I can't help but respect your approach to gaming here but also at the same time its one of the most rediculous things I've ever heard. I'm cool with brand loyalty as long as that brand offers the best experience for me. If that is no longer the case, the brand means nothing. Sony microsoft and nintendo are all faceless corporations that employ 1000s of people. While Ken Kutaragi may decide on the business strategy for the playstation brand name...he doesn't have the slightest clue how the Cell works, how bluray works or how PS3 works. So by respecting him, you are basically respecting sony price cuts, sony press releases and sony marketting strategies rather than sony products, sony games etc... To appreciate people that made your precious Ps1, PS2 and PS3 and the games you love you have to respect the faceles engeneers and game designers that worked on it...hence why brand loyalty doesn't make any sense. Most of the people responsible for PS1, PS2 PS3 may not even be working at sony anymore...but toshiba or wherever instead. Maybe even microsoft...lol. |
I really don't want to go full moon on this one but as the CEO of a division, you're responsible for what comes out of it. If he doesn't know how blu-ray works or anything about the cell's architecture, that only puts more blame on his head. My sole reason for respecting him is for his original invention the "playstation" because it was generally his idea not sony as a whole or anyone else there for that matter. I was always just a casual gamer who just stopped by my friend's house to play Killer Instinct. His invention has provided countless hours of entertainment for me and even a game as old as Legend of Dragoon rivals MGS4 with the amount of enjoyment I'm getting from playing it. Sure, many have moved on from the old generations and I may sound ridiculous but I'm not done yet and probably never will be lol.
