I can agree with that to an extent, but Kowen was bringing up points others wouldn't dream of even being able of thinking that far. For instance, after reading the article carefully (which I know you have because I know you're a good user), it's true that they now have to pay rent and it makes you wonder how that will cost them in the long run. Kowen may come from the perspective that it's hurting them, then I brought up the point that it's a lesser evil because they get some short-term cash they can use.
I agree Kowen can be negative about these things but it's a far cry from saying he wasn't insightful or at least to a certain measure reasonably critical about it. Problem is, to those people I confronted, all they see is "He's critical" or "He's too positive about it", instead of looking at the points people actually raised which are interesting for some of us who visit vgchartz for business discussion in the gaming market.

There is a divide between what Kowen says and how people react to him. His words are harsh and hard to react to properly even if his responders have an understanding of the subject. People really just don't want reminders of Sony's bad position, especially when they take measures that might alter that. To many it just seems people are damning Sony for past errors and being overly critical of any decision they make. It's a touchy issue at least.

We have some people here who defend anything that Sony does, whatever is the result. The same people who defended Sony decisions on PS3 (Cell and Blu Ray) and now are defending Sony decisions on PS4 (Off the shelf components and PC-lite architecture), and are the same people who don't want anyone to remember them that Sony misbehaves have consequences. They are the same people who want more powerful hardware at cheaper prices, the ones out of touch, and anyone who remembers them this is a hater and harsh. Living in a bubble won't change the reality.
