Here’s a couple of thing’s I’ve been pondering all day.
Why have Microsoft been hyping the crap out of their xbox 360 sales numbers over the last couple of weeks. It seems like every other day they’re putting out a press release saying how great they are. Could it be that they know that the price drop on an aging system will only work so long and they want to make the most of it while they can?
And what’s with the need for Microsoft to compete with everything. If you look at the new software upgrade, the so called “new xbox experience” it’s clear they’re targeting nintendo and the wii. Sure the wii is selling like hot cakes but it’s a cheaper product aimed at a different segment of the market. While Microsoft and nintendo go at it it leaves Sony with the high end of the gaming market all to themselves, and Sony have stated repeatedly that they are not interested in the low end casual gaming market.
and another thing…
Just what is going on at Adobe? I’m not talking about the fact that they’re not exhibiting at Macworld expo or that they’re laying off 600 employees. I’m talking about camera raw and Lightroom. It’s been a while now since they upgraded Camera Raw with support for some newer cameras and so far no sign of an update for Lightroom. Considering they both share the same engine and that they are pushing Lightroom as “the” workflow tool for digital photography, surely they would have added support to lightroom first? Could it be that slower sales of CS4 have forced a re-think of priorities? Given that at the moment only CS4 supports new cameras like the 5DMKII are adobe trying to send a message?
