Microsoft: on PS3s recent sales surge "We expect it to be short-term and we expect them to be back down to third place soon like they’ve always been.”

wow the fanboys are really out and running with this topic. You guys are pathetic honestly This comment was a bit arrogant but its PR for crying out loud. Both companies have done it and if your so offended by it then you really need to get a life outside of VGchartz. Everyone on all sides needs to just calm down your getting worked up over nothing.

The point is, Microsoft keeps doing it, and without any hint of remorse.  Almost as if its a tactic to try to draw in the other side (Sony and Nintendo) into some kind of PR catfight so they can then smear their name and then outdo them in marketing.

Its a tactic many have tried to implement before, including Microsoft many times over the years.

Its not called PR for nothing. While i dont condone Microsofts behavior the fact of the matter is every company does this and its just business and since when does it really matter to any of us. If its truly that big of a deal then SONY will respond back. We dont need to be the ones offended especially since this wasnt aimed at any of us.

But every company doesn't do this.  Nintendo to my knowledge never has made comments anywhere close to this.  The worst comments I have ever heard from a Nintendo exec is from the Vice President of Nintendo of America calling the Xbox Overpriced and 'only for people who like Mature shooters' or something to that extent.  And he doesn't even work there anymore.

And as I stated above, the Sony execs have stopped their negative PR as well, along with their management structure being totally re-arranged.

Its just Microsoft pulling these asinine PR stunts now.  Its like they still think its 2001 and if they just keep saying things, their fans will believe them and buy more copies of Halo.
