I agree US media propaganda has been getting out of hand for quite a while and with regard to the 20% YOY sales drop for November it's no different.

Even with a minimal amount of research any media could have figured out the PS3 the year before just had a new model introduced together with a price cut. For the whole of 2008 the PS3 didn't have an actual price cut on entry pricing, of course including the holiday season.

Yet year over year sales were up 38-40% for the US for the whole year in total. So IMO the 1/5 drop for just November is not enough to turn into a blind doomsayer.

Small problems with your logic of "US Media Propanganda"

- The media is loving the Wii and its from the same country as the PS3.

- The media loved the PS2 way more then the xbox

- Accepting that there's actually some sort of conspiracy theory of journalist having an agenda against the PS3

You see, in the last gen Microsoft didn't buy propaganda because they were losing. This time they were already winning so they bought it. It makes perfect sense once you notice the black helicopters swirling around Sony's HQ.

 

but they are not winning either this gen, read the articles its not about sony problems they have it they should be reported but the media have overthrow the new making look like the ps3 and sony will perish in painful death soon.

which is hardly not the case.

 

The media is reporting facts. If you want an opinion, read an editorial.

The main problem is - anyone with a blog can now be a journalist. A person who either earned a journalism degree or a person who has been trained in the field qualifies. Wannabes? Not so much.

Journalists are supposed to be reporting facts about companies and the like. To write a favorable article about a company that isn't truthful is against the code of ethics. It's a strict code that assures readers the facts are there - and they aren't spinning the topic.

Also, bloggers and other wannabes aren't bond to this code. They can do whatever they want and write whatever they choose.

WSJ is a fine newspaper. What personal stake do they have in video games? It's not like video games take out a few full-page ads in their publication. They are reporting news - whether you agree with it or not, it's the facts. Investors and other shareholders trust the newspaper - but a biased gamer thinks it's a turd? LOL ...

Companies have people paid to give them coverage - PR folks, skilled in the art of spin.

This guy? He wants attention and is getting it.
