Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii: It's all in the stars? |
We have reported to you numerous 2007 predictions about gaming, specifically about the next-gen wars. We've heard about what analyst Michael Pachter had to say and even ordinary people like Benjamin Willcock said his piece about the matter.Count this bit as something off-topic. European website, Games.Blogo featured a different take on the Wii vs. PS3 vs. Xbox 360 scenario. How different? Well, they consulted the expertise of Astrologer, Elizabeth Hathaway, and she came up with an astrological analysis based on the horoscopes of Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. Well, we told you that it's a different take. Here's what Ms. Hathaway had to say (cue weird, gypsy music):
On Sony and the PS3:
Sony's sun in Taurus in sextile with Saturn reflects a culture where hard work is inherent to its success: strong work ethic. Sony makes durable products. The PlayStation is in fact a little black box – and this is a very Saturnal earthy image. The product is sturdy – designed to last...Sony's weakness is probably that it is not inclined to "change a winning team". This is it's Achilles' heel. At the top - there will be a conservative culture.
Nintendo is intelligent, good in positioning itself on the market, and it makes attractive products. There is a lot of attention given to the form (Venus in Libra)...Then the Wii, this launch horoscope once again shows- in this case a particularly strong Scorpio theme. This is interesting, because Scorpio is a fixed sign and the Nintendo Wii is an active product. Gamers are used to sitting down to play, with the Wii, you have to get out of your chair...Also Nintendo's birth chart shows that the company has its progressed Sun in square with its radix Saturn. This suggests that in general, the company will have to work hard – very hard – to book results.
This could be a good year for Microsoft. Jupiter's entry into Sagittarius heralds a year in which Jupiter will transit Microsoft's radix Sun and Mars. This shows expansion, activity, and optimism. Sagittarius is good at adjusting to new circumstances and will aim for big, bigger, biggest...Success will come slowly – Microsoft needs to take a long breath. It will take them some time to establish the Xbox 360. People need to connect with the product first. But it will come for sure.

"With regard to the launch of PlayStation 3, as an astrologer, I would have suggested they wait until Jupiter was in Sagittarius. However, the European launch takes advantage of the Jupiter ingress into Sagittarius, so it could be that European sales are higher in the period following the launch than they were in the US and Japan."
You've got to be delusional if you honestly believe the layout of the stars and planets dictates the economy. Hell, you're delusional if you think it even influences the economy in the slightest way. Does this woman get paid for this sh*t?
She has a point though, keeping back a console to avoid Christmas is a genius idea, considering most Game shops do the majority (80-90%) of their business in Nov/Dec then March is a great time to launch!
This is all hilarious. I mean, the PS3 has a "saturnal earthly" image? WTF is that?
But here is the creepy part: I'm a Taurus, and I chose the PS3. Coincidence or fate?
To add on to RommelTJ, I am also a Taurus and I also choose the PS3. Really Creepy.
I would just like to point out, that my name is Elizabeth Hathway and not Elizabeth Hathaway. Visit my blog for latest article on iPhone. astrologie.blogo.nl
