Sony executives seem to live in a magical land painted silver and cobalt, with “Sixaxis” and “PS3” carved into giant reliefs that sit atop giant archways that lead into vaults of profit. Unfortunately for them, the video game industry has not crossed into that dimension. In fact, it continues to drift further away.

The Box says ”Behold!”

Sony’s comments are confusing at best, but they seem to genuinely believe that the Playstation 3 is selling like hot cakes, and that they are meeting demand better than any other company.

I’m sorry. But, all things considered, Nintendo is excelling in that field much better. The Wal-Mart where I am currently stationed receives 9 Nintendo Wiis each Tuesday (or Wednesday), and they are sold out before 4:00PM. They have PS3 stuff sitting her constantly and it is immobile. Perhaps it is merely ornamental or afixed to the surface it rests upon by some unholy adhesive. Who can say for certain?

In order to be meeting demand for your product, there has to be demand for your product. For the Playstation 3, no such demand yet exists. Even the folks at Penny Arcade waited to buy one, and only got one because it was up for auction during Child’s Play. They purchased it for double the retail cost but only because they are nice guys. The purchase was made for the children and not for the system’s merits (if there are any).

Sony, Sony, Sony. I pity you. It seems like many of you feel pressed to say nice things about a system that is unappealing, worthless, and marketed poorly. And because of this, the gaming community laughs at you.

It is certainly entertaining how they attempt to change the social climate towards their system by reporting that it has been “flying off of shelves”. It seems as if they are trying to run their system into the higher sales numbers through outright lies as opposed to the failed deceptive marketing techniques of the past.

Good luck Sony. May the united forces of Nintendo and Microsoft leave your empire in wastes, crumbled around its foundations and lying amidst the remains of your immense ego.

The Box says “Sad Sony”.
