In a recent Q&A session, Sony's CFO Lin Tao (via VGC) talks a lot about the studio's foibles such as with the public-opinion quagmire that is Marathon and the instant trainwreck of Concord. I should note that this was via an interpreter, so there'll be a smidge lost in translation, but it's all very telling how little Sony's dissuaded from its current path.
