as impartial as jeff grubb and tom warren ones
Really what a lot of nonsense xD
I'd say with PS1 they were open and strived to make easier dev tools to break into the market. Especially with the ease of development in the 3d space.
Ps2 they went super arrogant and made a console that was hard to develop for but people mined till they found the good stuff as they had a headstart over the competition.
PS3 Sony went full on arrogant and spent more money on the cell than Sony even had at the time... Not even kidding. On the documentary "From Bedroom to Billions" someone went on record on saying that if PS4 failed that Sony would be dead... Not just the gaming division... Sony as an entire company!
PS4 they went back to the PS1 dream team of house, cerny, layden, shuhei etc to claw back the last bit of market share MS had taken from them.
With PS5... They seem to be balancing both worlds of arrogance and ease and simplicity of development... It will probably work out well for them. But MS is hungry and seemingless with limitless money at their disposal... Gonna be a bloody battle this gen for sure.
