deadline monkey and the infinite sadness

So yeah, I have a certain degree of earned cynicism about Sony at this point, so maybe I'm not the guy to ask this question, but if you watched their press conference yesterday, did it seem really fucking weird to anyone else?

I don't mean Kevin Butler up there on stage worshipping a golden calf or whatever the fuck it was that he thought he was doing. I don't mean that sassy black kid that's going to be the new face of the PSP brand, although that was somewhere between amusing and cringe-worthy.

Mostly I'm wondering about how they packed the room. The audience response seemed far out of proportion to the actual value of what was said, pretty much at all times, even when someone on stage was saying patently ridiculous things. I cannot take a man seriously when he claims his company is an industry leader and font of boundless innovation when he's got a fucking blue-balled Wiimote in his hand.
