The Associated Press, Tokyo - Yuri Kageyama, Dec 11 2007:
Planned networking services for the PlayStation 3 video game console are a key part of Sony's new drive for innovation, Chief Executive Howard Stringer said Tuesday.
Stringer also said TVs using new panels called OLED and the Rolly music player with robotics technology were also products that showed Sony is back after its the company's restructuring effort.
Such products "bring back some of the wow factor" that is a Sony trademark, he said.
Stringer said the massive three-year cost-cutting drive he began to turn around Sony had gone well, and the company's immediate financial problems had been solved.
"The next cycle is actual innovation," he said.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Glad they're taking the PSN seriously, if they hadn't slept on it the last gen who knows where it'd be right now. Still pretty good for only being out for a year though. With the things I've seen some of their team members do with those Eye tech demos, and games like Patapon they'll have continued success with me. They just need to get on with the advertising to get back to the masses, I still haven't seen a UT commercial and even though I've seen the Uncharted commercial online I've yet to see it air on TV (all I watch on normal TV is adult swim and SVU anyhow).
Sir Howard Stringer gives up his day job to be a full-time comedian.
Sony is like the phrophet race from halo, they imitate they dont innovate, Sony has never innovated a succesful product any time they've tried its failed they've only ever succeeded at imitating a product all ready there, or latching onto like a parasite another company that was making an innovative product....CDs,DVD, Bluray all in creation then sony latched on and slapped their name on it.
but thats really the japanese set and not just a singular company, nearly all tech is created in another country then the japanese take it and make it cheaper.
Sony know their sh!t, thats why they're still at the top in terms of hardware and probably always will be.
Innovation is the key to your product surviving and giving customers longevity for their investment, something that i personally look for when buying new hardware.
@Krazy Ken Kutaragi - Whatever your problem is with Sony - get over it man. Your on every post that mentions Sony with droaning moaning comments...
Now I can start off my ignore list :) welcome and goodbye.
