Poll: Sony's problem

[gibboss28]

So the original iPad wasn't released last April?

Looks around a year to me.

Except that's not every year, your claim.

That's two years in a row, not enough to actually establish a pattern. To state every year and then claim "well they released one last year!!!!!" Is dishonest.

Let's take a look shall we?

Looks pretty damning to me. More annual consecutive releases than not.

Fucking hell, I knew they did it with one or two products but...again, I restate fucking hell.

Apple never reward loyal customers, they release the same products every year with very small tweaks and market it as sliced bread 2.0! Like normal sliced bread! But thinner and more expensive!

I love how I mention a dishonest application and you go and demonstrate exactly that.

Besides, then you have to count multiple versions of units like the PS3, and that doesn't help your argument that Apple's doing something different.

But if you're cool with dishonesty, that's okay. That's probably why you're goalpost shifting from "every year" to "more often than not," posting a chart that actually demonstrates a decrease in frequency of product (with only a couple exceptions, hardly the big shocker it's supposed to be) releases as "damning evidence," or ignore that Sony released a PSP variation 3 years in a row, and this new one will only be a 2 year gap itself. And that's not counting superficial changes.

I stand by my original statement that the original premise here was dumb, that the original PSP as a platform was out for more than five years before the next release and complaining about the updates is silly.

But equally silly is the "Apple's worse" mentality, which primarily works only if you're willing to villify one and not the other or ignore similar behaviour.

They made what 4 psps? The original, the slim (with more RAM, thinner), the 3000 (I think this version cannot be hacked by modders), and the GO (which was probably to test out how much people would like a sliding cover psp in order to properly design the NGP, which looks more like the original PSP).

There are only 3 versions of the PS3, the ones with BC, the ones that don't and the slims. All the other models were made with varying memory storage to offer differing prices. They didn't release the 160 GB version the year after they released the 80 GB version and label it something new.

Please don't try to compare Apple to Sony. They release the IPhone, IPhone 3G, IPhone 3GS and IPhone 4 all within about 3-4 years. Almost nothing improved from the 3G to IPhone 4 either. It seems that they just release a new IPhone after every small progression they make with the technology rather than completely improving their product.

Are you complaining about progress?

Go live with the mormons man.

What does that even mean? Mormons don't believe in progress? How so? I've known some pretty progressive Mormons.
