Far be it from me to defend Sony's market strategy... but, seriously, is this a news post or an editorial? I had to look up and see if I was Xboxic or something for a moment. At least *try* and remain objective if you wish to appear like a news organization.
I agree with the above posters. Your coverage on this was arrogant and offensive. If you want to ask loaded questions and be a jerk, just talk to yourself in a mirror.
"So where are the rest of the games that look this good?"
"The portfolio strategy in Japan, it seems that PS3 will always have the advantage in terms of relationships there because Sony is just there and its a hits driven business. One title out of ten really sells consoles. Most people have characterized Sony's involvement there as magnitudes greater than yours. If you've got a portfolio of 100, you've got 10. If they've got 1000, you've got 500. So, just by virtue of luck, they're gonna have more hits and sell consoles in that territory. Would you agree??"
"To hammer this one more time: do you really think that the cell phone itself can compete against the likes of the DS and the PSP?"
This reminds me of Jostiq's podcast where they spent more time talking whole 'motion sensing' gamepad-thing like it was a new thing, and then barely even mentioned the global Live concept from MS's keynote. You guys need to drop your bias and do objective blogging...and pay attention, you're missing cool stuff.
