Interesting. I didn't know they had a studio in my country.

No, you aren't. I cried... on the inside.

Almost did let it out, though. I was cold and tired, traveling all alone on a transpacific flight. The only solution for me was to release TEH FUNNYZ and watch "Land of the Lost". After that, I became too stupid to feel anything.

The "marketing dollars" bit took me by surprise too. I only found out about the game after it was released.

They'll need to confirm the absence of any foul play before it's officially confirmed to be a suicide.

I didn't mean a miraculously abrupt reversal in the state of affairs. That would be deluded. I was thinking of a more gradual progression, one where Sony didn't necessarily come out on top, but one where it steadily recovers its losses.

Hmmm... It appears that my comment was misconstrued as being "fanboyish". A second reading made me think that the optimism in my post could have contributed to that. Now, mine may be an unreasonably positive prediction for Sony, true, but I hope--for the sake of the gaming industry as a whole--that they learn something from their humbling experience. (The PSP Go was a step back, though, I admit.)

2010 might be the year that Sony makes a turnaround. The PS3's going to get some good releases this year. Sony might want to do some more aggressive marketing for their system in light of that.

What surprises me more is that I didn't see the Picard meme in the comments.

All I can say is this: 2010 will make all us gamers very, very poor.

"Lower mind" FTW!

My first reaction was that it looked like a game for the PSP. Reminded me a little of Jeanne d'Arc.
