Sony is Like Saddam Hussein

'My WMD is both big and expensive
Truth is Nintendo and Microsoft have stuffed up a bit too, but why don’t we try to eat at their throats? Because Sony deserves it. Sony is arrogant, obnoxious self righteous, Sony is Saddam Hussein, completely oblivious to the world around him thinking he’s still the dictator of an oppressed people despite failing, continually failing and falling into obscure history.
What is different between Sony and the competition? The difference is that Sony is arrogant, uptight self righteous.
Clear as day, from the E3 presentation where between Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony only Sony started the conference with an extremely long monologue of how great they are (namely the Playstation 2) and how they will continue being so great. Both Nintendo and Microsoft started humbly and made their points clear, they were here for the games.
'With this Remote I shall Trigger the WMD!
Like it wasn’t bad enough for the Playstation 3 to cost $600 Ken Kutaragi had the nerves to say the Playstation 3 was ‘too cheap’, this on top of another statement made by another Sony executive saying that the $500 Xbox 360 and $250 Wii are ‘too expensive’.
Then comes the website ‘alliwantforxmasisapsp.com’ which ran deep into the heart of the gaming community who took offence that Sony considered them that dumb to fall for such a cheap marketing trick.
If all this isn’t enough Sony still has the nerves to take direct pot shots at their (supposedly non-existent) competitors, claiming the Nintendo Wii to be a novelty and the Xbox 360 being more of an Xbox 1.5.
Believe me I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface here, Sony has been overwhelmingly arrogant as of late and it has started backfiring.
People don’t forgive the Playstation 3’s shortcomings anymore, they forgive the loud Xbox 360 and the outdated graphics of the Wii but they don’t forgive the expensive Playstation 3, people forgave the Xbox 360 for its somewhat lacklustre launch line up but they aren’t forgiving the Playstation 3 for it.
Hang ten dude
There are a lot more examples, but these should be enough.
Not surprisingly after Sony remains amazingly ignorant to what’s going on around, from getting annoyed at being asked difficult to answer questions to not doing anything about failing interest in the Playstation 3 and assuming it will all fall into place simply because they are selling the Playstation 3.
Sony won’t ever come out of this stupid arrogance, like Saddam, they’ll be standing there with the rope around their necks and they won’t know how badly beaten they are until the floor beneath them drops. Only it will be too late by then.
