I think they honor the tried and true no comment strategy. Whenever they are asked a question they do not want to answer, or if they do not know the answer they say no comment. That is actually quite brilliant your not going to hide the truth, and more to the point people will hold it against you if you lie. Sony on the other hand is notorious for lying. In fact they seem to have no compunction about blatantly lying even in front of overwhelming proof to the contrary. You could literally bring them a thousand advertisements and they would dismiss them as being doctored. Basically this statement by him is worthless, because everyone knows that Sony has a problem with pathological liars in that they seem to prefer hiring them. That does not mean it will or will not happen. Just that you would get a better sense of things reading tea leaves, or dropping acid. Honestly I do not think Sony will drop prices on the PS3 this year. I think they hit their limit last year. The investors have had all they can stand, and they cannot stand anymore. Sony cannot go back to them hat in hand, and ask for the investors to cough up some more dividends so they can loss lead the PS3 into even darker territory. Nobody has any legitimate reason to complain about the pricing of the PS3 at this point regardless. I mean Sony actually loss lead on some units last year be as much as two hundred percent. That means they sold some consoles for half the manufacturing costs. How much more self mutilation do some folks expect. I am still shocked Sony had the balls to pull what they did last year, and I would be even more shocked no matter the situation if they did so again. What would be the point they saved the format. They saved the console. Making money is how they will save the division and the prospects of another console. |
I see, so only Sony lies eh?
As just one example why you are so incredibly wrong:
MS obviously never lied about the RROD. Nah, they didn't keep up the charade that all was fine for over a year. Not at all. Nononono. They didn't tell us the failure rate was just fine and dandy while it was in fact horrible. They wouldn't do that.
All these companies are in it for one thing only - money. All of these companies will lie, cheat and swindle to get it. No one of them is any worse or better than any other. People who think otherwise are just deluding themselves.
