Sony's Stan Glasgow: Blu-ray to be a Social Network

And the art of not answering the question

Sony Electronics CEO, Stan Glasgow, has been chatting away about how the company is doing under Sir Howard Stringer's new 'Total Sony' strategy.

One point that came up regarding Blu-ray during the interview is that Sony is, "going to have to open this up as a social network - not just contributions of Sony and other Blu-ray partners.

"There are going to be contributions from actual customers."

There's no timeline for this though.

On another issue, Stan displays one of the greatest examples of not answering the question that we've seen in a very long time. He is asked, "How critical is the PS3 to your overall electronics strategy here in the U.S.?"

He replies, "I think that there's strength in Sony...it's about having a gaming division and an electronics division, a pictures division, a music division--we've never worked together like we have now. Hancock is a great example.

"We're so well-connected together. Here we are doing an experiment with a film. We're going to promote the heck out of it through our electronic retailers.

"The gaming division is working on it at the same time. (The) music (division) is involved. We're operating as a very balanced group. So what I can say is, without the gaming, we wouldn't be as strong and as balanced as we are today. It adds a great deal."

So, erm, how critical is PS3 though Stan? Answer came there none.
