i thought Spong done a good job of Giving sony the sharp end of the stick & highlighting the fact that...things are looking pretty dark..


It's amazing how different people read the same thing. I see Hirai-san saying some good stuff about his predecessor; standing by the price point; and maybe being a little off-beam with the fine detail of GT (but up on his Polyphony game - pun intended). I see him using supporting history to maintain that Sony has always had a fight on its hands - even from Day One vs Nintendo and SEGA - it's been able to achieve sales. I don't see that we've highlighted "things are looking pretty dark".

For example, there's insight in there about Kutaragi and Kazunori that no other interviewer's managed to extract yet.

What we're trying to achieve - and it's a battle and a half (can you have half a battle?) - is to ask questions that make the interviewee and readers think a little more than, "Tell us why the competition is thick and lame" or "Tell us why Game X is great / s**t " or "Why are you rubbish and Y is so brilliant?"

I guess all this goes back to the famous quote: "There's no such thing as a dirty book - it's just the way you read it" - (The Sensational) Alex Harvey (bless him).

I know, the fanboys on each side of the ball need to retire to neutral corners, and some more mixed sports metaphors and suchlike. They're agreeing on something, and thats never a good sign.

Much Ado About (almost) Nothing.

tyr, nice answers by the way, at this point I might make some comment about the job waiting for you at Sony PR...but that joke is old and tired and only funny when I use it. :P

I would of asked him three questions:

1)How do feel about Microsoft's current market share and future plans about console dominance?
2)What kind of underwear do you have on right now?
3)Will you be upset if they get soiled if Microsoft destroys them like they did Sega?

Microsoft destroyed SEGA's underpants? That is some damned underhanded business dealing!

Good evening. It really doesn't matter if the person who hurt you deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. You have things to do and you want to move on.
