Consumers will tend to gravitate towards the winning platforms due the the fear of short liftspan of the console and reduced title support. Rigth now Sony is getting sticked with this "last place"/"loser" images and as a marketing guy he is doing all he can to reinforce this image of "Microsoft is winning and Sony is losing" as it directly translate to sales. |
Oh, puh-lease.
If this is a "real useful function for microsoft", then the "PS3 is cheaper than the 360" is also useful for Sony, as it shows their value compared to the 360 and that one could just as well pick up a ps3 if one wishes to have everything from the get-go.
yet, when Sony does it, it's trash talking and BS, but when MS does something, it's "a real useful function"?
Sure.
