Where Sony Went Wrong

It seems everyone lately is poking fun at Sony. Everything from their Vita launch problems and price, to the woes of the current state of the PS3. A lot has happened in the past few years. The manufacturing giant continues to struggle among its competitors in multiple forms of entertainment, not just the Playstation brand of products. Then there’s the news of a corporate shakeup which sees Howard Stringer stepping down, allowing for the Kazuo Hirai as the new CEO and president of Sony Corporation. Pertaining to the Playstation brand and the PS3, we take a look at some of the decisions and events that have contributed to the current state of Sony.

Please everyone reading this: Click on the "gear" right in the picture and Report this no name website.

We don't need anymore of these kind of articles, it was already boring y 2007.

Yes yes we know, Sony is doomed like forever, can we move on now please?

Lol, if you don't like the article, don't read it?

I mean, if you really feel this way, I suggest you leave N4G all together because I guarantee half the shit published on this site is like this, or worse in some cases.

Just because it isn't a one of the "major" sites does not necessarily make it a no name. Granted their are a lot of BS sites out there, but to attack the site because you don't agree with something goes beyond the scope. That is just my humble opinion.

I cannot see one mistake sony did. I bought the ps3 for $600.00 brand new (loved it) i loved the launch titles (heavenly sword) i love the exclusives, the web browser was awesome at the time (and still pretty cool) the online is great, i honestly think half of the sony hate is made up from people looking for hits from articles, because everyone i know loves there ps3. (REAL WORLD)

form a marketing and advertising pov I used to see the ps brand in everything sony pictures/tv produced. Seemed only logical as it would be free advertising of one sony brand within another.

Now MS studied what worked for sony and followed suit. I have been seeing more and more 360 related product placement in everything else which stands to reason that sony only has so many studios and the others are fair game. It could very well be appeal as the article states.

nintendo came on in such a rather unforseen way with gaining support from everyone 9-90 that the hardcore appeal of the ps brand was really for the.....hardcore. The vita is not for the casual or the parent buying a system for their kids like what nintendo offers.

The question of tablet/mobile gaming on the rise via ios or wp7 or android will usually get laughed at by the core gamer but it still represent a portion of gaming and it will only get bigger.

sony has some good ideas and has had many before that either were ahead of their time or they gave to much credit to the consumer and didnt do enough to promote. In any case sony will figure things out.

This and all the other great cartoons. Mask, Defenders of the Earth, Thundercats and Battle of the Planets.

I’m old. Grew up on Star Wars and later He Man toys, which were my favorite. I will definitely buy this for the sake of nostalgia.
