Sony hits trouble with PS3

by Richard McKinnon at 01:06PM (PST) on November 20, 2006 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Sony have been pointing to PlayStation 3 as the answer to their problems. Powerful, innovative and expensive it was meant to almost single handed drag the floundering giant out of its problems. Problems. Movies not that crash hot. DRM issues. Old technology. Batteries flaming out. You name it the company is fighting fires.

So. This morning's New York Times piece summing the feelings of many in the gamer community.....that PS3 is better than PS2, but not beyond criticism, must hurt. Especially since the machine costs five or six hundred dollars. Somewhere in Sony the execution is going wrong. They just aren't listening to the market anymore.

Seems like there is a point where a company stops putting the customer first and building great products. Sony is past that point. Maybe it's too big and bloated, or maybe the employees and management care more about their jobs and paychecks than the products they create. But yeah, the PS3 seems like an average product when they needed a home run. I still have a PS2 that I get mileage out of; I think I'll be sticking with that.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
