mig; depends on what division you mean. Sony is immense in size and is known to sue itself from time to time. Razz

I'm a bit neutral to this. I believe that Kaz Hirai will try to better the situation of the PS3 before he makes any turns in the crossroads. I'm dearly hoping in a quick improvement of the Playstation Network for an example as well as better support for developers.
