That Sony one was bad, but at least some funny material came out of it. Nintendo 08 should be shown as a form of capital punishment

 

Except that the Sony one was not trying to be funny like that. Which makes it even better. Nintendo had a bad conference in 2008, but with it they still sold tons of games and wiis. And even then, all they did was not announce things. Sony totally imploded in 2006. Real time weapon change, historical giant enemy crabs, 599 Us dollars? The stupidity was legendary and why it is still talked about today.

 

2006 is why the ps3 is in third, it is still a part of why it is still selling so low, and is a part of why it will continue to fail. I mean, if my friend who hates microsoft with a passion sold his ps3 to buy a 360 you know something is wrong. That's ok, Sony can still get its head out of its ass and make something other than generic shooters and ONE platform game maybe they can win back some marketshare (because the fps crowd is on the 360, they need to steal away some other genere). A pricedrop could do it, but the company has gotten itself into such a shitty financial position that it can't really afford to do one. Its almost like a case study textbooks will have in the future of how to destroy the market for a brand.

 

Plainly put, Sony is in a shitty position, the ps3 is a collosal failure of what the company expected and will be for some time.
