Epic Games Boss: Sony "still the one to beat" |

It's fair to say that critics of Sony and the PS3 aren't few and far between, and at the moment it appears to be a bit of a "marmite" affair with the console - you either love it or hate it.This time Epic Games VP Mark Rein has stepped out into the spotlight to take on critics of Sony, saying "Sony has a very, very strong brand, so in my opinion, they're still the one to beat." He went on the explain about the other next-generation consoles strengths, and why he thinks Sony are still in first place.
The Wii is an impressive piece of hardware, but as you get the visually more impressive games coming out for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, as the marketing dollars get turned up to support the larger quantities of machines, with potential price drops and titles like Singstar which appeal to the larger market... Those machines will ignite, they'll take off, and they'll sell just fine.
If any critics are reading this then you may want to consider something which Rein pointed out - people just seem to want to take a smack at [Sony] because they're the leader.
From a completely unbiased point of view, we'd have to agree that Sony is still the one to beat for both Microsoft and Nintendo. Although other consoles may be selling faster, this could just be due to the price of the PS3, which will go down with time. We also have to remember that the PS2 was the best selling console last generation, so until the next next-generation consoles come out, Microsoft and Nintendo are after Sony blood silicone.

Same goes for PS3, but the other way around. Instead of pointing out the positive things, only the negative thing shall be mention. Positive things of PS3 must not be mention or else.
I understand you, MERPSKIS. I really do.

How is that possible fans cried out for a four player controller slot they got it. They wanted a hardrive they got a 60 GB. online + get online capabilities for free. they got it. Music to put on ur ps3. they got it. Enhance graphics CAPABILITY. THEY GOT TIMES TEN. sONY HAS DID A LOT FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. And for as gaphics goes and gameplay for those who don't know ANYTHING ABOUT THE MAKING PROCESS unless its sony making the game its the game studios that fans should be bi***** at. every system has its black sheep game. PS3 gUNDAM, 360 VIVA PINATA, Wii Happy feet . I could name more but i don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings who bought them. lol But on a more serious note all the systems promise or said things to make you by the system so true some not some that just ran into bugs either way all system lied about something. And on the price issue of course ps3 is going to most expensive. Who has the most features. thats like by a 2005, 2006 and then buying a 2007 lexus and complaining that the 2007 is more expensive. Why is everyone getting their panties in a bunch. People pay the samething with a computer why should it be any different. I betch if all systems were 300 hundred dollars who would when. And the last of my rants titles everyone keeps saying ooohhh sony lose so many games to MS are forgetting about games like Resistance best game of the month GI, Heavenly Sword, Lair, God of War, Metal Gear(and for dreamers no its not comming to 360 read Hideo Kojima's bloggs Xbox had it chances and the sales sucked)Final Fanasty and who else knows what Sony's been hiding. ok thats it let the comments roll.
