sony is fony
As if sony hadn't already severely damaged it's reputation with it's consumer base with it's PSP graffiti art mishap last year and those stupid and racist television commercials with the balls of string and squirrels and crap, they are at it again. but first, a brief aside...

Now, i already am not going to buy a PS3 from these sony corporate slim. in fact, i don't know anyone planning on buying a ps3. As i have heard it put before: there is no clear winner in this generation console war, but there is a clear loser. The fact is that people cannot and will not pay $600 for the ps3, even if it cost $850 to make. A single-income household isn't going to buy a ps3 for Billy when Billy probably wants the $250 Wii more anyway. Even in what I would consider sony's "target" demo, young single males such as myself, i have heard mainly outcries at the price and lack of decent games, with an occasional "though the graphics are great" thrown in. On top of that sony failed to ship anywhere close to their target consoles for opening day, so that not even all the hardcore sony fanboys could get their fix. Nintendo has shipped far more Wiis and from everything I have heard, the system is more fun. Oh and let's not forget the violence/crime surrounding the ps3 launch: a line of people waiting for ps3's held at gunpoint by robbers turned out to be a hoax by the Gamestop employees themselves, and the one i can't overlook, which was barely covered in the media, is that an 18-year old suspected of being involved in robbing 2 ps3s was shot in the head by law enforcement officers when he opened his front door and subsequently died. Oh, and they killed his dog too.

back to the story at hand:
sony has hired an advertising company to market it's failing psp by trying to create viral marketing via a fake blog complete with shameless ads and deception. The story was brought to my attention by Penny Arcade's article and comic on the matter. gfg sony, how about not making enemies of your target demographic?
