Sony denies reports regarding major division shut downs

I went to Kotaku to see what you were talking about. Nonsense like that is why I quit going to that site.

Also, are Apple and Nintendo really the two competitors Sony is trying to catch up with? I don't think so.

There too damn biased!
They try to put a bad spin on everything PS3! Especially Luke.

They're*

That's just your upper lip.

I thought Sony sold more PlayStations this season than Microsoft sold XBoxes. If they didn't, that's very ugly as Sony has the PS2, PSP and PS3 available.

Soooo a parent is "stupid" for buying a 360 for their kid, or themselves????
Yeah, stupid parents trying to save money in a shaky economy. How dare they!

You are a blatant idiotic fanboy with the inability to use common sense.

ChuckJ, to answer your first question, yes, yes they are. And to call someone an idiotic fanboy doesn't mean much coming from a blatant idiotic troll.

Why would you buy a 360 if you're not stupid?

By the time you've even got the features of a PS3 (charging controllers, WIFI, Online, decent HDD) You've spent as much as a PS3 costs and you've got a less powerful, less versatile, less dependable machine. Not to mention you have to KEEP PAYING to play online.

I don't know about you but these days 99% of my gaming is online, saving by not drip feeding Microshaft money is not something I'd be happy to do.

Are Halo and Gears worth it? Really?

The Capitalist system should work by the best products succeeding because people buy them, not by one company making so much money on a product that they can use barely legal advertising...

".....on 360, console ony £129" - on the end of every multiplat game!!

....and making copies of their competitors innovative products (Singstar, Eyetoy, Buzz) and pumping cash into getting people like Burt Reynolds to advertise them (your cash by the way, your online registration fee - I mean they're not going to spend that on imporving your experience, or being innovative now are they)

Microshaft are not and have never been a company i wish to support, they are underhanded, financial terrorists of this industry.

In 4/5 years when their false advertising has pushed PS3 out of the developers minds (god forbid), and the only option for High def gaming is the 360 with hundreds of generic FPS's and nothing interesting or new, with millions of RROD's and an Apple style returns policy the gaming world will most certainly end up stuck in a boring rut.

Sony on the other hand can't afford to spend on advertising as they are selling at a loss to push technology forward on theri own steam. I think they deserve an award to be honest.

Then there's the life expectancy - How long will it be till the best games won't even fit on a 360DVD do we think Sony will just give Bill Gate's blu-ray drives?

So yeah, buying a 360 for your kids over Christmas is stupid like buying a VHS.

Nixing BC has been much more of a hit to sales than Sony wants to admit. They need to work on a firmware to add this back across the board ASAP.

That would be fantastic, but I don't see it happening while the PS2 is still in production. I think I read here that it was only taken out (software BC I meen) because SCEJ was wanting to push sales of the PS2 more.

i was a stickler for my 60 GB for backwards compatibilty but I *rarely* use it because well, ffs, ps2 games are SOO last gen.. they have to be severely unique (bushido blade, kengo) or related to something really epic (mgs1/2/3) other than that, im only playing ps3 titles. Although I really love seeing the splash screens come up for ps1 and ps2... so nostalgic

Do that many people really miss playing PS2 games though? Most of the big PS2 titles have sequels either already out or coming out soon on the PS3.

The only game I really miss playing is Timesplitters (although I have got a BC PS3, I don't play it cos I can't transfer the saved game over as its one of the few encrypted ones).

Damn Free Radical, and I was so waiting for TS4 which will never come now probably :(

@ mo there are still ps2 games i play on my ps3 like capcom vs snk 2, marvel vs capcom and urban reign 4 players is crazy! seriously i think its because ps2 had the ability to let more people play on the same console thats why i still play ps2 games on my ps3

indeed my friends, indeed...

but man, people love making sony out to be the clumsy, weak, dumb, inferior team destined to fail. Everyone hates who is on top, and with the PS2 sony dominated.

Mo,

What in the hell are you talking about? Who is out there attempting to make Sony any of the things you mentioned. If hearing about what is going on with Sony, makes you think of clumsy, dumb, weak, etc then perhaps that is YOUR inner feelings on this.
No one is going out of their way to say any of those things about Sony. This is just news coming out. So it cant be reported at all? Is that what you are really saying here?

ChuckJ,

Why are you on here? A click on your name was all it took for me to find out you are an xbox fanboy and don't have a PS3.
Maybe your inner feelings drive you to come to our website and justify your purchase eh?

If Kutaragi was CEO, would he have done better?

If the bluray wasnt in the Ps3 then it wouldnt really compete and you wouldnt have games like MGS4 that is about 50gigs in size, which is also one of the reasons why the game cannot ever be ported to the 360.
