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.
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
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
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.
Seriously, another one of these articles?
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)
Jealous Fanboys.
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.
Oh boy oh boy these types of articles need to be removed off this website.
