Kaz definitely turning things around

Have we moved to a point where the Sony fanatics have mutated into blatant trolls. I am afraid so they behave more like cornered animals than hardware loyalists at this point. Not all of them mind you, but some are crossing the lines of good taste. Tossing out insults, flame baits, and even vulgarities. I have always felt if you wouldn't dare say something to someone in real life. Why would you do it online. Your own sense of shame should keep you in check if nothing else. I think the mods need to start clamping down before it gets out of hand before F bombs begin to get hurled at eleven year old posters.

What I find interesting is after every single one of these events we get the same old tired reply. Sony is turning the ship around. They have not been right yet, and they are probably not right now. When you ask why these conferences were so good you get nary a reply. They avoid the question like its a black cloud of death. They just say it was fantastic and Sony won. This time around it seems to be vague promises that only highlight the problems the machine has.

I find it interesting also that Sony has not developed a strong energetic direction. During the Microsoft E3 showing they focused with an almost singular devotion on their games lineup. So much so they drilled the notion into gamers that Microsoft not Sony or Nintendo would have the best games for the rest of the year. This goes unquestioned by everyone. Nintendo screams we are doing well and look at our gimmicks that you will get to play with. They were not all that impressive, but guess what we all know the names. Sony didn't really create a positive buzz they seemed desperate in effect. Finally most people here probably cannot remember even half of what Sony said. We were too caught up in the price reduction banter, and misrepresentations.

There is a fundamental difference between plowing forward and trying to keep the ship from sinking. They made a couple decent announcements, and then highlight their own problems with a net gain of zero. Everyone knows their problems what they need to do is highlight all the bright points. They are spinning in circles rather then spinning our attention. There were better strategies.

 I think you miss the key point, Sony has started listening to their fan base. Hence their blog site where developers and executives speech directly to the fans. The fans asked for Sony to show games, well they did, at E3 they showed tons of games, GC tons of games, and now TGS they have begun showing tons of massive beautiful titles. So spinning in circles they are not, they are listening directly to their fan base now adding requested features to the PS3, announcing new games, etc etc. 

 

@rocketpig - actually the final controller will be using Immersion's touch-sense technology.
