Forums - Sony - Sony is in danger of becoming arrogant? Gamezone explains...

"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1200 bucks for it."

Oh those days were epic

"PlayStation 3, you will see, will be far and away the winner when you look at it by March '08. They really, really will. It's something that is going to be a slow burner, and suddenly it's like a tsunami; it will just overtake you." lol



There's a difference between arrogant and confident really.

On the early PS3 days, they thought they had no competition at all. Today, they acknowledge that the competition is there and it will take that precious market share if you fuck up too much.

For the second year in a row, Sony took a direct shot at their competition during E3. They commented on how they gave consumers a choice when it came to the PlayStation Eye, reminding gamers “Hey, we’re the good guys that give you a choice. They’re the bad folks who ram their ideas down your throat.”

Funny, I don't remember here those words in their conference.

Oh, how quickly we forget the launch of the PlayStation 3.

The difference here, though, is the fact that Sony has done a good job of backing up most of their talk. This time around, they have the lower priced system that’s also consumer friendly. They never tacked on any peripherals, nor did they ever publically mention the idea of adding in any type of digital marketplace that would have brought DRM to the console. Considering how poorly their recent hardware launches have gone (599 US dollars, being resigned to selling the Vita as an off-TV screen for the PS4), they deserve to enjoy their success.

They can’t, however, let it go to their heads. We get it: you made the right moves and Microsoft didn’t. Sony has positioned themselves back to their PS2-era industry dominance. Remember what they were saying before, and during, the PS3’s release and post-launch failure? NeoGAF remembers.

Let’s just hope that it doesn’t get to their head too much, because their software line-up is looking bleak.

Hell, everyone’s software line-up is looking bleak.

This can't possibly biased can it?

Except Nintendo’s.

For the love of all things holy, buy a Wii U. You’ll thank me later, I promise. 

Oh, ok this is a Nintendo ad.

The article is not really wrong, but i don't think they will make that mistake again. This time at least.

However, when PS5 launchs, everything could happen.


@Neogaf
Great Quotes. hahahaha



Taking direct shots isn't arrogant though.... And thats when I stopped reading.



BTW - if all you have is regurgitating generation old news to try to make a point then chances are you don't have one. Remember the RROD fiasco? Yeah, Ms is in danger of having a huge failure rate /s



Damn! Those Phil Harrison quotes are gold! He hasn't been talking like that since he joined M$ AFAIK.

He was one of the main contributors to DRM fiasco. I think he was the one denying check ins after it was confirmed there were check ins. He also said it was user friendly lol
