I haven't seen Reggie take any cheap shots lately. And even his bet was done in a fairly gracious way "MW2 is a great game", I'll be playing MW2 for sure (I wonder if he has a 360, or PS3...he's probably a PC purits when it comes to FPS...except for MW Reflex of course).
I think Tretton likes to talk up his own system, and nothing wrong with that. I don't see what's wrong with the Tretton quote Mai has given. Actually if that's the best (worst) you can come up with it's pretty mild.
What I'm looking for is whether any of these company reps are making derogatory comments about the opposition. The 5 minutes on a shelf statement certainly isn't derogatory to the oppositon. Neither is Reggie's bet. Greenberg on the other hand was pretty disparaging about Sony/PS3/GT5 in that latest interview. In my view it was pretty unprofessional and unbecomming of a senior industry exec. I really hope we see less of it as time passes.
Sony's hands got pretty dirty early in this generation, with their attitude to both Wii and 360. But I think they've learned that to promote their machine they don't need to run down the opposition. Being humbled by the consumer in the way Sony has with PS3 was good for SCE's soul.
Nintendo have been pretty constant from what I've seen and they've mostly focussed on their positives in their PR approach from the beginning. |
Here's a Tretton-quote for ya.
"I think the PS3 is the Surf 'n Turf, the PS2 is your favorite burger restaurant... [Wii] is a lollipop, and I'm too old for lollipops. And the [Xbox 360] I get sick from once in a while because the cook isn't always reliable."

That's nothing, compared to the crap that Greenberg comes out with.
Reggie doesn't bash the other consoles, either. He just promotes the Wii. Which is, you know, his job.
