Sony shock  

It really was an eye opener, or should i say a shocker, to see Sony announce HOWARD stringer as its next CEO. As many magazimes covered the leadership revamp, there were many facts that proved that sony is actually a fragile and vulnerable company.
The play station and playstation 2 are both super succesful, but it gives many people the big and false impression that sony is "mighty" ( as fanboys call it). I am amazed, however that the Ps2 worldwide sales did not prevent sonys electronics division from losing almost $300 million in 2004 and Kutaragi was in charge of that division!

Kutaragi is also responsible for the commercial failure of the hard drive / dvd recorder/ broadband internet hybrid, psx. And he failed to convince sony to make the big adjustments to combat apples ipod in the digital music player market. Now steve jobs is running miles ahead of sony with lots of cash!

Did i want kutaragi, the playstations father to become sonys next president? Hell NO! it was only the wish of sony fanboys and playstation customers that kutaragi be president. But sony is also a music,movies and media company, and people from the non gaming sectors dont really want kutaragi at the top.
Stringer has a huge problem ahead of him. Althoughh sony now owns BMG and MGM (james bond is now their manufacturing sectors have zero coordination with their entertainment counterparts. Sony in japan is full of engineers and i am sure they want to get rid of stringer soon as he comes in. Striner believes in the content and has stated that hardware will not work without it.
Sony has lost its technolngical edge even as it succedd in games and it continues to fail in convincing people to buy their hardware to use their content.
The PS3s architecture, when unveiled, will feauture a new but stubborn programming environment. The hardware is so new, manufacturing costs will be very high. Last but not least, the ps3 will have a downgraded version of the blu ray drive and its cost will be very expensive plus BLU RAY EQUALS SKY high manufracturing costs per unit. . .
While sony will have production problems. Game developers will have a very hard time making games on the PS3. Only sony controlled game developers will be able to handle PS3 complexity while the rest may end up going to MS for their XBox 2 and to nintendo for revolution.

Hope i give you information to all gamer. . .
Happy posting and Good day!
