Email: Quick Note About Sony

I don’t know if you saw after you woke up from your boredom induced nap, but Sony revealed a new Twisted Metal at the end of their conference.  I only mention this because, in my opinion, it’s probably the closest thing Sony has to old school arcade like gameplay.  This is probably entirely by accident and they’ll think any success is due to franchises and brand recognition or other buzzwords, but I thought it was interesting.  Other than that, the conference was a gigantic meh of course.  I don’t really get Sony’s game here.  They seem to mostly be staying the course and churning out the required yearly sequels to the “hardcore” games, but also stretching themselves thin with new 3D(because features that require a $2000 TV will work THIS time) and ripoffs of last year’s Wii games.

Sorry to talk about boring Sony, but I’m way too pumped about Nintendo’s new stuff to talk about it rationally!

Sounds just like Sony’s behavior to the Walkman when the iPod was out for several years…
