[QUOTE="Felon, post: 5770128, member: 8158"] What's surprsing is expecting the selling points from seven years ago to guide business practices today. Life is unpredictable, and requires flexibility. The past is for learning lessons going forward, not tying your hands. [B]THE PS4 COMETH: A ONE-ACT PLAY[/B] CEO: "OK, gentleman, we have every indicator that the time has come to start work on a new console. We can't wind up at the back of the pack like last time. I'm opening the floor to comments." Junior Executive: "Oh, excuse me, sir. I'm afraid I have some devastating news. It appears that back in 2005, we said that we'd have a 10-year cycle. Over and over again. To deviate from that now, seven years later, would make it look we're being inconsistent, indecisive, chaotic. People will be shocked. Surprised, even. We must hold off for a few more years, even if that means bankruptcy." CEO: "Well, that was our plan at the time. Seven years is a long time, and we can't predict the future. Sometimes plans must change. That is not being inconsistent, indecisive, or chaotic. That is just being realistic." Junior Executive: "But sir, what about all the industry insiders? For God's sake, think of the industry insiders! They'll be confused! Reality means nothing to them, and literalism means everything. They'll cry 'liar, liar, pants on fire' when they find out we broke our magical promise." CEO: "By 'industry insiders' do you mean people on internet forums who rage over trifles rather than the real injustices of the world?" Junior Executive: "Yes! And don't forget, some of them have blogs! I fear their judgment more than I fear for our solvency." CEO: "That's what I thought. You're fired." THE END [/QUOTE]
