Howard Stringer has assured Sony shareholders that he's turning the company's fortunes around, with PlayStation 3 a major factor in planned growth.
At a packed shareholder meeting in Tokyo today, Sony's boss said, "We have entered a period of re-emergence."
Sony's losses for the January-March quarter were up to 66.5 billion yen (US$578 million), worse than the 56.5 billion yen loss for the same period in 2005. Investment in PlayStation 3 was one of the reasons cited.
Stringer said the company is on target to hit an operating profit margin of five percent by the year starting April 2007, up from 2.6 percent last year. However, margins this year are down to less than 2% due to PS3'as introduction.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽
Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense
Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.
She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.
Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.
Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.
Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...
People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.
the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.
He doesn't come across as a crack-smoking Sony exec in this story (first time in a few weeks that can be said for any of the Sony leaaders).
Of course, if Kaz really believes they are gonna sell 100M PS3's, maybe Stringer just put down the crack pipe for a minute and Kaz snatched it up...
OK, that was a bit fanboy-ish sounding...
Sony has no doubt tied the future of their company to Blu-Ray and if it does not dominate the way DVD did, then nothing on earth can save them and companies like Samsung and LG will be licking their chops to buy the pieces...
PSZero and BetaBluRay will help bankruptcy you mean!
It's a big gamble. A non-standard mediaplayer in the most expensive console in this gaming area. The DVD in the PS2 was a standard, proven concept when they put it out. This is the other way around and a big bet.
It could be a bad bet easily, and then bankruptcy is closer then one thinks. Making losses, while MS is losing on 360 also, had loss with the original XBOX but still makes large profits.
Someone is walking the wrong path in this business and are so close on the edge that it's freaking scary...
PS3? help?
hahahahahahhahhhahaahhahhahha hahhhhahahahahhahhahahahhahahah ahahahahhahhahahhah
*head explodes from too much laughter*
lol anyone heard anything from xbox 1 lately? lol i still hear lots from dreamcast though...opps my bad!
