Als ich diese Meldung gelesen habe, dachte ich ja zuerst, Sony bringt die nächste Preissenkung und kommt mit einem extrem niedrigen Kampfpreis daher.
Was sich dahinter verbarg war jedoch viel kurioser:
ZitatAlles anzeigenKeeping Gaming and Entertainment Simple
The 2008 holiday season was an exciting time for video gaming and the Blu-ray side of the interactive entertainment industry, and 2009 promises to follow suit. As consumers continue to invest in their entertainment needs this new year, the feature sets of the three multi-functional gaming systems -- PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360 and Wii -- become that much more important to consider.
PLAYSTATION 3 has always been about streamlining the gaming and entertainment experience by giving consumers the most features and functionality out of the box, there is no immediate need to upgrade anything to get a rich entertainment experience, as the console comes standard with:
- Built in Blu-ray drive for HD movies and mind-blowing games
- Built in Wi-Fi for wireless gaming and Internet access
- Huge hard drives for storing games, movies, music photos and more
- Free online gaming and entertainment access through PSN
- Ten year's of value with a future-proof system via firmware updates that offer new services and features
The Xbox 360 and Wii offer a set of features in their own right. However, when you take a look at the feature offerings side by side, there is only one true winner in delivering total value and price.
We’ve compared the lowest entry points from each manufacturer -- PS3 80GB - $399, Xbox 360 Arcade - $199, Wii - $249.

The PS3 is the perfect example of a product featuring superior technology and a sophisticated design creating an ideal all-in-one entertainment product. The Xbox 360 requires additional money, multiple upgrades and additional external devices, putting a burden on the wallet and adds clutter to the entertainment center. And the Wii’s lack of enhanced features comes at the expense of a comprehensive entertainment solution. So as PS3 continues to evolve without the need for additional parts or expenses, expect the competition to continue peddling add-ons in an effort to keep up with the Jones’.

Das ist mitlerweile nur noch peinlich und dreist, wie Sony versucht das eigene Produkt hervorzuheben, indem man die Konkurrenz schlecht macht. Hinzu wird im beispiel der X-Box 360 das teuerste Beispiel genommen, indem man das Arcade-Modell wählt und die HDD extra dazukauft etc.
Wie immer wird Preis-Leistung auch bloß über die verbaute Hardware defininiert.
Man sollte meinen Sony hätte aus Fehlern gelernt und würde die Marketingstrategie zur PS3 überdenken, aber scheinbar ruht man bei Sony erst, wenn man die PS3 gänzlich versenkt hat :/
Mal ein weniger ernstes/sinnvolles Thema meinerseits, aber ich fand das ganze doch einfach zu kurios ;D
