about bluray:compare hd-dvd and blu-ray, then add sony's agressive policy along with their deals with the companies
it didn't win because the blu-ray was good
and what about the deals?
the people behind HDDVD were making the same types of deals to nab companies, both were
a few companies decided to jump ship from HD-DVD to blu-ray instead and basically created a chain reaction
QUOTE(RNorthex @ Jan 7 2011, 06:23 PM) sec:sources, y'know, they didn't only sell it for 599$ because they knew fanboys will be craving for it
and at the very beginning it was hard to develop games for the ps3, again, not because they just felt like making the system that way
the price was basically for the stuff included and they were still losing money which each system sold
fabrication for the cell processor was expensive
built in PS2 hardware which retailed of about $150 back then for a standalone ps2 unit, but focus on the EE and GS2 chip
blu-ray player which was also pretty expensive back then compared to today
and of course of the rest of the PS3 hardware to the RSX chip, memory card reader / writer, wireless rechargeable controller
behind hard to develop for has nothing to do with system security
simply developers wernt used to the new system architecture, and eventually they did, some better then others though...
anyway this is all getting off topic
