Igama elithi iimfazwe phakathi kukaSony neMicrosoft alizukufa. Ngokukhwaza kukaMicrosoft kukaPeter Moore malunga nexabiso lekhonsoli yemidlalo yePS3, ngokuqinisekileyo, abantu abalindelanga ukuba umphathi we-sony, uSteve Howard, ajike esinye isidlele. Kubuhlungu ukubona abafana ababini benxibe iisuti zamandla kunye neetayi zamandla bexabana njengabantwana ababini ebaleni lokudlala. Izandi kum ngathi zilwa malunga nokuba ngubani onokuthi atshise eyona ikude. Kodwa ukusukela oko uMoore ebefuna ukubhengeza, ke, sinokunika neentloni uHoward ithuba lokuzikhusela kwimidlalo yakhe yePS3.

Inokukhunjulwa into yokuba uPeter Moore weMicrosoft usebenzise ixabiso leSony console njengebhodi yasentwasahlobo ekusunguleni iphulo elitsha lokuthengisa leXbox 360. UMoore ukhuphe iingxelo zokuba abadlali badlala ixabiso lokuthenga iNintendo Wii kunye neMicrosoft Xbox 360 ngexabiso lekhonsoli enye yemidlalo yePS3. Akuthandabuzeki ukuba le ngxelo yenza nokuba abalandeli be-Sony hard-core babe madolw ‘anzima ngokuthenga i-PS3. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, iidola ezingama-600 yimali enkulu. Ngapha koko, ithuba elinikezwe nguMoore alikho-nto-lukhetho: lukhetho phakathi kwezinto ezimbini eziza kulandela kunye nezinye iindlela zokudlala okanye enye yePS3. U-Sony kufuneka enze okuthile; kwaye uSteve Howard owayehlala ethule wagqibela ngokuthula.

Kwinkomfa yeendaba yakutshanje eTokyo, uSteve Howard weSony Corp ukhuphe ingxelo ethethelela ngexabiso elitsha leSony. Ubanga ukuba ekuthengeni ikhonsoli yemidlalo yePS3, abathengi bathenga okunokwenzeka. Ingxelo engacacanga enjalo ifuna ukucaciswa ngakumbi kwaye uHoward unyanzelekile. Ngokutsho kwakhe, nangona ikhonsoli yePS3 yamkelwa njengexabiso ($ 599) kuneMicrosoft Xbox 360 ($ 300) okanye iNintendo yeWii ($ 250), ibonelela abasebenzisi beTekhnoloji ye-Blu-ray-eyenzelwe ukuba ibe yitekhnoloji yexesha elizayo. Ngaphaya koko, ukuba ukusebenza kwekhonsoli entsha yakwaSony kufikelela kubuchule bayo obupheleleyo, abasebenzisi baya kuxhamla kwitekhnoloji ephezulu kunye neminyaka yokusetyenziswa. U-Howard ukwacacisile kwingxelo yakhe ukuba i-Xbox 360 kunye nee-Wii zitshiphu kuba zizinto nje ‘zenguqu’ zetekhnoloji enobuchwepheshe obuphantsi xa kuthelekiswa nePS3 yexesha elizayo.

Nangona kunjalo, abahlalutyi bemarike kunye nabakho ngokwenene, ngokungathandabuzekiyo bayathandabuza eli bango likaHoward. Amaxesha anzima, kwaye abantu baqinisekile ukuba bacinga malunga nokuba i-Ps3 imidlalo console ifanelwe ixabiso layo. Oku kunokujongeka kukubi ngokukhawuleza kwaSony kuba uphononongo lubonisa ukuba iigrafiki ezixhaswe yi-Blu-ray ze-PS3 zilingana kuphela nezo zexabiso eliphantsi. Ukuba kukho umohluko, ezi azicacanga ncam, ngaphandle kokuba ufuna ukuchitha ixesha lomdlalo uhlalutya iiphikseli zemizobo. Nokuba umlawuli uthathwa njengongaphantsi kuleyo yePS1 kwiminyaka esixhenxe eyadlulayo. Ngapha koko, imidlalo ye-Wii isilawuli esingcono kakhulu. Ingxoxo esekwe ku-Howard isekwe yabhitya kakhulu kwaye ayixhaswanga kakuhle. Ungathini xa i-PS3 entsha ingafikeleli ngokupheleleyo? Ke, kukho imeko yabathengi abaphoxekileyo bekhalela ilahleko yabo. Kuthekani ngeminyaka emide yokusetyenziswa? Ndiyathandabuza ukuba kudlule iminyaka emihlanu ngaphambi kokuba izigebenga zemidlalo zize neprototype entsha. Ngokuqinisekileyo, uHoward unokuza nento eyomeleleyo kunempikiswano esekwe ‘kwisakhono’. Imidlalo yePS3 inomdla ifuna ipetroli ngaphezulu kwesizathu sayo. Okwangoku, uyazi ukuba yintoni endivuyayo ukuva ngayo? Impendulo kaPeter Moore kwi-Sony’s ‘potential’.
