Your topic did not address the similarities between previous consoles and the PS3, but merely the opinion that a console's fate could not be decided within its first six months. Thus, the fact that Sega was already in financial trouble is irrelevant. Kestastrophe
How can it be irrelevant? A company's strength canplay a huge role in how their products perform. You don't think so? How do Xbox and playstation stay afloat when they lose money on each console? Company strength.
Its irrelevant because the topic of debate was the possibility of a console's fate being decided in its first six months, with yours being the opinion that a console's fate could not be decided in its first six months (For the record, I agree with your opinion).
Playing devil's advocate, I provided anecdotal evidence that a console's fate could be decided in its first six months (Dreamcast).
Obviously, those factors that you listed are completely relevant in determining a console's success, but it is not relevant to this debate.
I swear system wars would be the greatest place on earth if everyone could formulate well written and thought-out replies :) I seriously love reading such replies. Carry on.
