Battlestation! The PS3 is Under Attacks!

Mishtram | April 13, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 Gaming Tech/Hardware

1up releases an interesting feature where they look indepth at a number of aspects of the PS3, including the launch, the short term effects, long term hopes, and a number of games effects on the industry (for example, Killzone 2 being hailed the second attempt at a Halo Killer). It ends up with a long interview which goes into a ton of details about the PS3 and it's current and hoped status.

It could do no wrong. Hundreds of millions of hardware units sold (enough so that you could find one in every three American households). A name that was near synonymous with "videogames"...similar to "Nintendo" during the late '80s. But last year, gamers turned on the PlayStation brand.

Everyone from the hardcore gamers to the mainstream press was dogging on the newest console in the PS family. What happened? How did an unstoppable juggernaut suddenly turn into an embattled victim? Is the PS3's reign over before it even began? We delve deep into the next-gen console war's unexpectedly bloody frontier to find out what went wrong...and where Sony intends to go from here.

Ha, I thought this was an interesting article. I liked seeing some of the predictions, however hopeful, that were made while they were talking about the rather disappointing reaction to the PS3 over the past half-year.
