I'm sorry, but I don't think this is happening as much as you'd like to believe. Have you considered that it's genuinely possible that the public attitude toward Sony and the PLAYSTATION 3 is simply negative right now? It is frustrating in a situation like this to see that the only questions that will be going to him are either incredibly shallow or are intended to be an attack on Sony, but I don't think there is some giant conspiracy being orchestrated. I don't doubt that Microsoft is using the aforementioned marketting methods, but I think it's on a far smaller scale than you portray it to be.
Sony's conference as a whole was fantastic: I was not excited by the PS3 at all before the conference, and afterward, I was already planning how to save up to buy one. I don't mean to minimize the importance of Home and Singstar, but what really stood out above everything else was LittleBigPlanet. I think there is one question that is lingering on a lot of people's minds: what degree of freedom does Media Molecule intend to offer the player in the creation process? More specifically, will what the user creates be derived from pre-existing content (such as cutting a block to make a ramp) or will there be means of introducing entirely user-created content into the game à la Second Life?
At the press conference, you introduced it by discussing the concept of Game 3.0. The philosophy seemed to be stemmed in the recent Web 2.0 phenomenon. How does Sony intend to expand Game 3.0 in the future to build on concepts of the community-derived experience and interactivity between games?
