Sony whines: Nintendo shouldn’t make fun of our glasses

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Looks like Nintendo finally hit Sony where it hurts: in the reality of future profit via the 3D trend. After years of making fun of Nintendo's choice of console names, constantly making fun of motion controls, indirectly poking fun at Nintendo's characters and directly insulting Nintendo's fanbase, Sony is hurt ...

Destructoid on Kaz Hirai’s 3DS Sh*t talking

Monday, June 21st, 2010

So, Nintendo murdered everyone at E3, not just with its rather terrifying selection of awesome games, but with its stunning 3DS demonstration. If you haven't seen the thing in action, let me confirm that it's pretty amazing stuff. Sony boss Kaz Hirai hasn't seen the 3DS, but that didn't stop ...

Now that PSPgo Has Failed, Sony says PSP has ‘ten year life cycle’

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Ladies and gentlemen - I present to you, "Why I love me some Destructoid". The "ten year life cycle" excuse has been trotted out by Sony so many times that it's taken on the properties of a self parody. Whenever the PS3 wasn't doing so well, Sony would claim "TEN YEARS" ...

Lack of PSP2 Brings Former SCEE Boss to Confess

Monday, June 21st, 2010

This is the first bit of common sense I have ever seen from a former Sony exec. And an amusing bit of sense too: "Sony tried to make the transition with PSPgo, I think that changed some consumers attitudes, but they need to come back with something on PSP pretty quickly ...

Sony @ E3 #2: Briefing Blow-by-blow

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

If you had to predict what Sony was going to show at E3 2010 3, 6 or even 10 months out - you'd be right. All of their "secrets" got out, all of their products were known before they got there. If you had to predict HOW Sony would present ...

Sony @ E3 #1: Failing to Impress

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Here's a change of pace: an independent E3 2010 attendee reviews Sony's press conference and offerings: The Sony media briefing was not that interesting. There weren’t many surprises and it dragged on. As a friend mentioned, the Nintendo conference flew by in an instant, but Sony’s got boring and ...

Red Dead Redemption 360 vs. PS3

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

I have probably skipped over a half-dozen or so of similar reports for other games.... it just gets old fast and it's not really news anymore! This is non-scientific, but after playing an hour of both games, and switching back and forth between the two systems on our display, it's clear ...

Engadget Reviews the PSP Go

Monday, September 28th, 2009

The device itself is a marked improvement, but of course that's not the whole story. In many ways antithetical to the hype surrounding the PlayStation 3 Slim, the debut of the Go has been marred by some pretty downtrodden decisions on Sony's part, most notably the $250 price tag, an ...
