SuperboyAC's DC blog #5 (The State of MiniDisc and Sony)The MiniDisc and Sony
Why Minidisc is still relevant and how Sony should move on For those that aren't hip to the MiniDisc scene, you aren't aware that it is on the verge of extinction. I'm not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing. As a fan of all things MD related (just because they are so cool!) it is sad to see the demise of the format just over the horizon. However, I can't say it was unexpected or anything, because it just doesn't make sense for it to continue. Sony has nobody to blame but themselves, and the story of the Minidisc is so typical of Sony. Time after time, Sony will create a brilliant piece of hardware and utterly ruin it with poor decisions and implementations. Well, the Minidisc is no different. Sony made mistake after mistake after mistake with the Minidisc, and just when you thought they learned from their mistakes, they made yet another mistake. If Sony was your employee, you would have fired him long ago. I don't want to get too sidetracked here, but I've researched Sony a little bit over the years and it's just amazing that they have lasted this long--they have done some remarkably asinine things in the past. Fortunately for them, they'll come up with something great once in a blue moon that saves their ass (Playstation). |
