Your thoughts on iterative vs true generation Consoles?

......

strictly talking the gaming industry, nothing more, nothing less, but you already knew that, if negative critism of sony hurts you that much, then your in the wrong place.

Lol you're an idiot who doesn't know what you're talking about. "Falling behind on modern developments" while Japanese companies have the most critically acclaimed games this month and Sony has VR while MS had to cancel Kinect this gen lol. Get a clue.

so that makes it ok to be behind in the iterative device space?

ok pal... keep sucking that Sony D.

Qualcomm (US) has significant market share with Android based phones while Apple has iOS and their iPhone/iPad/iPod hardware. Sony uses American Qualcomm SoCs with their flagship Android phones.

Qualcomm has recently taken-over EU's NXP. NXP has FreeScale's PowerPC which is important for the defense industries.

The best Japanese semiconductor company is Toshiba with 9th place.

Pinkanimal's claim on "Japan was one of the pioneers of mobile technology and they still are up front" is BS.

Japan has problems with transitioning from non-digital mobile device leadership to digital mobile device leadership. Japan Inc's TRON (Japanese OS) and SuperH (Japanese RISC CPU) projects are failures.

I'll take on Pinkanimal's pro-Japanese arguments.

Japan was the first country to launch 1G network, but most of the mobile networking techonoly is not from Japan, but northern europe and US, saying they were one of the pioneers of mobile techonoly isn't wrong tho.

Yeah, it's "sort" of becoming like PC where you have to keep buying hardware to get the best, however, you still can't get the best. You are still stuck in 30 fps for many games, and you are still stuck with whatever options they may or may not give you. You have a couple more choices, but they aren't necessarily better choices, just kind of an illusion of choice with a slightly higher resolution. Meanwhile, you still have to pay for online, and the price has been steadily increasing every year.

When I said it's become a mess, I kind of meant for the beginning of this gen. At least last gen, I could still get online for free with the PS3 and Wii U.
