ha, hah, sony sucks

some highlights:

Graphically, the games looked a lot better than games on Sony's previous PS2 machine, but they certainly didn't look like a lot of the movies that Sony showed off at last year's press conference. Moreover, games like Warhawk, Resistance, and Gran Turismo HD didn't look all that much better, if at all better, than current games on Microsoft's Xbox 360.

Then came the more surprising and at the same time most disappointing news of all: pricing. ...retail for $499.99 and $599.99, respectively. A US launch date of Nov 17 was also announced.

One very well known game developer told me that it was a surprise that Sony would reveal the pricing for the PS3 at E3. "That was a big mistake," was the game developer's response. A well know game journalist also told me that the PS3 press conference showed that the console was dead in the water. "There will not be a PS4," according to this journalist.

Current Xbox 360 games already look almost as good if not as good as the PS3 games shown at the press conference and on the show floor.

So what can Sony do about this? At this stage there is little that the company can do. The only short term solution is to announce an even lower price for the PS3 but that seems unlikely and it won't affect the fact that their launch title line-up is not looking up to speed.
