since sony never really was down in the home console market..

yoshida never really put anything anywhere


Obviously, you were living under a rock between 2006-2008 lol Besides, last gen was the first gen Sony didn't win. So actually, Sony IS "back" on top.

Yeah they copied Nintendo by putting a likable guy in charge of gaming.  It couldn't possibly be because he was good at his job.


Its just the feeling I get. I might be wrong.

You are.



As far as putting Sony on top, that was really a 3 man effort from Shu, Kaz, and Cerny.



Good for him and Cerny. They seem like good people and they did their home work this gen.

He just seems fabricated. Everyone at Sony always go "Shu is one crazy guy and we love him" Like they are building him up to be the guy they pull out when they get bad press and everyone goes "Awwwww Shu is so sweet. Sony could never do anything bad with that guy around"

its part of PR. just like how phil spencer is painted as the "good guy" that "Cares about gamers and gaming" suddenly after the DRM shit happened and people started hating on vagina face... i mean don matrick. 

Not fabricated, more like they made use of his growing profile, what got the ball rollling was his twitter account , he used it to chat about gaming and soon found himself answering broader questions and has more followers appeared  he in his own words " became a defacto spokesman" .something that he didn't set out to do but his position made him in hindsight an ideal spokesman, rather him than some pr guy who doesn't know or understand the fuller picture.

The article is one that we see many times , some one  writing about a subject with little to no research ,if they had done their job properly they would understand that during the main faze of the PS4's development cycle Shu was doing what he's still doing heading  swws , not overseeing the PS4 as well , since  Cerny headed the PS4 project.

All I take from this is because he has a media profile and is seen a lot on stage promoting PS4 and oversees studios like Naughty dog ,some  people like this reporter look at that and jump to the conclusion that he is the mastermind behind the Ps4's success.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Oh dear.



They hate us cuz they ain't us.

But seriously, Cerny deserves more credit. Like, he was pivotal to the PS4s success



I thought this article was going to be about Phil Spencer...
