kaz was quiet for a while, it was inevitable that he'd open his mouth again and say something like this.

Ah, always good to see the fanboyness strong in SW.

Yes, Kaz is most certainly coming off indifferent and holier-than-thou. But you people are stretching the reality to make some horrible points.

He isn't saying they are number one in sales, people. So all of you posts about how Sony is last in sales are pointless, at best. That is stated right up front in the start of the quote posted by the TC.

When it comes down to it, Sony, not MS, used new technologies on its now-gen console. Sony, not nintendo or MS, is going for the best all-around entertainment package. Wanna talk smack about movies? Tell me why 360 has downloable movies and a media server feature.

No other company is offering what the PS3 is out of the box. Again, question the need all you want. When it comes down to it 90% of the gaming, interested buyers out there would love 90% of what the PS3 offers. And it is only getting better.

And that's the REAL point Kaz was making. Do you really think the 360, with its PC setup, is really going to produce much more in the way of graphics, gameplay, and audio? The PS3 as reletively new architechture along with six-axis, blu-ray, Home, and the possibility of 3D. Today they announced a new photo feature for the PS3. Just another forward-thinking, free addition Sony has made to the young PS3.Tell me there isn't more promise there. :roll:

you are speculating what his 'REAL point' is just like the rest of us

his main point is that Sony is the leader of the industry.... yet, they dont lead in any aspect of the industry.

Sales? Nintendo

Games? MS

In other words: "We are the number one because we don't count our competitors (who are actually beating us)"

I bet they are also number one in the handheld market... if they don't count the DS.

Or in the portable media player market,... if they don't count Apple.

Or in the TV market... if they don't count Philips, Sharp, Samsung or Panasonic.

Gotta love Sony.

you supported the first line of your post with the rest of your post, only the biggest fanboy is going to defend what kaz has said, he basically says despite all evidence to the contrary we are industry leaders, its just false and everyone knows it, your ludicrously slanted point about 90% of gaming interested buyers want a ps3? based on what exactly? preventing your buyers remorse? consumers decide what they want and cast votes with their wallets and guess where those votes are going.(hint its not the ps3)

Sales? Nintendo

Games? MS

Way to offer your own narrow and skewed interpretation of what they mean in rebuttal.

They are the industry leader because they have sold more consoles than Nintendo and MS combined. The combined sales to date of PS1, PS2 and PS3 is greater than the combined sales of NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, Xbox and 360 combined. THAT makes them the industry leader.

Or you want to look at sales? Okay, how about the fact that Sony has the PS2 and PS3 on the market while the competition only has one console. Oh wait, we can't look at that because the Sony haters only want to look at one small, narrow definition to feed their own irrational hatred.

Sony knows they are not the current gen market leader. They know they are not the current gen sales or profit leader. But they didn't say that. They said INDUSTRY leader. Now you can debate the merits of such a vague statement, and how much spin it entails and that would be legitimate. Instead all I see is a bunch of ignorant people desperate to find fault in every single word that Sony says but unwilling to think for more than two seconds to find legitimate criticism.

lets generalize like sony, and its cows for a moment from a lemmings perspective. MS is the industry leader because 90% of the worlds OS use windows, and thus game on an MS platform. still wanna use that arguement?

so Ford is the automotive industry leader? i mean, they sold more cars than anybody else since they have been in business like sony, right? oh wait, thats wrong. they are dead last... quite a skewed way to look at things :roll:

your speculation is obviously flawed since you are using faulty logic

also, if you want to talk about sales, how about nintendo? DS and Wii is outselling the whole sony family (wii alone outselling ps2+ps3)

btw, its seriously not hard to find fault in Sony statements... c'mon... they are infamous for saying stupid things

im still waiting for my ps3 to do 120fps dual 1080, with real time weapon change and 4d graphics... :lol:

[QUOTE="stike22"]Lol I agree. however because PS3 is the most high tech consoles means they won't have to make another console for another 10yrs. if they are smart they will use this time to enforce the psp or find a way to make games for the PS3 quicker. Wii is winning now but they will eventually have to make another console. X360s just die of red light so no worries there even though they have the most games.

10 year console.LOL.

"This is not meant in terms of numbers, or who's got the biggest install base, or who's selling most in any particular week or month, but I'd like to think that we continue official leadership in this industry. It's difficult to talk about Nintendo, because we don't look at their console as being a competitor. They're a different world, and we operate in our world - that's the kind of way I look at things. And with the Xbox - again, I can't come up with one word to fit. You need a word that describes something that lacks longevity." - Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kaz Hirai

What is the word that fits for the Xbox?

Winning previous generations does not make a company the leader of the current generation...That's just more PR spin that you're latching on to in order to support your argument.

Well they get interviewed. Media training is the result of pr spining speaches. Do people really expect the CEO to say that they are last just like that? No they will mention that they are last, but will spin it so that it looks like it's a positive thing.

