What is Sony thinking?

Seriously most gamers are now in their 20s and 30s and not a lot of us are willing to spend 600 dollars on a system when that can easily pay for our license plate or a downpayment on a car or furniture.   

Not to mention the absolute lacluster lineup on the psp which was also qutie pricy when compared to the DS alternative.  Which also just got a lot better with you now getting an improved and lighter wieght system for the same price as before. 

Ultimatly though what's really going to kill sony is the outrageous deveopment costs of cell technology and blue tooth.  These are not shall we say horses with the system blinders on their vision skewed to the only system doing well on the market either.

Developers are already investing in all three systems already.  Square has FFXI out for the 360, and it's working on the wii so it knows whats it's like to program for all three systems and it doens't take a market analyst to tell you which one is easily going to  pull in more profits per development cost.  Konami as well has already begun wii development and many other big names are also very active already in the tri system  war pushing titles for all 3 systems.

Ultimatly this is as it is every 4 years not a war of systems but a war of costs and profit often at the cost of the system makers first and developers second. 

A lot of people fail to realize this sadly and play fanboy pushing for their favorite system.

Ultimatly it's the devs who decide which system wins becuase no matter how good the graphics and processing without good games it wont' sell. Let's face it it's the metal gear solids and final fantasys that sell systems not the hardware. If it's more profitable to make those games on another system if they can take a bigger slice of the pie you bet that the devs will do just that.

Unfortunatly Sony keeps sending the message of "we dont' care about exclussive titles" particulary with the comments of losing grand theft auto last week.

Ultimatly it's not the gamers who are going to determine Sony's failure it's the game developers. 

Things are not looking good.

R.I.P sony.
