Insomniac Games CEO and helluva nice guy Ted Price told GameDaily that he believes the PLAYSTATION 3 has become a "whipping boy" for the media, theorizing that "I think everyone just wants to fill it full of arrows because Sony's had some pretty amazing success over the years. And it's easy to overlook that it's been, I think, the fastest selling PlayStation console." Well, that may be, Ted, as I don't have my sales figures handy, but I think that assumption overlooks a number of other important factors. (Five hundred and ninety-nine dollars, obviously.)
I would think it's pretty clear that the combination of high price, the loss of numerous exclusives, various Sony PR missteps and little in the way of standout exclusive software is probably the reason behind some of the cool reception. But, hey, I just work here.
While Price is concerned, justifiably so, of negative press and its impact on his company's PS3 game Resistance: Fall of Man, some of us who own both aren't as upset about the alleged muddy spin. While I feel I'm getting the most out of my investment in this impressive piece of kit, others are having a hard time justifying the buy in. I also can't say I'm too unhappy from an ownership perspective that the press is keeping Sony on its toes to work harder at making the PS3 a success.
