Re: Microsoft's rush to next-gen could see the Xbox take a tumble
Tarkan, that's about the same thing as I used to say. If you launch early you have the risk of being like Dreamcast or Saturn and get killed off in hardware/support. If you release later than Sony you have the chance of being like N64, Gamecube, or Xbox. Getting less support based off of userbase.
Right now, I think taking Sony down can't be solved by a release date... in all honesty, Sony would win no matter when they release Ps3 assuming the hardware is a reasonable price and has reasonable features. What MS should concentrate on is getting the biggest chunk of the pie possible. In the respect, releasing early is not a bad idea.
