Ugh, an article about 1 sentence he made in relation the question. In the actual source interview, gamesindustry.biz indicated that he was smiling when he made that comment. Obviously this entails sarcasm or some other reference rather than saying that they are 'literally' weak in that respect. (basically, he could be making fun of Sony or indicating that Microsoft doesn't have a problem marketing other features besides gaming) my 2 cents anyway.

implying that Sony is able to focus on other media entertainment apart from gaming unlike them which are more focused on gaming. This is their stance right from the beginning.

What he seems to forget is Sony is delivering more on gaming as well compare to them.

Let me make that clear... I dont like how Sony has moved with the Ps3 this generation. I feel that all of the technical advances that they put in to the system are completely hanpered by lack of vision. I think all they wanted to do was the same thing they did last gen, meaning a new disc format and a bunch of games. They have been forced in to providing online services and movie market places and Home. All that stuff is thanks to Microsoft.

People dont get it but the reason the 360 sells so well and moves tons of hardware and even has people come back to it after the sytem rrod's is it feels like a complete experience. That is something that is in tangible but everything just fits and flows from voice chat to trophies games on demand video marketplace, netflix, even avatars and games that use them. Sony does alot of the same stuff but it feels blocky and unrealized like HOME. Its a grand idea but i'd rather be playing a game of 1 vs 100 than running around home.

Even with all that said when it comes to making a perfect entertainment hub Sony has all the assets in place. They have a movie studio and a long history of great games and hardware, they need to become more risk takers really try to advance something (like change the controller it been the same for over 10 years) stop trying to live off of the fanbase by appeasing them and not changing things appease them by making new and improved things.

Microsoft has struck deep into the market and there image has improved in the gaming industry significantly they have made some major moves with some stubles along the way but for the most part totally successful.

Gotta be fake, MS studio's are the fastest developers in the world, along side EA.
This is due the strict process management that MS and EA handle.
Just look at how Gears 2 got out 2 years after gears 1, and Forza3 2 years after forza 3, and how both games managed to make quite a leap from their predecessors.
And next year, Fable 3 will arrive as well.

Sony= Music, Film studios, Cameras, Tv's, Computers, Cd players, car steroes, cell phones, Gaming, and prolly alot more

MS= Operating system, IE, gaming, and prolly a little more.

and i do realize that MS does have its hand in film and music but what im getting at is sony has Sony pictures Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment.

So yea id say Sony is alot more Agile.

Sony has always been more flexible. Crazier ideas, more innovative, take greater risks!

Thats why i personally prefer to have a PS3 since i have to have a choice, because it gives me more "flexibility" in terms of my experience =)

One question comes to my mind. Is MS going to release a slimmer 360? If you think about it, that could be a scapegoat to make a more rock solid system(less problems). It would draw me in to be honest.

Now when Sony integrated the DVD in the PS2 that wasn't their format. They put it in the early stages of its adoption where it caught on to the mainstream of production in games using the DVD format. Was that not using new and improved things?

Same thing applied this generation with the PS3. They integrated the Blu Ray format for game reproduction using a format created by Sony themselves in which they felt that a larger capacity disc and HD format was right for gaming, and they were correct. You see bigger games now coming out with a lot of capacity. granted not all of the but lets say another year or so most games will be bigger and more attractive to the consumer because of depth. DVD is still in use of course but look at its limitations. Multiple discs for games such as RPG's, ODST two discs. Things will change and fast. Is Blue Ray not using new and improved format? I think so. In fact it was a huge risk. Its now paying off.

Also why does the controller have to change? People love it! Some things must change but not everything. That controller has felt great since the PS1 with a few modifications. They added blutooth to it to play wirelessly. Also they added a battery inside the controller which you charge as opposed to buying batteries every so often.

So I think i've proven a few things which you've said that doesn't add up. Think about it for a minute.

Honestly, FU*K Microsoft! They have ruined the gaming idustry with their shoddy hardware, delaying improvement for multiplatforms, stunting growth of games because of DVD, pay for online, stealing games that would have been much better had they stayed ps3 exclusive, has brought only 2 new franchises this generation, has sold much less than ps3 in the same time frame despite being half the price and not even getting anywhere near the amount of FUD Sony has received. And my ultimate worst, promoting DLC that should have already been on the disc however couldn't fit so they find a way to milk us even more. FU*K you! and all your stupid fans who actually follow you! Mark my words microsoft will not pass their 3rd console generation and drop out of the race, bookmark and come see me in 5 years.
