I wish Jaffe would've grown some balls and answered the questions

1. I'm not Kutaragi or Stringer but to me it seemed that they were only trying to bring playstation fans the bleeding edge tech with many an entertainmen options that they had become accustomed to as playstation fans.  I think it happened to cost a little more than anyone was expecting but over time as it becomes a little less expensive i'm sure more people will be jumping on board.

2. i don't think that giving playstation fans what they expected was a crippling move.  Being an electronics manufacturer is a tough proposition as any company can tell you right now.  Even Nintendo is lowering it's profit forecasts right now. As the recession worsens people are veiwing electronics as more and more as luxuries.  The PS3 is not singlehandly causing any crisis in Sony. HDTV adoption and many other things such as the global economy play a large role and I think many forget about the non Playstation tasks that Sony participates in.

3. No low morale around here. People are still getting make great games for great hardware.  We've been practically left untouched as far as restructuring goes so we are still being thankful for our blessings

4.Blu Ray is actually being adopted quite well.  People said a lot of things about DVD in it's upstart days and look at where it is today.  Blu Ray is fighting many of the same battles and I believe it is succeeding slowly but surely.  I'm sure once we have higher HD penetration we'll see even more interest

5.PSN has always been an evolving service.  The same with our XMB.  That was one of the benefits of upgradable firmware that we've seen with the PSP.  Nothing wrong for leaving space to offer even greater entertainment options and improve upon the groundwork we've already laid.  The Wii's firmware updates and the New Xbox Experience tell us we were correct in this assumption.

6. Business Markets can be fickle.  It can be difficult to discern consumers needs, but I believe that is the best interest of that market that was always in the minds of our leaders

7. My biggest concern is that people veiw the PS3 as a failure when it's absolutely captivating what we've done so far.  We've sold the same amount faster than our nearest competitor regardless of price differences, Have shipped millions of first and third party software to much acclaim, and made long roads torwards bringing our community of gamers closer together with PSN.

MSNBC. Biased? You don't say.

Still, I can't read this:

"(and not focusing on upcoming things that could swing the console's fortunes ((ala KILLZONE 2, GOW 3, UNCHARTED 2, MLB 09, potential price drop,etc)) )"

Without thinking of this:

People are complaining about it having a negative tone?

Shouldn't articles about negative situations have a negative tone?

What if your child was stupid.  I mean there is no argueing that Sony dropped the ball.

Asking someone that would be like asking someone

"Do you think the world is in bad financial times right now."

Kaz my point is, most people arent going to just start saying bad things about their child(in this case a video game console)

Well if David Jaffe is anywhere near as attached to the PS3 as his child then yes... he's a little sensitive.

Also... what if your child is stupid.

It may be impolite to phrase it as such... however it is not biased... as that is simply the case.

If you child is stupid... and I want to know why.... how does knowing that your child is really good at drawing help me in any way?

all these questions are fine and not biased in anyway. i agree with the questions he asked and jaffe is a idiot.

What if your child threw rocks at the neighbours glass house? Do you tell your neighbour when he confronts you about it that your child is good because last year he broke every window in his school?

Bias in the media? No way... who didn't know about this. I suppose anyone in this thread who don't think this is bias have anything bad to say about "anti Wii month" that has occurred a few times either, then?
Some people are biased and most of them show it in some way, get with it.
Imo, the questions were kind of like; "Why has Sony failed so hard and done nothing right and aren't you nervous working for such an uninsightful and unproffessional company?".
A little rude if you try to be honest with yourself, there was not a single positive shred in any of those questions, the author clearly only wanted the backside of the medal for presentation, if you argue that point; read them again, what's positive about any of those points/questions?

I mean; come on, there should be a PS3 bingo board.
