be playing games. Sony... you have disapointed myself and so many others. If i could i would slap a big Dunce cap on your head and stick you in the corner. For shame Sony... For shame.
