In an somewhat ironic twist, the behemoth that is the PS3 is getting beaten by...well, itself. The latest news coming from Japan: Sony's own Computer Entertainment Software team is parting ways with Sony. The team behind such masterpieces as Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, have stated that, "Creativity is the foundation of our team, and the PS3 does nothing to embrace that, but rather, severs it at it's heels." The cold statement, made by one of the team's co-founders, is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to 'internal mudslinging'. Another former chairmen announced publicly yesterday that, "We will begin searching for a new platform to reside with and as such, will being hiring 200 new members for our team." With all the attacks at the hands of Sony employees, the only logical question is to ask, why? Newly hired Sony Director Higaru Tickeru, gave us a somewhat lengthy and very bold e-mail explaining the recent events:
"Sony has become the very visual image of Ouroboros. They are blinded by their own power and as a result, refuse to admitt their flaws and mistakes. Their so-called expert advisors lead them to believe that every choice they have made has been perfectly executed, but that could not be farther from the truth. In a personal sense, they have ruined us by throwing out dev kits that are near-impossible to decode. In a broader sense however, they have done their customers wrong, which makes their low-sales completely understandable. Allow me to simply state the confliction with these two facts: Development for the PS3 is extremely challenging, and therefore costly, but by being disloyal to their fans, they are lacking buyers and thusly, development costs can never be recouped. The fans of our creations, however, should not fret, for we are determined to continue making games, but to which platform they may show up on is another story."
Stay tuned for frequent updates on the Sony confrontation.
