PSGamer :November 2006, Sony had won the 6th generation console wars with the most succsessful video game console of all time, the PlayStation 2. Sony were riding on the crest of a wave of unprecedented popularity and were the new kings of the home console market. The market leaders released their 3rd console in Japan and the US in November 2006 with the European launch following in March 2007, however the 7th generation would not be smooth sailing for Sonys new machine.
As part of PlayStation LifeStyles masterplan to ramp up original video content, each week theyll be rolling out our PlayStation Store Sale Spotlight, the video series where we highlight the latest and greatest offers on Sonys digital storefront.
Sony was oddly absent from a Gamescom conference and as such, Skewed and Reviewed have posted an opinion piece asking if this move was overconfidence or strength in silence.
