Sony reaches out to the community with PlayStation.Blog
Sony has never been known as a very personal company, especially in their entertainment division. Since the launch of the Playstation 3, there has been backlash from the gaming community saying that Sony doesn't care and about its customers, ignores reality, and refuses to address the community directly. Sony has countered this concern by launching a new blog that will speak directly to the Sony community.
It’s with enthusiasm, eagerness and, honestly, a little bit of relief that we lift the cover on our first official Sony Computer Entertainment America company blog - welcome and sorry for the wait.
PlayStation.Blog is a bit of work in progress, we see it as a place where we can share with you our company’s collective insights, opinions and perspectives on all things related to SCEA, PlayStation and the industry we play in.
Microsoft has had an ongoing relationship with the community through Major Nelson (Larry Hryb), the Xbox Live Director of Programming. Nintendo has no direct outlet like this, but is considered more in touch with the community than Sony. There is the potential to really turn around the perception of Sony in the eyes of the gaming community with this blog. Hopefully it will become more than a simple outlet for plain-language press releases and screenshots.
