Redemption Still Possible For Sony?

Gamasutra reports on the slim chance that Sony may still be able to redeem itself from its poor showing at E3. In a new 'Analyze This' column, they ask a group of analysts how things are for Sony today. From the article: "In spite of the higher than expected price points, we still expect the PS3 to be in high demand from early adopters at launch. But Sony must put more effort into differentiating its games from those of rival platforms, both in terms of original compelling titles as well as overall quality. Otherwise, later adopters will not be persuaded that the PS3 has anything more to offer. Sony must clearly also address its relative weakness in online, where Microsoft has a substantial lead."

    No. But for some reason people will still spend $600 on a console that has already been beaten when it hasn't even gone into full production yet.

    Are we talking about Sony redeeming themselves to normal consumers?

    Or redeeming themselves to Slashdot?

    Because they've got a good shot at the first one.

    but I'm beginning to have my doubts about Zonk.
