Let's go Jimbo! :)

Ppl can say what they want about the man (and rightfully so), but PS appears to be in better shape than it has ever been.

Excited for the showcase.

If this is true then the show must be great. Otherwise it wouldn't really make noise.

A lot of interesting tidbits from Sony's corporate strategy meeting.

It looks like Sony Corp is planning to spin off their financial services unit in the next two to three years while retaining about a 20% stake. They also acknowledge that their entertainment divisions are "subscale" compared to their competitors, and are planning to increase their investments in this area. Sony emphasizes content IP as a priority, and highlights video games, music and anime, as growth opportunities.

yeah I don't get why the dude gets so much hate. Like, I get that nobody actively LIKES dudes in suits (At least not in this context) but like, he's just a guy trying to do his job and doing it well without any drama. Playstation is doing great, and while I don't believe he personally gives a shit about gamers or what we want, I DO Believe he likes money and has found that 'making good games' is paramount to a healthy, stable, long-term success. 

So, like, dude's doing his job. Doing it well. And not being a complete scumbag while doing it. He wants money, we want good games, it's a win-win.

I'm not really sure Millie is a great source.
But I fully expect this showcase will be huge.

- First hour+ long showcase in the past 3 years.

- Several first party titles promised.

- Blaming him for things that probably aren't entirely in his wheelhouse. The closure of Japan Studio, PixelOpus, etc. Most of those things are probably more up to Hermen though.

- A lot of people didn't appreciate his internal response to the overturn of Roe vs Wade, where he said to respect that co-workers might have different opinions. And for some reason was talking about dogs in his abortion message.

First one have been repeated every few months, but seems like people still like to ask the same stuff.

And congrats to GoT, great game, my favorite of the gen.
