Saw a Sony inteview with a top Sony video official. He basically said that since Sony helped Blu ray win the video war it was only right for Blu ray to help them win the console wars. He then went on to say that they would beat the other gaming machines. Said Nintendo was only for gaming families and Sony were for the serious gamer. Would never guess from this arrogant statement that Nintendo Wii sells about as much as Sony & Microsoft together. Would sell more if they could build them. Just amazing.
Other tall tell sign that they are in trouble is the same executive said the PS3 was a ten year machine! Every other platform has had a 5 year projected life. 10 years is a long time in the game/video market.
Games have been recession proof so far. Doubt that will change. They are cheap entertainment. Game sales are up even though most other electronics are down. Sony exec also said people could eat out less or skip a vacation to get PS3 and it would be worth it. Amazing.
Thanks
