“It was a social experiment”

The classics are the best.
When confronted with a failure, don’t try and recognise the fault, instead try and act as though you were doing this on purpose all along as an experiment… at the expense of your customers!
I really hope someone got shitcanned at Sony for the Go!
I mean, it’s not like anyone could have foreseen this happening is it really? Who could have known that not following through on promises to release all UMD games on PSN would end like this? Who could have imagined that releasing digital versions of games sometimes weeks (sometimes never) after the physical UMD release would irritate gamers and promote a distrust in you as a brand name?
No, no… sorry, it wasn’t those reasons the Go failed right? It’s because;
consumers like their packaged media library
…yeah, and they also appreciate that packaged games release on the date advertised, not weeks later if at all.
