Fixed the topic to be less misleading. Added the word rumor since that's what it is, seems less like an announcement.
Ontopic- Not going to be a fanboy here, but lately all Sony can do is imitate Nintendo to try to sell their products. Their strategy for succeeding in the video game market as of late has been this-
1- bash competitor's products into the ground and use the catch words like "kiddy", "casual", etc
2- wait for the sales to see what system did better, all the while still bashing the other companies
3- when the competitors turn out to be successful, copy everything they do
4- continue to bash the competitors despite almost no difference and try to say your tech is better when it isn't
So what we have here is a huge load of hypocrisy. I was a Sony fanboy in about equal amounts that i am a Nintendo fanboy for quite a long time, loving the PS1 and PS2. But now, they're becoming a joke, an insulting and condescending joke. There's nothing unheard of about bashing your competition, but stealing the tech from the competition while pretending it's new and does things the other ones can never do is ridiculous and childish. It's terrible business too. I think Guild put it in another thread that if a company has to use competitor's hardware to succeed, there's something very wrong.
And this is not bashing either Move or this alleged PSP2. They could both turn out to be decent for all i know. But i am bashing Sony's attempts at ripping Nintendo off and their constant childish rock throwing. It's insulting not only to Nintendo, but potential gamers who own Nintendo. That condescending attitude never worked. And the one other company who tried it back in the bit wars is no longer a game system maker (SEGA).
Sorry to those who love Sony and are huge fanboys who won't hear anything against their company, but as an unbiased participant in this console generation, i have to call their marketing practices out as very childish and derivative. All they seem capable of nowadays is copying and mud slinging. Reminds me of politics... >_>
