I said it would happen, Apprentice u prolly shouldnt read this lol

Sony denies Home release date

Although Kotaku is claiming that Home would be released on October 11th, Sony has a few things to say against that. A Sony spokesperson told GI.biz that the list on Kotaku is "not an official release schedule. None of the dates on the list have been confirmed at this time."

"I don't know where Kotaku have taken them from or why they're claiming 'SCEE have clarified dates' as we haven't sent them anything, and neither have our Central office."
The popular gaming blog is famous for revealing Home to the masses, but has also misled readers with an inaccurate portrayal of what the PSP redesign would be. More details on Sony's PSN service will be forthcoming at TGS, but considering the fairly sparse support that the Home beta has received, we predict that the service will need a lot more time to develop into something truly worthwhile.

This says nothing about the actual release date it could be sooner or later but i think it will be later for some reason i didnt want it to happen but i knew it would.

Sony slammed for weedy PS3 marketing plan

Game publisher states the obvious

By Nick Farrell: Monday 10 September 2007, 15:20
THE HEAD OF Japanese videogame publisher Square Enix has bashed Sony for lacking a decent marketing plan for its PlayStation 3 console.

Yoichi Wada said that Sony seemed to have difficulty telling its arse from its elbow [I take it that is a paraphrase.ed] when it came to the PS3.

He said that Sony first unveiled the PS3 as a mighty home electronics product and then was badgered into moving it closer to a games machine.

Wada said that Sony still has not ironed this difference out. It is packed with a Blu-ray high-definition DVD player and a Cell microchip, dubbed "supercomputer on a chip". This is not needed for a games machine while it is advanced enough to be a hub of living room electronics, a high-speed gateway to the Internet.

He said that this lot drove up the manufacturing costs and meant that it is being killed off by cheaper games consoles such as the Wii.

What do you say when the head of one of your LARGEST and most sucessful partners says that about you?

Yep i read this.
Actually my Research Methods final was Playstation 3: The next revolution or another Dreamcast.
The point i made is that nobody EXCEPT Sony know what the hell they are doing. Their advertising is sparse, poor and convoluted. No one can debate that....the games are comming out and there is no huge hype, website advertising, no NOTHING for it.....where the hell was the crazy LAIR adverts? Doh mine the game is crap...where were they? Heavenly Sword?.....cmon the little 5x4 flash vid not cutting it on IGN website. WARHAWK!!!! WHAT>.......THE.......F*CK!!!!....what kinda ASSINININE commercial is that? the BF of the console is out and this is all they have to show???

when HALO 3 come out the WHOLE opening page to Gamespot is HALO 3....wtf

HYPE....SELLS GAMES!!!! especially in the US.

I see it exactly that way as well...
I can't see a major corp like Sony slowly killing themselves like this...

Is just that from my point of view they should start acting out their plans now and stop holding back....

Cuz i was wondering the same damn thing...Where all the marketing for Heavenly Sword???!?!?!??!?
I mean...thats there major flagship title...........

Unless they relying on previous hype , word of mouth and consumer research....Which in my opinion isn't as effective on its own...
Cuz the online community is just that much.... what about the people who aren't online and don't do research like ourselves...the "casual" gamer....

*sigh*

I can't agree with the idea that only Sony knows what they're doing seeing as Nintendo in less than 1 year managed to not only outsell the already 2yr old Xbox 360, but also managed to increase the 'gaming' market SUBSTANTIALLY. They have attacked sucessfully the untapped gaming market and have managed a MAJOR upset in this rounds of console wars. I would have to say in the least Nintendo also had an idea about what the heck they were doing, whether it was a last desperate attempt or not is inconsequential, they had a plan and have seen it through to fruition. MS on the other hand... I keep preaching that ALL they need to do is put a simple OS, include a keyboard and mouse and PORT WOW to the 360 and they'll WIN hands down :p but hey who's taking me on...

My cousin got his PS3 weekend gone, and it was the 1st time I saw a PS3 up close, and actually used it.
I must say, it is quite the machine. Technically, its head and shoulders above the Xbox 360, in terms of
on-board hardware, and connectivity. The memory card readers are a wonderful plus. The interface
is not that great (but nothing a snazzy update can't fix). Overall, as a tech-geek, I'm impressed. (yeah I said it

)

Then we come to the GAMES.....

sigh...

Sony, PLEASE step your 'game' up (literally). Now that I've actually used one, I want one a little bit more now,
but I need GAMES to give it purpose.

Nintendo is doing very well. ALways innovative...but the innovation is only a temporal shift in the game market. It will last for this generation but none after. You can target the non gamers for one round only, it is long enough for the non gamers to become gamers. The ones that dont jump for the Wii may never do so anyway meaning this chance is their first and last to pull this untapped market. It accounts for the sales and stats figures Reggie mentioned at the E3 press conference.

People are looking at the now. I myself am looking ahead. Galaxies releases, Brawl then Kart...then what? What other huge titles are on the horizon for Wii? Zelda is released, Mario, Pokemon, Metroid.....its only the spinoffs of the franchises to go still. but the main punch has been thrown and their marketing model was designed to get a headstart in the beginning which is very necessary, especially for a company that has not been "on top" for 2 generations. A very good format and model.

The N64 and Gamecube were not premiere consoles to buy during their time.....2 generations later Wii is the premier console to buy AND for a specific kind of audience. Nintendo is fantastic, and innovative...but their innovation is sporadic and sometimes does well and sometimes doesnt..this is the price to pay for innovation. its a law, a rule even.

My point is....now that these non-gamers become gamers....guess where they are going to opt to to play more advanced games?

On advertising: I was at the movies this past weekend to see Shoot 'Em Up and before the movie started, I saw an ad for Heavenly Sword. This ad was repeated on TV over the weekend during NFL football games. IMHO, it was really well done with some nice close-ups of Nariko and some bad@$$ "300"-style slow-motion action. You also get to hear her voice in the ad which gave it a nice touch.
