Forums - Gaming Discussion - Was sony this bad back in 2006 compared to xbox one?

 

So?

Arrogant my name is don 35 16.91%
 
Xbox one? 12 5.80%
 
Yes, worse then sony 96 46.38%
 
Almost as bad as sony 33 15.94%
 
Oh, they are getting there 18 8.70%
 
Driving off a cliff 13 6.28%
 
Total:207

I'd say they are pretty comparable.

Sony was more arrogant but Microsoft has been blundering more (although I would take arrogant PR any day over blundering PR).

The difference is unlike Sony in 2006, MS is in third place world wide. The PS2 was the best selling home console of ALL time. The PS1 and PS2 dominated the industry for over a decade. Sony had reason to have such massive egos. Microsoft? Absolute mystery. I don't know if they're just really dumb, or just....IDK lol.



At least Sony didn't try to force us to connect every 24 hours and then tell to us to buy the old model if we refused. Or put restrictions on what we can do with OUR game purchases or anything else.

I feel Sony back then is no where near comparable to what Microsoft is with Xbox One today

PS3 just hade the higher price tag and it hade free online. Xbox One is in way worse shape than PS3 was.

No, I don't think Microsoft has been as bad.

The PR attitude towards customers has perhaps been a little worse on MS' front, but their console is cheaper, and has something of a lineup for the first year, whereas the PS3 was even more expensive than this and had one title worth owning for the first year of its existence.


That's a valid argument but I personally believe the the 24 hours authenticity checks, always online, and not owning your own games overshadows Sony's disastrous PS3 launch. 

The internet backlash is far more explosive than I ever remember it being for PS3.

Almost as bad i'd say. They did win the generation by a huge margin compared to MS. Arrogance is arrogance though.

If what has been going on the last month with Microsoft isn't arrogant enough for you,  I dunno what arrogant is anymore.

Wow, this may have changed my mind about the don mattrick. He will never give you up. He also promises to never tell a lie and hurt you.

Perfect! This was bound to happen sometime. Also I love this song, shame he didn't release anything else that was decent
