PS. Anyone interested in an all new The Darkness trailer? The one where you get to be beasties and kill things as a weird supernatural superhero? Well I've posted it for approval...but noone wants to watch it seems...

you have to exude confidence.captains show confidence so that their crew follow their leadership.believe in their orders.but haters will always look at it as arrogance.

ken k. may be arrogant.it's not to say the whole company is arrogant.but you got to give the man credit.he created a machine that beat nintendo.that beat sega(well sega beat themselves).but even with a cheaper system from the big N and a more powwerful system from the mighty gates,they still won.you would have to come off of creating systems that was mass market "twice" and not nitch hardcore and believing you got what it take to lead the game industry.and they do.

creating a cd based system.
creating a cd/dvd based system
creating the eyetoy
creating singstar
creating hot games from their own devs
creating a successful(still hard for anybody to beat nintendo at portables)portable system
creating a next gen system that has the potential to be great also.

i would be dancing in the streets too somewhat if i were them.they deserve it because no one gives them credit for accomplishing what was thought impossible.which was to beat nintendo and sega.even if you like microsoft and nintendo,you got to give it up to them for expanding the industry.

Sony 'is' confident, not 'are'

I WANNA SEE A DARKNESS TRAILER!!!

I've been looking forward to it for awhile! I think it looks great!

I honestly don't think arrogance has anything to do with it. The "We'll win on brand-recognition alone" thing was just a marketing technique. I think Sony started out with bad marketing this generation. I think they fired that guy though...cuz it looks like smooth sailing from here on out for them. Home could possibly win them this war. I WIN

Confident or moronic?. Untill Sony delivers their attatude is moronic. Yah! yah! yah! these guy's think Sony's proud of their products do not respond to my post fool!.

You Idiot i think Sony's Arrogant! from past things they said about MS's 360 and need to come with the goods before they talk trash don't make me post the list of Arrogant statments from Sony, Just STF up man. The artical's seems to be missunderstanding Sony i do not agree with you or anybody else in this story, it's funny how you try and insult me, you've said read the post to others when they have an opinion about it. Just shut up.

Its sony's confidence in their products which have made them win 2 console wars, not their arrogance

they've won 2 console wars, and they haven't lost yet, because this console war is not over. MS is trying to win this console war, but it's going to be hard for MS, but it dosen't mean they can't do it, of couser, they can win this war, but they know that SONY is not an easy oponent, and they know that alot of people from all over the world love them.

C'mon they're Sony, they'ved conquered the electronic + gaming industry 4 quite awhile now - and just rightfully deserve the credit. Give them a break.

I don't mean to sound critical but why do you change the "headline" from the source?....it seems that you are making a statement rather than giving the information and letting the reader judge. I'm sure your headline is something that would have no doubt been part of the debate in the COMMENTS SECTION of this thread but the source news article headline is:

"An Evening With Sony Computer Entertainment"

-I thought this title was much more appropriate since thats exactly what it was about, the writer discussed alot of things, but your headline seems to indicate that this was mostly about the writer saying Sony is NOT arrogant. The writer himself says that he did not get that feeling while talking to them in person but then goes on to say: "To be sure, any time you put a personality to a face and media quotations you'll be more inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt." Then finally under your headline you quoted statements which support the headline itself but you didn't include the very next sentence after that last line of your quote, which states this:

"This is not to say the company on the whole is not arrogant;...."

I understand that you may have "edited" the headline because you want people to be MORE inclined to read your post, but at the same time IMO, I think it would be better if CONTRIBUTORS only edit the headline so that it makes since when posted on N4G -as described when you take the test to contribute to this site....otherwise we will end up with everyones "vision" of what the headline should be, and well we know how that would turn out -LOL....honestly if you look at 95% of the headlines on all the news posted they are in fact the same as the source news article which I think is much more professional.

Now as for my personal opinion on whether or not Sony as a whole is arrogant. -uhmm, You probably already could have guessed by now that I disagree. I would have to say as I have said before based on everything I have seen from alot of Sony Company Exec's, I can say without a doubt (in MY mind) that Sony is the most arrogant company at least as far as the videogame industry goes....for me the proofs in the pudding, yes all companies have to be confident and a little c0cky at times too....hell if they are not then why the hell should you "take a chance" on their product?, but at the same time I find alot of Sony exec's statements (and actions) over the last few yrs to be very arrogant in MY view, mainly because they cross the line of being c0cky to their competitors and actually its seems they forget that consumers don't like hearing misleading info, I could give examples of this and I'm sure anyone could give examples from their competitors, but I think in Sony's case the list would be much more dramatic....its almost like they take the consumer(gamers) for granted. -Thats my personal opinion.

Yeah deepbrown dude

How come you are changing and twisting titles of articles?
And why don't mods check those?

BTW Sony IS arrogant. They have showed it the past year with the PS3 and they have showed it before. And they are learning their lesson now, beaten up world wide by Wii and the 360.

the weak and ignorant always see the strong and confident as arrogant.

nature of the world.

