I don't think you can compare the two situations, because Sony has gone to great lengths to demonstrate that it's a supremely incompetent company (which it is).

I don't think you can compare the two situations, because Sony has gone to great lengths to demonstrate that it's a supremely incompetent company (which it is). Google has done nothing of the sort. Plus, people constantly expect innovation from the console makers, but for Google to hold on to its position in search, it just has to stay online.
- markokocic 15y agoWhile Google reputation has been superb so far, at least for normal users, their push for Google+ may change that. It's kind of "all in" move by Google. If Google+ succeeds, their brand will be even stronger, and as king of data, search and social they will stay leaders for the long time, giving them possibility to attack other market segments too. But if Google+ fails, Google brand will be severely damaged, and normals could go somewhere else. All Microsoft has to do here is to wait for the outcome and actively try to sabotage Google+ efforts by working together with Facebook.
- sausagefeet 15y agoI don't think G+ failing really damages Google's brand that much. It will just be another service people don't use on Google while they are searching.
- Poyeyo 15y agoYeah, the same that Wave damaged Google reputation. /sarcasm
- 0x12 15y agoWave failing is my only reason for not even checking out g+ until it is 9 months old.
