I guess by now we'd all have a pretty good idea of what are the strong and weak points of each system.

If you could choose how an ideally perfect next-gen system should be designed, which characteristics would you like to include to make everyone happy?

Personally, I would love to have a system with PS3's power, Wii's ease of use and controls (plus price!) and XBOX360's XBLA capabilities and offers (including a very easy to use and inexpensive development solution like XNA to make my own little games). Wouldn't this be great? What do you think?

bye!

The intellivision had better graphics than the 2600.

And better games also ;)

Yeah, but it would make more sense to me to sell a PS3 and offer a HD TV at half the price, for example. In this way they make the PS3 appear like a gadget that no one wants to buy by itself....

I was quite shocked last weekend: I was in Singapore and went to one of the main electronic malls over there and there was something really amusing running on.

Sony arranged a road show where its HD TVs were on offer. The cheapest model on display was a 40'' one having a retail price of S$3,800 (about US$2,470). It was sold for S$3,000 "only" (US$ 1,950) PLUS a FREE PS3!!!

Are the sales so bad they even have to give it away for free as a "gadget"together withan already discounted and on offer item??? Impressive...

I wonder how many set they "sold" anyway....

never.

For two simple reasons:

1. price

2. the games will always be very close to each other in quality

The only way for Sony to rise again would be to cut the price and to fund new very high quality exclusive games.

I wonder whether this makes sense from a biz perspective or if it's probably wiser and cheaper to leave the PS3 to it dark destiny and start planning for a better PS4 where those mistakes will be avoided from the very beginning....
