You're right, they WERE like that at the beginning of this gen. (I remember krazy Ken very well.....*shudder*) However, they are NOT like that now. While they aren't even CLOSE to perfect, they are significantly better than M$ at listening to their customers. Hell, they even set up a blog where they let PS3 and PSP owners know about stuff that's coming up and when you suggest stuff there, THEY ACTUALLY LISTEN!! (look through the archives of http://blog.us.playstation.com and you'll see what I mean.)

You make some good points. What I am saying is if they were listening to gamers, following news - not their own sources, they would have realized before they released the PS3 it was gonna flop like John Kerry and would have lowered the price initially instead of descending into a panic and releasing so many skus that even retailers were confused.

Look at the PS1, PS2 and PS3 and how Sony reacts. They said that millions of folks would buy it without games just because of the brand. That's a horrible mentality. As a gamer, we deserve better. We deserve to have a console released that will have a good library - will be reasonable priced and offer something more than potential. If I wanted potential, I'd invest in saving bonds.

In the end, folks will buy a PS3 because it's a PS. It's a sad reality.
