May be a bit off-topic, but I'm definitely getting a distinct "contemporary Republican Party" vibe from Sony these days.
"Yeah, we may have lost the Presidency, and the opposition has a super-majority in the Senate, and we just screwed ourselves out of a House seat in NY-23, and we don't have a single non-crazy candidate to run in 2012, but the latest polling numbers show a slight drop in Obama's popularity! We're poised to dominate, baby!"
vs.
"Yeah, we may appear to be losing this generation's console war, and Nintendo has sold tens of millions more units than us, and Nintendo is outselling us by hundreds of thousands on a weekly basis, and we really don't have a viable strategy for the next generation aside from poorly aping the competition, but look! Nintendo's numbers are down 10% from last year and ours are slightly up! Boo-yah, SONY dominaton!"
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
