While it’s somewhat hilarious for Sony to accuse anybody of having an expensive console, the PS3 manufacturer has come out fighting anyway, deflecting its own criticism by attacking both the Xbox 360 and the Wii. All of this trash talking would be much better if the companies were playing basketball at the same time.
“The Xbox 360 requires additional money, multiple upgrades and additional external devices, putting a burden on the wallet and add[ing] clutter to the entertainment center,” claimed Sony. “The PS3 is the perfect example of a product featuring superior technology and a sophisticated design creating an ideal all-in-one entertainment product.”
What Sony says is actually rather true, but unfortunately for the PS3, consumers will see on the shelves a $400 console next to a $200 console. A customer only really cares about what they see in front of them, and a vast majority of them probably don’t even know about the important Hard Drive or other features. Also, considering I needed to buy an HDMI cable for my PS3 not to have terrible visuals, while the 360 still looks fine without one, I don’t think Sony can fully have the upper hand here.
Sony also had some words to say to the Wii: “The Wii’s lack of enhanced features comes at the expense of a comprehensive entertainment solution. So as PS3 continues to evolve without the need for additional parts or expenses, expect the competition to continue peddling add-ons in an effort to keep up with the Jones’.”
Yes, imagine a company peddling add-ons in a sad effort to try and keep up with a more dominant console. Sony would never do that, right?
