They have all done about the same amount of lying...

Nintendo - Final Fantasy IV = Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy VI = Final Fantasy III (back in the day), Region Free. I feel like I'm really paying $250 for another Gamecube, with waggle.

Microsoft - 3-5% failure rate, Wii60 concept - I'm probably the only one that sees this as a big long term lie. They just want to convince people to buy non-Sony this generation while they take care of the Sony problem. After they defeat Sony (in their plan), they will wage war against Nintendo. Everyone is falling for Wii60, so everything is going according to plan for M$ total domination (a day when we see $100 games and Consoles that act like Vista). Also, we don't need HDMI, we don't need Hard Drive, We don't need a service like Home, etc.

Sony - Most have covered it here in this thread. Their lies definitely make it to the top of the press this generation, when Nintendo's and Microsoft's tend to get buried.

Maybe I have more of a distaste for M$ than the other companies.

Your examples discredit your assertion. "FFVI=FF3" was not meant as deception and isn't even Nintendo's doing. And overcharging is not a lie -- even if $250 is overcharging (which I do not grant).

 

I was always under the impression that the FF numbering change was Nintendo's doing, to either avoid confusion.  When the series defected to Sony, the numbering suddenly changed.

 

I probably should have clarified the $250 not as a lie, but more of what I'm really paying for.  I'll fork over $250 probably this Christmas when more of the titles I like arrive (SMG, SSB, and MK).  



"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
