Industry must innovate and evolve to thrive, says Sony

Sounds like they're trying to justify this epic stall in the console cycle. PS3 and Vita are properly connected devices? Won't that selling point fly out the window when they connect PS4 to Vita? No, because there won't be any PS4 until they've milked the Vita-PS3 racket. If they want to "evolve" or "innovate" before PC takes over the stagnant console market, they'll need to do more than make empty statements like these.

Following this speech, Sony gave another speech on how they need to synergize a new tacit, hollistic approach to business and will be performing a brainstorm of all the movers and shakers.

He then finished the speech with another couple of emptyless phrases that mean absolutely nothing.

@zo70 For your Wonka reference, you get kudos. But otherwise you're an idiot.

Just wait until APPLE releases a home console. Then things will get interesting with Sony

Really, stop linking my first comment with other halo/xbox trolls. Sure, I own a xbox and have Halo 3, but it haven't even mentioned that in my comment. Plus, Microsoft's exclusives like Gears of War and Halo aren't that innovative either.What I meant is: Sony isn't innovating the right way. All the people who replied to my comment either own a PS3 and enjoying free PSN games oblivious to what I said, or simply people who don't think. Sure, Sony have lots of exclusive titles, but saying those titles are innovative... really, you don't know what you're talking. Uncharted is Assassin's Creed with guns, Killzone is futuristic CoD (or Battlefield 2142, have it your way), God of War... it's cool, but repetitive kill 'em all game, Infamous is GTA with superpowers (Prototype?)... the only undeniably innovative title is Little Big Planet.

You know, that's the only thing I'll never criticize about Nintendo (that's because I'm a long date nintendist, but don't own one of his consoles for years): THEY know how to innovate. The exclusives may be dire, but are oh-so-damn fun and fresh. (Sadly, they still haven't released a dual-analog 3DS version...). And, news flash: I doubt 5% of the people seeing this post or my commentary wants some really innovative games, but I am one of those people. So before replying, review your game library first to see if 20%+ of your completed games are FPS.

Sony is showing flashes of the right idea with cross-play gaming and getting two versions for one low price, but that should be the norm and not an exceptional case. Frankly I'll know that we've finally reached a holy grail in open gaming when XBOX, PlayStation, Nintendo, and PC gamers can play together in an online game of some sort...that will be a hallmark day.

right now sony focus on getting out of the RED & staying relevant.

Is it me or are these generic statements from game company heads getting rather tiresome? I'm not even sure why Gamespot post trival crap like this anymore. It's the same old same old week after week. The sad thing is a statement like this isn't even exclusive to the gaming community. It could be substituted to infer to any number of industries. Here's looking forward to some news of interest.

lol and their not doing nothing to better the psvita , sad observation from sony as they cant seam to innovate them selfs , instead what they do is watch nintendo or microsofts move and try to mimick it , dont try to hide it look at move , that was a blatent attempt to copy nintendo and im not done yet the original playstation controller copied the snes controller and just added grips then 98 they copied n64s controller adding sticks and rumble lol

And by 'innovation' Sony really means "ways that will encourage consumers to buy the other products we make."

Now I will say that they are doing right by offering the concept of purchasing a game on PS3 and get it for the Vita for free. That is kind of innovating. Imagine if Nintendo did that!

@Bl4KD37H Ugh, no. Greed is part of business, Do you think they make these games because they like to make gamers happy or something?

They make games because they think it will make them money. A good game will sell (in theory) a lot of copies. Look at Minecraft. Great game, no advertising, and they made a metric ton of cash.

Vote with your wallet.

For the love of God. We get it Sony, the industry needs to innovate or die. You can cram it now. Ryan and Cage have both been harping on and on about this. Time to ramble about something else guys

I agree, Medievil was an epic game. all this talk about "innovation" just leads me to believe we're gunna be touch-screening and waving our hands about, picking up the ps4 and tilting it to turn a corner in a racing game, all of that is about as appealing as dying in a fire. instead of innovating, and changing how we play games, they should focus more on changing the games.

@zo70 huh, did you just suggested him to buy xbox cause ps3 is for casual gamers? what about that shiny black camera lurking from top of tv, something ms is shoveling our throats?

I would suggest to go for inexpensive pc, that can play games before 2008 and nice indie games off steam. trust me you don't want to play any latest pc games with all that always online and DRM nonsense.
