Forums - Sony - Sony is in danger of becoming arrogant? Gamezone explains...

Gnac said:

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.

Sarcasm?

I have absolutely no idea what you mean. I am always completely sincere.

The best part about the whole MCC is more value than TLOU is saying that it includes the MP for Halo 2 (actually is only one MP with maps from the 4 games so what mechanic will it use?) and that includes value, but don't mention that MS close the servers (maybe to create the ilusion of added value to the collection)...

Taking direct shots isn't arrogant though.... And thats when I stopped reading.


IMO it is because you could also just act like a grown up instead of a little kid.

Just show your stuff and stop bashing others. "look at me I am better" is pretty arrogant.


Cool, in your world every company is arrogant.

Not only is it a logical fallacy to call a company arrogant but it makes no fucking sense. Companies  don't have maturity levels, they aren't adults or children.

On top of that, it's a company's job to convince you why you need their products

@1. NOPE not at all
@2. A company has what? Representatives/spokesmen. What do they do? They represent the company./speak in the name of the company.
@3. yes but you can convince people without being a dumb child cant you? Say "look this is what I can do" not "look this is what I can do better than some specific other company". 

If someone wants to praise oneself one just compares oneself to other people if one 100% knows that whatever one achieved is irrelevant/unimportant on its own. And if one did something important and still compares oneself to others , one is simply arrogant and acts like a child "look at me I am better!"  Thats basic psychology.

To be fair, they saw their target market and gave them what they wanted. Business 101.

I don't think they will be arrogant in the future. They can't afford to. Their lifeline is the Playstation brand and besides, why would they forget their past mistakes? They had good reason to be arrogant when they had two successful consoles and the PS2 that dominated the industry. As for Nintendo, they are not a threat no matter how good the games are that Nintendo released. You have to be a Nintendo fan to want a Wii U. A Wii U just like the Wii is a good system as a secondary system. They might have great exclusives but they don't have all the major titles like Batman: Arkham Knight, Witcher 3, Destiny, The Division, and so on. There is no reason for them to worry about Nintendo because of third parties alone.

As for Microsoft, they have those same third parties but they rely too heavily on the same franchises. They are doing good by expanding out a bit more with Sunset Overdrive but they have will need to keep pushing new IPs and not more and more Halo, Gears, and Forza. That will just attract the same consumers that love the 360. It doesn't attract new gamers who love Nintendo and Sony games. One thing Sony has always been great at is making new IPs and that with correcting all their past mistakes, they are in a fine position to breeze through this generation with the lead.
