Sony is in conflict with reality itself... It needs to regain credibility instead of constantly spin stories and numbers.

Imagine Sony marketing the PS4 with it's current image. Journalists would systematically put every claim in doubt, and fanboys would be either bash or lol.

SCE needs to contain damage now. The Playstation brand is at stake.

Actually Sony have been marketing the PS3 with rather thick bullshit pretty much forever. Heck, it was the same with the PS2, and probably even PS1.

So far the mainstream media has been too clueless to catch on, and the gaming media satisfied with how close the Playstations have come to what was promised. Will be interesting what happens if the PS3 continues to perform below expectations, though.
