Im afraid youre right. Look, I guve my support to Sony. But seriously cant get over some of the most retarded things Ive heard their frontmen say & do during the start of this generation of consoles. They share ALOT of faults for the sour position they've gotten themselves into: Ken Kutaragi - obviously had a developing state of megalomania being so convinced that whatecer Sony would do the public would swallow it deep and hard. Despite being positive about Sony I still shake my head in disbelief about stuff like "two-jobs-buy-a-PS3" Krazy Ken. He underestimated the rivals LARGELY something that nearly ran the SCEJ business to the ground. Phil Harrison - The man greenlit, so many games that turned out to be HORRIBLE lacking alot of quality which he kept telling himself and the public, in denial was true. Catastrophies like LAIR, untold Kingdom, GENJI 2 Heavenly Sword, several of FPS's (he was fucking saturating the god damn market with this) ,HOME (god DAMN IT Phil *facepalm*) etc.. ONLY one out of all those shits was a gem which i still appreciate: LBP. Otherwise both of the above completely LOST what their fanbase & target consumers demanded. I think the only guy who can save SCEJ comes in FAR, FAR, FAR too late into the SCEJ management is Shuhei Yushida - the dude has displayed surprisingly alot of competence to me from what Ive seen him say. Plus he's alot more willing to admit that his rivals/competitors have a good job. Also considering he comes from the background as the third party software consultant/manager gives me alot of belief leading towards which games the fanbase will want. Thanks to him I see PSN developing faster and pushing the developers to make features come out for the PS3 gamers. He's a gamer himself and can associate with what gamers enjoy. He's the only guy at SCEI I have some ounce of faith to believe that he may sort things out for Sony. At least clean their bad rep among the hardcore gamers.

Phil Harrison was a quite a good guy for Sony. Frankly Sony would never have had half the games it has exclusively from 3rd parties if it wasnt for him.
As for the games I bolded, what? I'll admit LAIR was bad at release but the control patch made the game actually fun to play. Heavenly Sword was bad??? it was quite fun. Home isnt even a game. HOME is a social networking program like many of the virtual online networking sites we have on the web now. It is very good at what it is meant to do. IF you dont believe me please look up the networking program "There".
Since you seem to want to speak about Ken Kutaragi I do have something to say about him. Ken was a BRILLIANT engineer. One of the greatest engineering visionaries of our time. If anyone wants to deny this go ahead but there are millions of hardware engineers that would disagree.
The PS3 was a vision that was to early to be released but whats scary is that the PS2 was supposed to be what the PS3 is. Thats right, Ken had the vision of the PS3 before he made the PS2. He knew what he wanted to design and what he wanted to evolve his product into. He sucked at PR but PR was not what his specialty was. His specialty is in the engineering lab creating new technology.
