Of course, when defending Sony, you have to bring up their stupidity also. How bout hyping a console at E3 with incredible specs, then releasing a giant $600 brick. Or maybe taking out BC, then ditching 80% of the Playstation Classics. Or having bad cybersecurity. Or maybe just Playstation Home as a whole. Or completely butchering the launch of both the Move and the Vita. Both have their fair shares of fails. Microsoft's just seem a bit more bearable.I agree about errors committed and it goes to show that none of these companies are incapable of fault.[QUOTE="noob622"]
[QUOTE="Benny_Blakk"]Wait a minute..........
Did you just say Microsoft is NOT stupid????
Someone has forgotten about RROD (their blatant disregard for a poor product was evident very early) and the belief that HD DVD was the way to go?
How about not even providing HDMI till years later? AND the nice little nifty AA battery powered controllers.
Yeah....
You're right. Far from "stupid" indeed.

I disagree with the BC thing because you can still have your PS2. In addition, not as many people as you think are psyched about having a PS3 to play PS2 games.
$600 brick is a huge misconception. The sku released in the beginning was groundbreaking! MS took YEARS to match what was featured from day one by SONY (built in wifi, HDMI support, web browser). And they still didn't have blu ray.
The breach in cyrbersecurity (whether if people lost a lot of money or not) was definitely the low point.
Well put, sir. But for me, Backward compatibility is a major selling point. When Sony announced the PS4 would not have it, I ditched my plans of buying a PS4. I know you can just play them on your older console, but for me, I rather pop them into the newer console. I didn't keep my original Xbox around just to play a couple games I missed. I sold it, got a 360, and to this day am popping in Halo 2, GTA:SA, and Beyond Good and Evil. If I can sell my $400 360, get a new console, and still be able to play Halo 3 and Bioshock, then I'm picking that console. If some reason the PS4 does get software-reliant BC, then I'll definitely buy it.
Through your hard work and dedication, you have given us a system of the ages and console of the generation. A value that only you could imagine has unfolded before our very eyes and blossomed into something very beautiful.So, you see, we took small steps to success all along that hike. Together, they added up to hundreds of thousands of small steps. But we might have chosen not to take the first step. We might have stopped at any point along the way. That would have meant that we would not have gotten to our destination. There were also obstacles along the way. But with each small step they were overcome. There were frustrations, fears and uncertainties. But with each small step they were crushed. There was hardship and danger, but with each small step and focus on the desired destination it was conquered.So you see, success is no mystery. Because, as the Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu said: A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. It takes only one small step to succeed and you have done it Ken. Bravo. 
It goes without saying that a thanks is in order for Kazuo Hirai 
You have taken Ken's vision and molded into something beutfitul. All the world's your stage. And all the men and women merely players: A non-doer is very often a critic-that is, someone who sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically about how the doers are doing. It's easy to be a critic, but not you Kaz, no being a doer requires effort, risk, and change and you have done a nobel job. Bravo! 
And last but certainly not least I'd like to thank 
Jack Tretton, your loyalty, perseverance and dedication has helped Sony reach it's goals and making Sony the #1 console of choice.That is real freedom. That is being educated, and understanding how to think. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.You have dared to go where others have been scared to go Jack, Thank you and God bless Sony USA. 
Thank you Sony for not dropping core and going 67% casual like MS to chase the Wii's pot of gold. 
AWWWW YEEAHHH
