Why Sony is Ready to Self Destruct
jammmma writes "Before even launching the PS3, Sony is ready to self destruct." From the article: "PS3 is doomed, thanks to Sony's ignorant attitude. None of us had the chance to seriously evaluate PS3 and the experience it has to offer. It's impossible without a series of titles and an official product at hand, but from where we stand, Sony's damaging attitude is all it takes to diminish the value of PS3. Kutaragi may be right in defending PS3; after all, he can't criticize his own product, but instead of exciting users with valuable features and winning them over so they can start saving, Kutaragi makes bearish statements in response to Nintendo's announcement and Microsoft's take on Sony. Last I heard companies were at E3 to impress media personnel, which yielded positive publicity, not make childish remarks when chances were against them."
Let's not forget that the Walkman, the very product that "put Sony on the map", was in fact stolen. It took over 20 years to settle the case. meanwhile Sony profited enormously.
Sony has always been crooked. THey also stole the rumble feature for their game controllers and got slapped to the tune of $90M.
The rootkit is just another symptom of the widespread sickness at Sony Corp.
