Ditch the multiplayer paywall. Add value to PSN+ but keep it optional.
Done in one.
Nah, Microsoft is playing catchup now. They still have several advantages; price, consumer trust, not looking like idiots, etc.
I don't mind the online play paywall so long as the service actually improves over time.
Announce Legend of Dragoon HD.
Please note that I am posing a question, not giving a statement.
Obviously today's news evened the playing field when it comes to used games and online policies for both of the next gen consoles. Sony made a clear point of emphasizing all of the things Microsoft announced today for their box, which ate up quite a bit of time at their presser, and also gave them the lead when it comes to public image, word of mouth, etc.
Now that one of Sony's main advantages over MS is gone, do they need to do anything about it? I'd love to hear what GAF thinks. I personally feel that, despite today's announcement, Sony is in a good position for the launch of the PS4 this holiday, albeit slightly less dominating when it comes to bullet points over the competition.
TGS will be Sony's "Last Stand". If they can't re-invigorate the Japanese gaming industry, as a whole, then I really can't see what's left for them. If their hometown ain't feelin em.....
Uh, so the Wii U is going to win?Nope. Sony still have a huge upper hand. The price.
The cheapest console won every generation. This tradition will never change.
This. Why use extra fuel to extend your lead when you're already winning?
Uh 100 dollar less expensive and no Kinect is all they needed. Why should they respond to the fact that they just publicly embarassed MS on the world stage?
Nope, the damage is already been done.
Uh, so the Wii U is going to win?
As another has stated, the best answer is no answer.
Since acknowledging that MS did something correct is a sign of showing that they perceive them as competition now.
They know pretty damned well that MS has dug themselves into a huge ass hole and doing some last minute switch-a-roo like this isnt going to save them instantly.
So, a prospective rapists is about rape you, then he sees your friend with a gun and says, 'Just kidding about that rape bit, all is forgiven?'
No. Just......no.
Uh, so the Wii U is going to win?
