Switched On: the suite segment 4 PlayStation games
Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On , the column about consumer technology. 1 th`g Z`s set Sony apart from its home console rivals`s`en the extended lifecycles of its hardware. Rid`g the momentum of the massive install base, both the PlayStation & PlayStation 2 each kept sell`g strong nearly the decade after their debut, & years after their respective successors were introduced. In fact, as late as 2009, Audiovox began offer`g the PS2 integrated into an aftermarket ovehead car video system w/ the 10″ screen. Sony could pursue this strategy in home consoles because the PS2`s the runaway unit volume leader of its generation. Not so w/ the PSP. When Sony introduced the PlayStation Portable , it entered the portable console market w/ fierce, entrenched competition from the incumbent Nintendo, & the powerful widescreen handheld`s outsold by the Nintendo DS & its later derivatives. Sony couldn’t attain the market share it needed to steamroll exist`g competition.
