I agree with a lot of what you said. Basically this thread is a summary of the blunders from Sony this gen (less $599 price point). Ie: no advertising, delays, etc

Sony doesnt have to cooperate with their studios. Sony OWNS the studios and can make changes within those studios any time they want. Therefore the studios have to cooperate with what Sony wants.

and dont forget Sony pulled deverlopers from Polyphony to get PSP-GT out before GT5. So Sony is at fault for GT5 being delayed so much. 

$599 price point.

Lack of games at beginning of gen. 

Move motion controller and Move games (Sorcery shouldve been a Move launch title, its useless at this point for Move).

Marketing/Advertising.

Not making deals with 3rd parties. Losing all 3rd party exclusives. Letting MS get timed-exclusives on the 2 biggest 3rd party games (COD and GTA)

Not including Headset with console 

Lack of controller change (it actually degressed at first when they took rumble out of it)

PSN getting hacked

PSN as a whole not being as good as it could

PlayStation HOME being a complete waste of development time and money

We could go on forever about Sonys management blunders. I was only naming their Worldwide studio mishaps in the OP. 

No he didn't, but a once big name like MotorStorm has to sell more than 290,000. 

The highest selling game Sony has on the PS3 is GT5 at 7.6 million, the game itself wasn't the game most people expected given the devlopment time, and  the PS2 games did MUCH better. The only way it could have done that bad is poor marketing, and brand decay. Who do we blame for that? 

Another thing: Move games. The highest selling Move game that Sony has is Sports Champions at 3.27 million. It was heavily bundled. Most of the smaller lower-budget games like Medival Moves flat out flopped. If Sony wants to push the move, they at least need to push some of the smaller, original games. EyePet sold .96 million, and is the best selling Move game that wasn't bundled. That isn't good. 

How could we forget the Playstation Xperia Phone... MEGA FAILURE.

PSP Go!... another MEGA FAILURE.

3D taking up disc space in games.... MEGA FAILURE.

Taking backwards compatibility out of PS3.



etc etc etc.... The Failures continue. Don't get me wrong. I love the playstation brand and have owned every Playstation console. I love Naughty Dog, and God of War is one of my favorite franchises. I can't wait for The Last of Us.

But.... I'm not a blind fanboy. I realize that Sony has screwed up royally and its all their managements fault. (Kaz Hirai, Jack Tretton, Ken Kutaragi, etc)

Blu-Ray anyone?

PS2Classics and HD remakes disagree with you there

LMFAO!! You are such a BLIND fanboy.

PS2classic and HD Remakes cost money to buy........ Backwards compatability doesnt. 

Huge difference buddy. Why should I have to re-buy games that I already own on PS2.

To me if Sony can be Japan only like Nintendo , it would be the best thing they'd ever do.
Screw their US and UK studious their best games are made by Japan studios , heck they made some of the best games EVER made, while Sony of america getting overpaid to make generic shit.

This. And exaggerated heavily I must say...
