The man in your avatar is also partly responsible for the downfall. But Stringer talked big, especially after taking over Sony Corp a couple years ago, and it seems like he hasn't accomplished much. |
Ken Kutaragi-san is not to blame for any of the problems Sony faced. He is a true visionary. I true genious. He called for the delay of the system from early 2006 to November 2006 because Sony needed to figure out their manufacturing issues with the PS3. He refused to launch the system.
The exes higher up than him made the call that the PS3 was going to launch whether Kutaragi-san wanted it to or not in November. That's why he publicly came out and said that Sony was not in any position to successfully launch the PS3 this year. He doubted the ability of Sony in regards to fixing the manufacturing problems plaguing Sony's Blu-Ray development.
There are very few people who blame Ken Kutaragi-san. For the ones who do, don't remember 2006 very well. Howard Stringer has screwed the company over and he is to blame for the self destruction we've witnessed. Kutaragi-san was forced out by Stringer, because Kutaragi-san was also competing for the same position Stringer got in 2005. Kutaragi-san was tasked with turning around the failing electronics division (mainly turning around Bravia) while Stringer was tasked with expanding the media connections.
