Forgive me if I am wrong, but didn't Microsoft criticize SONY for saying the same exact thing earlier in the generation?

No, everyone criticized everyone when it was suggested that the Wii was not a games console.

OT:

Of course not. It's clearly some kind of board game.

I'm confused lol.

 

I remember back then MS was focused on calling the 360 a "gaming console" and SONY was touting about the PS3 being a "total entertainment center" and Microsoft then criticized them for it.

Just like they did with HDMI, High-Def media, Wireless, etc...

I guess the implied statement is that Microsoft steals Sony's features after saying said feature isn't important.  If so, I bet I could come up with a few examples of hypocracy from Sony, too.  And probably Nintendo.....

I agree with you and I don't think it is a bad strategy. I just think it only highlights where people stand when they ignore the obvious hypocrisy.
