Maybe because they were trying to beat sony to the market, build strong partnerships with other companies? God they saw the bigger picture. Which gives them an advantage, if sony had two brain cells they would've made sure PS3 was out BEFORE christmas. Morons, but then again this is now there standard operating procedure, to be idiots.

[QUOTE=Saki GT,Dec 7 2005, 12:21 PM] With the FF franchise becoming available on the Xbox, there aren't many reasons left to get a Playstation.

MS has done a great job of buying up game houses to get must have titles and creating a programmer-friendly environment for game developers. MS still looses money on each Xbox, but as a long term gamble, its finally paying off. Maybe somday MS will actually make money at something other than its Office suite and OS.
Rockstar games buddy! The only reason I don't own a xbox is that game I want it and i want it first PS3 has me because of this, damn Microsoft, if they would just buy the whole world things would be so much better

Thats because its was a 200mhz computer as opposed to a 700 something.
Man they are totally different architectures... You should know this and also that it has nothing to do with why the systems couldn't be streamlined.

Doesn't make sense to streamline it right now, just get it working and out the door. Rinse and repeat until Sony is done with.

Dude it doesn't matter if they lost money on any of them and on the next 100, if thats what it takes, they are trying to get market share once they have they win by default.
