The next generation-console war that has raged over the last year continues to stay heated and action-packed. To add fuel to the fire, in an interview posted at Red Herring, Atari Founder Nolan Bushnell had some pretty nasty things to say about the PS3 and Sony as a company. According to this post he seems like an ardent supporter of the Xbox 360, and this is what he had to say—
"I think Sony shot themselves in the foot... there is a high probability [they] will fail. The price point is probably unsustainable. For years and years Sony has been a very difficult company to deal with from a developer standpoint. They could get away with their arrogance and capriciousness because they had an installed base.
They have also historically had horrible software tools. You compare that to the Xbox 360 with really great authoring tools [and] additional revenue streams from Xbox live... a first party developer would be an idiot to develop for Sony first and not the 360. People don't buy hardware, they buy software."
Ouch! Is all I can say; that was like a kick that landed right between Sony's legs, since Bushnell is a legendary figure in the gaming industry and his opinion definitely counts. I hope that Sony can salvage some pride by making sure that everything goes smoothly when the PS3 launches later this month.
