Time to get all Rising Sun up in this bitch.US media is trying hard to remove from the market the Japanese stuff.
This Nintendo is doomed because Apple is awesome and Sony is doomed, MS is doing great is becoming boring. I wonder if they really believe it or if they just look at US market and try to influence it more.
-Sell the film studio
-Shut down the music bit, because FUCK ME record labels are dumb (actually with One Direction hitting it huge this would be idiotic at the moment but like shut most of your labels ffs)
-Stop releasing portable hardware that isn't laptops, morons, no-one likes your mp3 players
-Focus on TVs, gaming and laptops, because that shit works
The last time I check SIREN is available as disc game, so are Patapon, LocoRoco, and various RPGs like Atelier Meruru, Disgaea, Neptunia, Yakuza 3/4, etc.
Here in Australia, there's a limited amount of PC titles you can get. Aside from AAA titles, there aren't many stores that sell PC games. I suppose I can go through Steam but I can't afford to download games because most ISP here limit our bandwidth to 50GB per month. Especially not when the game is as big as 5GB. And I didn't know you can get JRPGs on PC.
this is why if you arseholes were in charge Sony would be even MORE fucked. Jesus christ.
WHERE WE LOSING MOST MONEY? TVs
GREAT - lets shut everything else down and focus on TVs then!
fuck meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sideways.
For what it's worth, the 360 had a number of JRPGs this gen, most of them (in my opinion) better than Neptunia or the Artelier. I do think that overall, there are far less weird unique titles for PS3 this gen than compared to the PS3.

I think Sony shat in Cheechs shoes....
The JRPGs would just migrate elsewhere. Unless you really believe that no Sony would be the death of the genre.

Honest question: what's left for Sony's next console except attempting a hail mary? Does anyone think they'll be able to regain dominance by providing a "safe" next-generation system? And if they don't go the straight power multiplication route, where is that lateral shift going to happen?And people are hoping for a PS4 system that is powerful that Sony will sell at a loss at launch.
Not to derail but to all those saying if sony goes belly up I'll quit gaming. It seems like your love for sony is greater than your love for gaming and that's cool but let's call a spade a spade and stop hiding behind "sony is the only one who offers *insert niche title* " I mean seriously you're gonna quit gaming cause ms or nintendo doesn't have an equivalent to flower or whatever title you use choose to use as an excuse?
Maybe DOOOOOOMED Sony is like DOOOOOOMED Nintendo, they flourish .

Sony's is honestly in pretty deep shit right now.

They can't and never will regain dominance. MS entered the console gaming business and pretty much took a huge share of the pie. MS will only expand that upon the release of Xbox 3.

As far as proprietary storage successes, I'm curious as to what you think these are. Betamax, DAT, Minidisc, ATRAC, Memory Stick, UMD were all bona fide shitbombs. Some of these found limited success in the pro markets, but again, it was a gross misjudgment of the marketplace. Initially, Sony wanted these formats in every home.
The PS2 used proprietary memory, true, but it was $20 and was all the storage you needed for years. The smallest unit of storage on a Vita is essentially useless.
Yes, Sony using off the shelf components in Vita was a good thing, assuming the dev tools (hilariously late) are up to snuff. However, they got the big thing wrong first, and that's a marketplace for their new device. The rest of it is rendered essentially moot as a result.
That was exactly the point. They are under the SCE banner but don't collaborate. SCEA studios do, but they should be collaborating across borders. I think GG shared some tech with other studios but for example someone at Sony should have gotten one of the SCEE studios to work on GT since it seems PD are incapable of doing a competent job.
The TV line needs to become beautiful and minimalistic
Everyone out there is going thin and bezel-less, Sony on the other hand has TV's that look the same from the year 2005, bulky, huge rectangles, I think they added an extra inch of bezel lol on the newer models
You have Samsung looking into Kinect-like camera sensors into it's TV
If Sony was looking into the future, they wouldn't be in this much of shit
Sony could already have had the Move be a good trojan horse for them, you can have such great synergy
Put your PSEye into the TV, MOVE isn't necessary, if you already own it, great, you can enhance your viewing pleasure
Too many different TV versions with miniscule differences
I mean XBR, HX, EX, BX... What the flying fuck do they mean?, then with-in those 4, you have the same sizes multiple times and considered different SKU, so HX has 3 different 55" models... WHY?
You half-ass OLED, by showing a 11" model, which still sells close to $2,500, while your competitors are ready to pull the trigger on Super OLED and bring 55"+ to the market
There should be only 2 Tiers of TV, with and without models
The with has all goodies under the sun, sizes: 40", 46", 55", 65"
The without is just basic model sizes: 35-37", 40", 46", 50"
Try to standout with new design, everybody and their mother has done the rectangle square black bezel with a wides ass stand
(Fuck try white?, blue, go back to silver/chrome, go wild and let people choose)
Sony's laptop division is gonna get fucking wrecked this year/next year with Ultra Books, I mean Vizio is joining the goddamn party to take market-share
You can live off Vaio and the Z line for the next 6-9 months, but when those Ultra get into the sub $800 range, and whoever drops the first budget ultrabook is gonna make money hand over fist (I wouldn't be surprised this Black Friday one company just goes for the Jugular, and tries to corner an area)
just an interesting bit of news; Sony is now the biggest music publisher:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/19/...tter. Sony has too many chefs in the kitchen.
Where else would they go? Atleast currently, no one in Japan buys 360's (or atleast very few), Nintendo ususally does not gain these types of games very often?

Sony music is the reason they fell flat on their face with MP3 players and gave Apple the market on a silver platter. Sony has too many chefs in the kitchen.
Inaccurate
Launching a year before certainly helped them. People got 360s because their friends had 360s.Not by their own accord.

I personally really like sony products and I truly feel that my Sony Nex 5n and PS3 are quality/ top of the line devices. However, I have no idea what their TVs or phones are like.
If you live in Melbourne check out Metro PC and Dungeon Crawl around the CBD. They're focused on PC games and they're usually $30 cheaper than what EB Games offers. Also those internet issues will be solved once the NBN rolls out, but for now TPG offers an affordable unlimited service. I haven't been on a cap for a few years now, and have saved hundreds bypassing our ridiculous regional prices with digital downloads.
