At this rate the PS3 is going to start to really dig deep into PS1 profits over the next couple years.
Can Sony really contemplate the PS4? Can they come up with a new strategy so this doesn't happen again?
I guess they won't have to try and pull another media format over the line with it, but the PS4 will have a lot less momentum at launch than the PS3 did.
If the PS4 is priced reasonably, it'll have a lot more momentum at launch than the PS3 did.
The strategy is pretty simple, honestly. There's no need to force down a new format. By the time the PS4 rolls around Blu-Ray will be hitting its stride and likely overtaking DVD sales.
Make it more powerful, keep the blu-ray drive in the system, make it fully backwards compatible. Launch it at $400 instead of $600. Have a better software lineup for launch and they'll be fine.
