Sony apologizes for lackluster year

I like Sony, as a game company at least (uh oh). Know why? They're a company that doesn't binge itself so much on marketing and PR that they won't admit their weaknesses. Too many interviews feature journalists asking the same tired questions and the company president or developer or whatever answering with the same tired answers.

It was obvious that Hirai couldn't handle both jobs for long, and Harrison's successor has finally been announced: Shuhei Yoshida will be the new President of SCE Worldwide Studios.