Well yes deepbrown we do already know about Home, etc. but most of the news on this site are NOT new "surprises" we never heard of, its usually just more info/insight about that particular game or feature.....he gave further info on Indie games, how revenue for the service "might" work, how Sony didn't think Home should be compared to "Second Life" or other services, how Sony "believes" Blu-ray hasn't been hacked, and other "bits" of information that YES may not be "OMG Big news" but I did read some "specific" news that I hadn't seen before so at any rate it may not be as widely known as you suggest......saying that the arrogance issue is the only interesting part of the article only makes my point for me, which is that you are "including" your opinion into the news itself.....surely that "opinion" will no doubt be discussed/debated in the COMMENT SECTION, otherwise it CAN be mis-interpreted that you are indeed trying to "twist" the news to support your own opinion. -I don't think that was your intention but IMO we should try to stick as closely as possible to the original headline, because the comments section is more than enough to debate the merits of the content if the content itself is worthy of it.....and most of the time even when some post IMO are not "worthy" of "fervent" debate its still quite possible it will happen anyway.

[Edit]^^^^^ Husso, I would NOT describe Nintendo or M$ as weak and ignorant -LOL, and I'm not saying I agree with the Mart but he did suggest that Sony is getting "beaten up" by the Wii and 360 because of Sony's arrogance. -That certainly doesn't sound like a position of weakness or ignorance on either companies part. -Personally I hope the Mart is wrong, "I hope" that the Wii and the 360 sales are no more than a "reflection" of public interest in what both products have to offer, and of course in time Sony should be just as strong which will be a "reflection" of more and more consumers "gaining interest" in what they have to offer.

[Edit] deepbrown I just wanted to reply to the comments you added to your #14.1 post. Yes I guess we will have to agree to disagree....its funny because your comments spark my interest so I decided to check the most recent posts to see if in fact the headlines are being routinely changed and again I what I saw for at least the 10 most recent posts was that ALL those "headlines" were "exactly" as they appear from the source news article so again -and in FACT out of the 12 most recent posts starting with the most recent post as of right now about Heavenly Sword gameplay and going all the way back to the "Nintendo Bashes Playstation Home" post -they all appear EXACTLY they did on the ORIGINAL NEWS SOURCE, -ironically within those last 12 posts the only 2 that had been changed were the to posts you contributed.....I read almost all of the posts on this site and again I think the overwhelming majority of those posts are NOT edited....especially totally different from the original news source, don't take my word for it you can check for yourself. I just think its better NOT to make "editorials" within the headlines like you did with your last two posts one of which you titled: "Sony Take Things to the Next Level".....sounds like your opinion of the news because the source article said this "You Are The Colony"....so let the reader decide if the content does indeed merit that Sony is taking it to the next level.....or would you rather see every other news post edited with the "contributors" opinion? -Again whats wrong with just posting your comments and suggesting that you think this news shows that Sony is taking it to the next level? Oh, well like you said, you disagree....so I will accept that and move on. I just hope it doesn't become a problem on either side.

im a sony fan i think its a little bit of both, but sony is starting to deliver.

I remember when the XBOX 360 came out with no games and heating issues and a price tag of $550 Canadian.
Flash forward to present day and what’s being said lol same stuff minus the heating issue.
I've owned the PS1 and the PS2 both systems when they came out were $500 Canadian lol so what makes me laugh is here we are today and people are saying that the price is too high? So $550 Canadian 20GB HD or $650 Canadian for the 60GB I don't find that way too expensive as you all seem to think.
The only reason the XBOX 360 is the price it is, is only because the PS3 is now out we all know for a fact that if the PS3 was still not in the market the XBOX 360 would still have a price tag of $550 Canadian.
As it goes for the game issue same thing is happening to the PS3 and the Wii as had happened to the XBOX 360, so not an issue as some people think.
What I’m trying to say is this; don't count them out just yet.
On a lighter note I am and will always be a fan of them all I own a XBOX 360 and just got a Wii haven't got the PS3 just yet but will be buying for me not my kids lol

sony is convinced that they are the best at what they do and that equals great motivation to all who work for sony ( i wish i was told by my management that we are the best of the best, but all i hear is whining every day) they are bold statements but WHEN sony takes the next gen lead (june 2008???) and has 16 million systems world wide by the end of 2007 somebody is eatin some crow, and i hope its not me( i am very confidant in SONY, and will laugh my A$$ off and never believe a B$ analyst ever again if they crush the competition)

The release of the new gundam in Japan was proof that people will pay money for PS3 and last time i checked, Motorstorm, VF 5, F1 had just been released more reasons to buy PS3. Sony can mess Japan about all it wants in the end they will never buy the Xbox 360 and the wii is sure to be outdated in the near future, if not already; so then the question arises, we want next gen, so it can only be PS3 for Japan and i think one way or another japan is a done deal.

I know what arrogance is I'm an American.

The PS3 is selling in the UK for £425 which is around $800 or something like that so anyone whos not in the UK should not moan about the price tag, we are getting ripped off by $200 more than America and many other countries.

Sony needs 2 bring out their big guns, an stop playing virtual myspace an bring out thier heavyhitters and mmo games!

to who it may concern at sony.

I would like to start off by saying you suck donkey b*lls. You guys over at sony are a bunch of a** holes. I remember at e3 2005 when xobx announced that the 360 would center around online play and Ken (lick my a*s) K. said sony does not see online play as nessesary. Oh and i remember when nintendo announced there wii mote and sony said that it would never fly and it was a gimmick.
So sony tell me something when on earth are you guys going to make a product that is going to be affordable for the masses. And when preytell are you guys going to be innovating.

your buddy,
binx
p.s. blue ray sucks c*ck
