Epic´s Rein backs up ps3 as the market leader

gamesindustry

Nothing much to say realy, he´s more or less right in what he´s saying, playstation is still the one to beat and what happens during a launch is nothing new, high prices, to little games, small child like diseases, etcetera, nothing new under the sun.

It´s happened for every single console, including ps1 and ps2,xbox, and so forth, and it happens for pc aswell.

Have to say that i think that things have matured realy good for sony and the playstation 3 since it´s recent launch in japan and usa and things are looking realy good for the european launch and the future of the ps3.

Just take the backwards compability as one example, sure initialy less games will work, but that´s also the games that´s less popular and more games will be added as time goes by, so no big deal at all.

But that´s not the only point of view, we also get the ability for ps2 games to scale up, which was impossible with the previous hardware solution, but it´s now you guessed it, possible.

So all in all, the new backwardscompatible solution is actually for us, the end users, better.
