My God, Sony Can Do Nothing Right

Mind you, this isn't nearly as bad as the black woman being chocked by the white woman in a PSP ad, but still pretty dumb...

... Again, whatever keeps people talking about you, but has any of their gaffs actually generated meaningful sales?

Oh, and the word is that the PSP Go is indeed pretty retarded, but that's hardly a shock.

that's kinda neat, actually.

besides, rommel was about as stand-up as a nazi commanding officer could be, refusing to engage in war crimes against jewish civilians and participating in the june plot to kill hitler. not nearly as out of bounds as the blog makes it to be (because they're ignorant game people, natch .

Those are actually pretty awesome photographs, although they touched them up just a bit too much.

can't check the pics at work, but in terms of Sony, all i can say is that the PSP Go failed the moment it turned out not to be a phone.

Oh well...

Back to the PSPgo dogpile, their slew of Mini games are nothing more than the most generic of offerings on the iPhone. Basically, all Gameloft crap. Yay!

Then there's this...

... It's still got a long ways to go, plus the story itself is a bit on the fishy side, but amusing nonetheless.

i'm not against the PSP Go in theory.  i think it's kind of an appealing handheld, in a weird way.  but the price tag is ridiculous and the fact that NONE of your old games can transfer to the new system really has put me off.

maybe if that had been something available immediately, i might have considered upgrading.  but as it is, i have no need for 2 PSPs.  especially not one that can't play my games.

So I guess it's officially a bomb?

Though I still don't know how it did in Japan or the US, which is what really matters.

In other news, Nintendo might be unveiling another DS next year, perhaps to keep up with Apple. It's really silly how now both Nintendo and Sony are so concerned with the iPhone/iPod Touch since they are so vastly different on every single fundamental level.
