The article's title is totally back-to-front - Sony have been arrogant since barging their way into this market.
Only through a combination of shocking occurrences and the shuffling of high-ranking staff, have they become more pragmatic. I've always considered Shuhei Yoshida to be a nice chap (despite being a shameless moneyhatter in '93) who loved what he was doing, and he quite often had good things to say about the competition. He's a good leader for a division that provides entertainment. Even Kaz has mellowed. However, it's too late to neutralise a history of arsehole PR.
Thanks for the memories though. Jack, Phil, you were just a Law Degree away from a career in politics.

Superficially, yes, but there's actually more to it than that. The crux of this topic is PR, and how it influences consumers in more ways that simply being satisified with their purchase. Shit, just look at console wars. LOOK AT THEM. Free marketing, right there.

BULLSHIT. There are people at each of those companies that take pride in their products and want the customers to be satisfied. I really hope you aren't true_fan from N4G, because we don't have a bubble system here and then everyone will be forced to see your posts. |
I don't know what this "bubble thing" is because I've been warned not to go to N4G, but I assume you want something to ignore users?
