The pressure of keeping up with all the spin might finally be getting to Sony and their executives. Yesterday's spectacular lapse in judgment by Dave Karakker against Kotaku, which was condemned across the internet, came as Sony's Phil Harrison has been on an awkward press poking bender of his own.Simon Carless of Gamasutra was the first to experience the Harrison press attack, he was called out for quoting improperly. Carless puts up a strong defense and un-spins Harrison's allegations. Next on the chopping block was MTV News' Stephen Totilo, who also went on to defend his work. This all comes after last week's Game Head where Harrison made comments toward Geoff Keighley about negative things said in the press. Timing wise, the Harrison incidents all happened at the exact same time. The Carless and Totilo quotes both come from an N'Gai Croal piece, which was conducted at the D.I.C.E. Summit. The Keighley interview also occurred at the same convention. So, although these incidents are playing out over time, maybe Harrison was just having a bad time at the slots in Vegas. Well, we'll certainly get a better sense of Sony and their views on the press next week at the Game Developers Conference.
