Honestly I think it is childish by sony seeing as how they have done so poorly this generation. I havent seen any of these advertisements either but either way I expect more out of a professional business than to behave this way. Not a big deal regardless though.  Childish but no reason for people to get upset.

As far as little kids on xbox, yeah it is true but im always in a Party Chat. And id hardly say it is exclusive to XBL as I hear little kids everytime i play on PSN as well

EDIT: And please for the love of god get rid of bluethooth headsets sony and make officiol headsets.  Bluetooth sucks and you can hear way too much background noise in peoples houses.  like a damn crying baby or someone's music playing


I only hear little kids everytime i play any COD online game on both consolses i never hear them on Halo. You might hear them more on XBL because its more social than PSN.

They advertised Mario more than their own games (where are the Sly4 ads?) with this, good job I'd say.

It doesnt bother me much. The insults are pretty mild and while Nintendo and MS certainly wont like it I doubt they are too bothered by it.

Fanboys get happy or angry. MS and Nintendo only care about swipes at their financials.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Well I sure as hell don't feel offended or anything like that. I can't say I really care one way or another but I don't think it's best approach. It seems immature and reminds me of the political adds that people have already mentioned.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Whatever floats their boat, I guess.

like in the Sony is a bully thread I will give you the cut down version.

This is marketing 101, when you are behind the competition you can take wise cracks at them in good spirit.

PRIME EXAMPLE PEPSI vs COKE. check out some pepsi ads.

This is an old game Sony used to play in the 5th gen. Microsoft isn't like Nintendo; they'll hit back

i think sony thinks that nindendo is dead this gen with the U,and ms has been getting a ton of bad press with its specs/always on line/and no used games.. plus sony knows it has japan and europe in its pockets over ms.. even though ms has the usa,sony does ok over their too, sony also does better in the rest of the world(places that arent usa/eu/or jap) over ms... their confidence level is through the roof

I barely run into 12 year olds on Xbox Live maybe I'm just lucky that way.
