Seriously, did you guys expect Kaz to come out and say "I agree with all the game journalists, ps3 is doomed" or "ps3 is in last place and it's future looks bleak"? Is that what you would've said if you were in his shoes? I guess that's why he is CEO and chances are that you could never get to that kind of position.

 

Something a little more intelligent and less 4th grade would be nice from the head of a company. Maybe even something a little humble, like "Our past direction may not have headed where we would have liked, but we have new visions for our direction, bringing the Playstation brand into a more favorable position"

Hell, they should hire me as their spokesperson.

From the look of things, humility = concession in this industry. I don't think you'd want to admit to future game console purchasers that you've conceeded especially when you're currently last. The rest of the idea sound vague, the question would then be "exactly what does this doomsday company plan to do?"

 

Fair point, but in this case, its more of an honor/honesty thing. The industry already knows Sony is struggling. They are already at a point of asking "What does Sony plan to do?" Right now the answer is, cover their ears and ignore the facts. The industry can get behind Sony if they show some actual leadership skills and offer new incentives for both developers and the consumers alike. The denial needs to stop if they want to be taken seriously again.
