Remember when Sony dropped the price of the PS2 from $299 to $199 just a few months after the original Xbox release?! Forcing the competition to do the same, which wasn't a pleasant price cut so early for the Microsoft .Microsoft, without its software business, and Nintendo, without its handheld business, would never have survived such a scenario.
>>12044030Based Sony, should have killed them like they killed Segay
>>12044030I remember how easy it was to have all 3 consoles as a jobless teenager.
>>12044110I remember how easy it was to play games>turn system on>insert game into system>enjoy the game
>>12044128It was easier for a lot of things that were function driven.I don't need wifi on my microwave.
>>12044128>Play PS2 upstanding>Scratches your games
>>12044278i miss palm pilots
>>12044293It doesn't tho
>>12044030>Harmony of Dissonance priced at $22.99 new2002 was wild
>>12044030>microsoft office XP priced $130>a entire console with pentium 3, nvidia gpu and HDD priced at $200.Microcock was really that desperate to subvert the video game industry
>>12045979subvert it how exactly
>>12045979Do you realize how easy it was to pirate XP?
>>12044030I brought the Xbox when it got that cheap, not really because I wanted it too badly but just because of the knowledge that it was a super good deal. Had fun with Halo split screen and Outrun but in the end my reaction was meh, its ps2 with slightly better graphics. I would have been perfectly satisfied to stick with the ps2.This is way different from the previous generation, I had an N64 then got a ps1 and was absolutely captivated and also when I got a Saturn cheap that too with its unique VDP 2 graphics.>>12045979And they still lost, what hope would Sega have had
>>12044030MS was always so damn rich.
>>12044128>except if the disc is BLUE then in that case FUCK YOUTo this day I have no idea why Sony made a racist console
>>12046074Microsoft was the one who paved the way for what is now the standard. This started with the sucess of the Xbox360.I remember reading in an old magazine from 2005/06 that Sony was strongly against DLC and microtransactions in video games with its upcoming PS3, while Microsoft wanted to monetize everything imaginable.
>>12046430America is always the one who paves the way. Been that way for 100 years.
