More Than A Number

This seems to be a trend with Sony, releasing ‘new’ versions of their consoles that do little to nothing else but be compact. They do not add any functionality or performance enhancements and if they do the changes are not worth buying a whole new console. Maybe if there was a trade in option with a small shipping and handling/upgrade fee to cover Sony’s expense, then maybe these ‘new’ versions would be worth the money. But for the time being they are nothing more than expensive collector’s items that will only gather dust and be forgotten.

This trend started with the PS One, Sony’s first CD home gaming system. Exceptionally ugly and bulky, a compact would have been nice to have when the system first came out but after a while people forgot about the PS One’s looks and focused on its performance. Which, given the times, was exceptional. Sony really paved the way for console gaming as it is today with the PS One and that may be what they are trying to preserve by re-releasing old consoles with new looks but they should really be working on pushing the envelope with their next console (and maybe change the name) so they can regain their place at the top instead of repainting their old works and reselling them.

But repaint them they have and as a result, Sony is still losing money with the PS3 slim. Some people will buy them but not in the numbers that Sony needs to get ahead of the competition. They not out of the game yet, but if they continue down this path Sony may lose the console war.
