What is Sony's strategy?

The subject of strategies came up in another thread (well, I brought it up) and it got me thinking: what exactly is Sony's strategy?

Microsoft seems to make it their mission to chase down exclusives and provide a steady influx of games.

Nintendo brings in new market demographics.

Sony's strategy, on the other hand, seems fuzzy and non-existent. Can somebody clue me in on what it might be?

it's top secret. It is most likely something like the Russians used on the germans in WW2, lure them in then circle them and get the kill.

Well, they are trying, and it shows. Though the sells are good, with better marketing and exclusive and LESS DELAYS AND INSTALLATIONS, it would have sold a lot.

And I like the ps3, and though I know I'll get the smack, all I have to say is when the ps2 came out, they had the most amazing strategy ever!! They have literally flip flopped in my opinion. Delays and unecessary features. Honestly I wouldn't mind since the xbox 360 has features and the Wii and it's lack of games at times. However, Sony is acting strange. I like the ps3, but like I said, they were the big dog with ps2. Their strategy now is blu ray and delaying games. no offense

Vic wouldn't be a sheep, there would be no games to fry peoples faces off of stoves.

They're lulling all the companies into a false sense of security by sucking so hard.

Then they shall shall take over the world, and everyone will have free muffins.

Launch a suscessful movie format alongside a relaible, powerful and future eqquiped gaming console aswell as improving their first party output.

I know I sound like a Sony exec but what I said is true lol.

The lack of third party isn't voluntary me thinks.

The movie format thing rings true, but seems rather lame from a gamer's perspective. Still, fair point.

Their first party output doesn't seem improved at all. In fact, it seems worse. It seems they still rely on third parties. Third party games/multiplats is the only thing that makes the PS3's library better than the Wii's.

If it wasn't for 3rd parties, the Wii's library would slaughter the PS3's.

imo, Sony's strategy comes from evolution and revolution

PS2:

evolution - it was a success because it was a DVD and a gaming console in one system.

revolution - since many people back then where interested in having a gaming console and a movie player in one system, it spreaded out and it was the only system to have both available at that time.

PS3:

evolution - they brought in blu-ray as the big brother to DVD with all it's hi-def capabilities

revolution - i guess some people just got tired of watching low-res and wanted to try something new hence blu-ray popularity.. like most fanboys are saying.. "people bought the PS3 for blu-ray not for games" :roll:

to me it seems like a good strategy tbh regardless of how much they sell it...

Becoming multi-media whores is some kind of revolution?

thier strategy was to put a slow reading not needed format called blu-ray so that they could beat hd-dvd,

as far as anything else i got no clue

It seems to me that all that has really improved is quantity (relative to the time period of course).

isnt it obvious?! they're buying their own consoles!!1

Everyone is trying to get more people into gaming. Via body interacting with the teles. YIKES. Well you know last gens big thing that was hip was DVD + gaming mix. they cant do that twice in a row, That is untill DDR came out man! Woot! What a revolution!
