Sony's Sour Grapes

Howard Stringer

Sony has a bad case of sour grapes, coveting Nintendo's success in taking gaming mainstream, whilst discounting the company in attempting to steal that title. Sony has no class whatsoever. It is amazing the lows they stoop to, resentful of other's accomplishments, they often pilfer.

In other Sony news, they are being accused of ripping off Twitter, for a new venture they've recently unveiled.

Sony is not contributing anything to the marketplace, just stealing from merchants all over the world, illegally claiming other people's protected intellectual property as their own.

Sony: We broke the mainstream barrier, not Nintendo

08.25.2009, Jim Sterling - Many people would claim that it was the Wii that truly cracked the mainstream audience and brought gaming to a whole new demographic. However, those are people who inhabit reality, and not the bizarre fantasy realm that Sony executives live in while they lick hallucinogenic toads and quaff vast amounts of LSD. According to Kaz Hirai it's the PS2, not the Wii, that brought gaming to the general public.

"The most successful console is still the PS2 and it's still going strong," claims Hirai, comparing a console released nine years ago to a console released three years ago. "I think that's the console that really broke the barrier from videogames being just for videogamers into more of a mass market on a global basis. Nintendo's obviously done a great job in following that mass acceptance."

Yes, because it's the PlayStation 2 that is known to all soccer moms, gets played in retirement homes, and has enjoyed mainstream press coverage since it was released.

Seriously, Sony truly is stocked to the gills with some of the most deluded, logic-leaping nutcases the industry has ever seen. What is it about being in third place that instantly renders a company out-of-touch and completely insane? Oh well, at least it must be fun living in a world where all the clouds have smiles and marshmallow elephants tuck you into beds made out of money and sugardrops.
