Joystiq's Conrad Quilty-Harper cornered Sony's Phil Harrison at the Develop Conference in Brighton recently to ask him about perceptions that Sony is arrogant.

Harrison neatly dodged the accusation:

There's always going to be a risk when you are market leader for ten years that we start to lose perspective; and we have to make sure that we don't lose perspective. But I don't think we're arrogant, I think we have to recognize that we're in a highly competitive industry and that anything that we say will be eternally editorialized by professionals and consumers alike. So we're always in the spotlight.

Harrison then defended Kaz Hirai's whole "Microsoft is copying Sony" claim as well saying that quotes can be taken out of context. Brian Crecente
