Sony is greedy given the fact that they tried to force an unestablished format down it's user's throats, so it could later collect royalties if it became a standard. Now it's feeling the repercussions of being greedy, it's to bad many of it workers are paying for it's greedy corporations actions.

Ah yes, and Microsoft and Nintendo are not greedy corporations?:roll:

Microsoft yes, totally greedy, but it doesn't gamble on stupid decisions and layoff it's workers.

Nintendo? well, they are selling their system the cheapest of all.........

Also... Nintendo, a much smaller company than Sony, had many reasons to sue Lik-Sang, but it was Sony who outspent a small indie buisness (that contributed alot in gaming) in court just so they could save pennies on the dollar.

Your argument fails.

Go away.

[QUOTE="laughingman42"]Dude that sucks I dont know why people losing their jobs would make anyone happy. are you people so obsessed that you actually like the fact that people are losing their jobs just so your console of choice gets a few better games?outcasthero

Exactly. And as bad as it may be, it seems most people completely ignored the part at the bottom that said, "Sony is a big company, and they just may yet weather this." As unfortunate as it may seem right now, cutting corners (and jobs) is part of this weathering process that while unfortunate for those it is happening to, it has to be done for the long term strategy of the company.

I believe that they will firmly be able to weather this storm, but at a loss of the market in the gaming division. Sony will end up probably third, and maybe second this time around, but I do not think that the PS3 is going anywhere. They have WAY too much riding on it, and they are going to do whatever is necessary to try and counter as much of this situation as they can because there is still a HUGE market out there for the PS3.

Sony just needs to get those big name titles released and needs to figure out a way to have a PS3 price cut, and Sony will be right back in this thing. I would be riding David Jaffee's and Corey Barlog's a$$es to get on GOW 3 NOW. The PS3 needs another big game like that. Also get out games that casuals will want to pick up like GT5. Games like LBP will help out immensly as well I believe.

As a PS3 owner and supporter it really just sucks to see such a GREAT system getting such a hard time. Yes, it is expensive but Sony made one fine piece of equipment here, and the games are going to be there. Some people just lose all hope and patience right at the outset, but when all is said and done, I have to be a realist and say that ultimately....that 600.00 price tag is all that is holding the PS3 at bay. And the sooner they recognize this, and find a way to remedy it, the better off they will be in the end.

Sony is Greedy period. Don't try to spin it another way. A good corporation will not gamble on unestablished formats and later pay the expensives of it's mistakes by eliminating the Livelihood of it's workers. The people who should be laid off are  it's corporate executives that make six figures who gambled on trying to corner the next format war in thier favor.

Had Sony not been so overly confident, and arrogant in thinking people would lay down $600 because "they were the best and they know it" as stated by Ken Kutagari, these people would not be losing their jobs. There is nothing else to blame but Sony's own detachment from it's loyal userbase it tried to milk this time around by force-feeding a unestablished format (blu-ray) which drove up the cost.  Now hardworking people from all walks of life will be looking for new jobs or standing in the unemployment line.

GG Sony, Now let go of the KUNG-FU grip you have on your few remaining exclusives cause im sure the people you laid off probably wont' be able to afford a PS3 anymore to play them.

If this is such a normal business practice why isn't microsoft doing it? Why isn't Nintendo hounding gamestop managers to sell their product??

answer me now cows!
