...I think that the way in which Sony has chosen to approach the PS3 could have been better. It's very expensive.

Ogawa also praises Nintendo for their efforts on their latest console, the Wii. He says:

If you look at videogame history, Nintendo hardware always extends on what we have. They design, develop and create new toys.

He even calls the Wiimote a "a fun device to design games for" due to its innovation and the new challenges it poses for game designers.

Would marketing the PS3 differently have helped increase its sales? Now that the launch is said and done, and now that Sony seems adamant with the direction it has chosen for its latest console, we can only speculate...

Story is bleh but....Id buy a Vaio PS3 - I'd kill for one

If it has Vaio written on it, I'll buy it and Im not the only one - its actually a very interesting theory and Id like to see it happen

Yeah, i think i'd be more inclined to if it said Vaio on it too.

I can see the logic, that it could appeal to more people, but I think, they would also be some, who, may have bought it now, but, if said Vaio in it, wouldn't.
Tis just a case of, which would generate more sales though.

But meh, im still undecided on whether to get one lol.
