Thanks for listening!
I've ac...Hi Christof,<br /><br />Thanks for listening! <br /><br />I've actually been wondering the same thing in regards to possible cultural differences. If I had to guess, I'd say the fact that Sony is a Japanese company certainly didn't help matters. I do remember being pretty shocked seeing Kaz and other execs bow before a shareholder's conference. Dramatic stuff in a culture based on public stature.<br /><br />The other thing to consider is how huge Sony is. With all their many divisions, it's possible this whole mess has been exacerbated by internal communication breakdown.Scott Justerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775296635863850847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-68225308432675245492011-05-19T07:56:49.922-07:002011-05-19T07:56:49.922-07:00Sorry, Edit:

I really wondered about this, since there are seemingly parallels with what happened after Fukushima (where even the prime minister accused the responsable company of not being transparent about the events, not even to him).<br /><br />There's the kinda difficult idea of Japan as a "culture of shame" - but I couldn't help thinking about it when I witnessed how they reacted in a way that looked, from my perspective, erratically or at least counterproductively. (This is also interesting in light of the fact that one of the reasons why I chose a PS3 over an XBox is actually that there are more Japanese games aviable for it - my main "Western" gaming platform being the PC.)<br /><br />And very good points about that what happened is the price you might have to pay for their (comparably) more liberal attitude - I always champion open platforms over closed ones (Android phones, PC etc.), but that's easier to do when you never experienced anything bad coming out of it...Christofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14232651432954778668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-62161571245296711822011-05-19T07:40:43.338-07:002011-05-19T07:40:43.338-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Christofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14232651432954778668noreply@blogger.com
