I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.

Right that ship. Sony will come through this. Kaz is making the tough decisions that needed to be made years ago.
Microsoft should buy Sony and combine Xbox and Playstation and call it Playstation X. That should solve all problems for Microsoft and Sony.
