The Sony Playstation is a console that has been designed by Nintendo and put together by Sony. It is a console with a wealth of 3rd (and 2nd) party support, so Sony didn’t design the Playstation and very few games were actually made by Sony. So what is the Playstation department? A huge advertisement company mixed with a production line?
Well the Playstation 2 is where Sony got their chance to prove themselves but it was never as good as we all hoped. The games have yet to set the world alight, the console is very difficult to work on and in a year it will be outdated by the Gamecube and X-box. So what are Sony experts at doing? Making TV’s, CD player’s and DVD player’s. A TV type system appeared on the Playstation one, the ability to play CD’s has always been possible to do on a Sony console and DVD is now on the Playstation 2.
This is why I think the X-box will be able to do a lot of things a PC can do because that is what Microsoft are good at. Now Nintendo and Sega are two companies whom expertise in gaming hardware and software.
So what right has Sony got to nearly put Nintendo out of the hardware business (thank goodness for Pokémon) and force Sega to becoming a 3rd party developer? These Japanese giants are masters at making consoles unlike Sony but it is Sony that sits on top of the gaming market.
Is a console where advertisement, the use of a DVD player and with capabilities to do things that a PC can do, a console that should be leading the gaming market? The future of gaming may hold a console that cooks you dinner, washes the dishes and puts the cat out, oh and it also plays computer games. What is happening to the gaming industry? Will the future of gaming herald the death of the games console? Will an expensive multimedia console be the only thing left?
Here’s to the future
