"Btw, I think overhyping a system is a much better practice than Microsoft's paying people to hype their system. Kinda reminds me of your arguments."
I dunno. They are both overhyped lies anyhow.
"Also, I was too easy on this whole "the press is nice to Nintendo and Microsoft but hates Sony." Really? Because I'm pretty sure Home and Littlebigplanet were well received, especially the latter. The Elite has gotten hardly anything but terrible press because it's the stupidest move they've made in quite awhile."
I absolutely agree 119%. Them idiots. What competitive price advantage they had, they threw right out the window (and playing catch-up to Sony's game), making them look instantly, irremedially and terminally inferior to the PS3.
"I'm sure EVERYONE was all excited about microsoft paying people to chat up the bright side of their system, huh?"
No, but I know that you know that somehow Microsoft wasn't nearly a big a target as Sony in the eyes of the media, because somehow Microsoft wasn't nearly poo-pooed as much as Sony was. Hence, far fewer people are exposed to Microsoft's chat-up"scandal" (if you can call it that, because hardly any news was publicized about this, and what was publicized quickly died down), unlike Sony's campaign.
"As for Nintendo, the fact that they won't allow developers to have online games until they do is just great. I'm sure everyone loves that as well. Screw third parties."
Somehow I think consumers just don't see this as a major problem provided online does come around. I guess the sales numbers speak for themselves.
"EDIT: I'm sure folding@home and plans to use PS3s as supercomputers are generating negative press as well. Doubling the output to attempt to solve problems relating to terrible diseases. Just terrible, Sony, terrible."
No, that's a positive, but you would have to be as blind as any other Sony fanbat to think the inclusion of the CELL processor in the PS3 was done for the sole purpose of helping researchers find a cure for cancer. That was just a welcome byproduct of having the CELL processor in the PS3 in the first place, not because the PS3 was intended to double duty as a folding@home tool.
