Sony PlayStations ready for tough competition AP - Posted at 6:53 a.m. PST Monday, February 8, 1999
FOSTER CITY, Calif. (AP) -- Gaming consoles have historically faded from popularity after three years. The makers of the Sony PlayStation, which first appeared in September 1995, are determined to break that trend. ''PlayStation has been a tremendous achievement for Sony, but I think they're pretty close to the peak of their cycle,'' said Jeremy Schwartz, senior analyst at Forrester Research Inc. in Cambridge, Mass. ''They've enjoyed a combination of good graphics, good sounds, low price and for its time it had reasonable performance. That could change.'' mercurycenter.com o~~~ O |
