Some of these folks like to say that Sony is worse for "breaking promises" -- as if, since MS never promised not to have RRoD, that makes it more ok. Microsoft is also arrogant (and Nintendo invented it). Microsoft also uses false publicity. Microsoft's marketing team was more active early this gen, especially online. |
As far as PR goes, Nintendo seems to be the cleanest of all the BS. Compared to Yamauchi, Iwata is very respectable. While I don't like what the Wii has to offer in gaming this gen compared to the other two consoles, I have come to really respect their marketing and PR.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
