Hardcore gamers can't catch a break. Things are looking grim for the hardcore holy grail, the PS3. Resident Evil 5, a series born on the Playstation, a series that has Playstation written all over it, can't keep up with its 360 brother. Ouch!
To kick a dead horse, someone wrote an article about the 10 reasons PS3 is failing. Those are all valid issues of course, a $500 PS3 can't run a game better than a $200 360 - that disrupts Sony's entire marketing strategy of being the superior system. But so what? If Sony addressed every single issue in that article, they'd still be in 3rd, or 2nd at best.
The real reason PS3 is failing is the same reason 360 is failing, they're "hardcore" and therefore doomed from the start. They're designed from the ground up to appeal to teen boys, a strategy that might be good for a game, but not good for an entire system. The market is larger than that, and has been larger than that for quite some time. Only Nintendo listened.
you're a moron