Of course they have to say they are number one and doing fine. People aren't interested in a doubtful company, people invest in a company that says they're confident and while things may look shaky, it's not as shaky as it might seem. It promotes customers to go "Hey, maybe Sony isn't doing so bad after all, if they're confident in what they can do, we should also be". While it doesn't provide a realistic scenario, it's the thing that goes into the minds of many consumers who aren't as aware as others.

so Ford is the automotive industry leader? i mean, they sold more cars than anybody else since they have been in business like sony, right? oh wait, thats wrong. they are dead last... quite a skewed way to look at things :roll:

your speculation is obviously flawed since you are using faulty logic

also, if you want to talk about sales, how about nintendo? DS and Wii is outselling the whole sony family (wii alone outselling ps2+ps3)

btw, its seriously not hard to find fault in Sony statements... c'mon... they are infamous for saying stupid things

im still waiting for my ps3 to do 120fps dual 1080, with real time weapon change and 4d graphics... :lol:

ogvampire

DO you have the data to back up that ford sales claim? I doubt it, but I would be interested to see them.

I would further add that even if you are right, Ford has been losing for a number of "gens" and not for the past two years. FORD lost their good name a LONG time ago. Meanwhile, Sony is losing only so far this gen. A gen that by all indications is only just begining to warm up. While it is unlikely Sony will end up #1, it is still to early to judge the long-term success of the PS3.

I would also argue that handhelds are a completely different market. Nintendo is certainly the industry leader when it comes to handhelds. And even if the DSi somehow gets beaten by the PSP for a year or so...I would still say Nintendo is the industry leader when it comes to making handhelds.

Wii alone outselling the PS2 and PS3? Uhmmm. Wii has sold like 30 or 40 million console world wide so far I believe...PS3 has sold roughly 20 and the PS2 is at 140 or 150 million. So maybe you should get your facts straight.

FInally, I know Sony says lots of stupid things. ALL of the companies do. And I also agree it isn't hard to find fault with Sony's statement. It is stupid of them to believe that their PAST position allows them to rest on their laurels and do nothing. But it is equally stupid for people to jump on the "industry leader" comment and yet intentionally ignore the "PS family" (IN know, I hate that term too) which I would say includes PS3 and PS2 as they both remain on the market and on store shelves.

120fps was stupid...dual 1080 was never put into the final build of the console, so if you are still waiting you should keep yourself better informed...and 4d refers to time affecting gameplay which has been done for a while.

Well put lol. Sony are not the 'current' market leaders no matter how the cows or their execs try and spin it! DAZZER7

Where did SOny or anyone else say that they were the "current market leaders". Please point out where you got that information from, because otherwise you look like you shot your mouth off without knowing what you are talking about.

[QUOTE="ZIMdoom"][QUOTE="ogvampire"]

you are speculating what his 'REAL point' is just like the rest of us

his main point is that Sony is the leader of the industry.... yet, they dont lead in any aspect of the industry.

Sales? Nintendo

Games? MS

ogvampire

Way to offer your own narrow and skewed interpretation of what they mean in rebuttal.

They are the industry leader because they have sold more consoles than Nintendo and MS combined. The combined sales to date of PS1, PS2 and PS3 is greater than the combined sales of NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, Xbox and 360 combined. THAT makes them the industry leader.

Or you want to look at sales? Okay, how about the fact that Sony has the PS2 and PS3 on the market while the competition only has one console. Oh wait, we can't look at that because the Sony haters only want to look at one small, narrow definition to feed their own irrational hatred.

Sony knows they are not the current gen market leader. They know they are not the current gen sales or profit leader. But they didn't say that. They said INDUSTRY leader. Now you can debate the merits of such a vague statement, and how much spin it entails and that would be legitimate. Instead all I see is a bunch of ignorant people desperate to find fault in every single word that Sony says but unwilling to think for more than two seconds to find legitimate criticism.

Wrong, the PS2 alone has sold over 140 million. Even combined, the DS and Wii has not outsold it.

Where did SOny or anyone else say that they were the "current market leaders". Please point out where you got that information from, because otherwise you look like you shot your mouth off without knowing what you are talking about.

No but he said "Current Offical Leadership in the Industry". Still ridiculous. Still typical arrogant messaging from these guys that turned a lot off starting with "The next generation doesn't start until we say so.." crap.

And if you bothered to read a single one of my posts you would see that I have argued they are the industry leader because (a) the PS brand has total sales dwarfing every console made by MS and Nin combined, and (b) because the PS2 is still selling and being supported by devs and therefore Sony may be counting that along with PS3 sales.

It is a very rational arguement that is simple to understand. "Industry" Leader is not the same as "current gen" winner. To act like it is, I think, is ignorant.

'outselling' not 'outsold'

With all due respect what does the PS1/PS2 have to do with today's next gen fight (which is why Sony is leaning on this type of messaging now btw)? This is the same exact play that Nintendo used after their successful NES/SNES run...going into N64. Except it wasn't enough. I feel it won't be enough for Sony either. You get soft at the top...especially when your agenda wasn't clearly to build the best next generation GAME console to start. In all fairness what else are you going to say when you are Sony right now?

What he says about the wii is true.

But his argument about the 360 makes no sense, because the PS3 isn't doing so well and the 360 isn't just a passing annoyance.

The Wii demographics are light years different from the PS3 demographics that Sony aims for and the 360 has a penchant for breaking down.

You guys really love to nitpick Hirai donch'ya?

Sony is cute.

MerisYaki
yeah, they make good products but damn they need to learn to keep quite at times... it was a nice try though
