To be successful they ARE all about the bottom line (meaning money) - it's not really a bad thing, its just how it works. They employ THOUSANDS of people, so at the end of the day the decision they make are about what can be profitable and therefore keep the company afloat... everything else is secondary.
They only reason they want bold and brilliant products is because that means they are more likely to sell said products. Theses decisions are made by committee, and even at the highest level there is a board of directors. Meaning not just one person. Sony, just like other corporations, is trying to make money by offering products that they think people want. |
Corporations are made up of people. Nothing more, nothing less.
The fact is that anybody working at MS or Sony would feel personally insulted if you called their respective company a greedy, corporate pig.
You should go check out what it's like to work at Google or even Apple. Since ALL companies are like this in your opinion, then that extends to these as well. It seems like an awesome thing to be part of Google for instance.
There is nothing to gain by coming into threads and using the "their evil" card. Nothing at all. Best you not do it at all and let the people here make justifiable criticisms based on the company's actions instead of blind negativity like you are. It's not constructive and it isn't in sync with the reality.
Some of the products available to consumers these days are truly incredible - especially considering how little we pay. Go and see how much tech stuff cost in the 80s, 90s etc. to realize how fortunate we are. No need to call the manufacturers of these products greedy pigs.
