Why Microsoft will win the console wars

Posted on Tuesday, 27 June 2006 by Speed, source: 1Up
1Up's Sam Kennedy has updated his blog with an article on what Sony has been doing wrong up until now and how that will result in Microsoft maybe winning the console wars for this generation.

Honestly, I think a lot of PlayStation's success has come from its cool factor -- it's always been the cool system to own. I'm sure a lot of that coolness came from the games themselves, but it was also the brand -- the vibe, the design, the ideals, and so on. Sony needs to recapture that cool with PS3. Stop insulting our intelligence, stop pretending you're something that you're not, and start sharing your true vision for the future of gaming and beyond. People are always more than willing to pay extra for cool, even $200 more, but they need to wholeheartedly believe in what they're supporting. Sony, you need to make PlayStation cool again.

Really interesting blog entry, especially seeing that although Sony does get a lot of hits on the head, the author also tries to look on the positive things.

I honestly find MS games superior for FPS and Racing sims - the XBOX LIVE service will not be matched by SONY and without LIVE, the PS3 will be hollow compared to the LIVE community experience.
