Look. I wish things were different. I really really do. I have nothing against the Playstation 3. In fact i think it makes pretty pictures, the thing is just too damn expensive and there’s really not that much to play on it. What I’m hating is Sony itself. The european market is now getting a butchered PS3 that has no backwards compatibitly. If i was in europe id import an american one today. Heck there’s ten sitting at my Target. Send me a 1,000 dollars and ill air ship it to you tommorow. How do you promise something and then rip it out because your not selling so many of your units you thought you would? And if you do take out features, then don’t you have a responsibilty to your consumer and lower the price?
And don’t even get me started on the psp. I kinda want one if for nothing else all the retro compilations on it, but when they hell are you going to drop your price? The DS is killing the psp worldwide and what’s sony doing about it? Hiring advertisers to play on game message boards acting like fans of the system and making really bad rap videos about how cool it is too own.
Sony, if you dont want to end up like Sega, SNK, Panasonic, 3DO, and Atari then fire some people and get it together. Of course with all the money your movie studios rake in for you it will probably be years before you have to file the Japanese Version of chapter 11. But keep acting like king of the hill and certainly you’ll fall off your perch.
