Reflections on the Holy Trinity

1up has a piece looking at gaming's future by reflecting on gaming's past. What do the launches of older systems teach us to expect from the PS3's ... eventual debut. From the article: "Shouts of 'Dreamcast' ... fall a little flat when you consider that Dreamcast was more of a last-ditch attempt from a company that hadn't turned a profit in 10 years. Microsoft isn't bowing out anytime soon, which means that being out in front will probably be an advantage -- by the time Sony launches, the 360 will be over the launch hiccups and rolling with a steady stream of new software. On the other hand, if Blu-ray is as big for the PS3 as DVD was for the PS2, Microsoft could find itself technologically inferior -- a direct consequence of its rush to market. "

What holy trinity are we talking by hackwrench · 2006-03-13 06:42 · Score: 0, Troll

A father, a son, nor a holy ghost are mentioned anywhere here. One might suggest that Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are the holy trinity of gaming, but how do they map to the previous set? Not to metnion that Nintendo isn't mentioned in the article. Wait~! This is the third playstation iteration and there is the concept of three in trinity... That couldn't be it could it... (Rather lame if you ask me)
