So, Mr.Bushnell states that the playstation is a failiure. He actually has some valid points to back up his claims.

1. That's funny hearing that from Atari. Because we all know, they are the master a succeeding in the current video game industry.

The PlayStation did not succeed because Sony had a Field of Dreams moment; it was supported because developers loved how it was easier to develop than the cumbersome Saturn and consumers bought it because the software was far cheaper than the N64.


that doesn't sound like an accident

What he's saying is that Sony was lucky. Infact all of his view is that sony is lucky. which in some way is true. Nintendo did not want sony to merge, N64 was cartridge based, saturn was hard to program for. all of this was luck in favour or sony. If was the other way, Playstation might not have existed. And now that xbox is on the scene, a full year ahead, sony needs to work hard to get people interested in its system.

whats that got to do with anything that bloke doesnt work for atari anymore he left years back and atari was massive in the 80's. the atari 2600 is still one if the best selling consoles of all time so maybe he does know what hes talking about.
