Not playing online for a few weeks was never that big of a deal, but the whole Sony waited a week to tell everyone that 77 million psn accounts got their information comprised was. Then Sony just figuring out SOE also got hacked the same time PSN was looks pretty damn bad. From a gamers stand point the RROD might look worse, but if you look from the companies standpoint this could possibly be a bigger blow to Sony especially if they get hacked again.      

We have to remember that Microsoft took 1.5 years to say that the failure rate was abnormally high on the 360.  They kept saying it was normal, even when they knew that there were some problems all along (Dean Takahashi has a really good article on that).

From how much it's going to cost the companies, we don't know what it will be for Sony when all said and done.  I'll reserve my judgement on that.

As far as recieving bad / good press, the gaming media tends to be more forgiving toward Microsoft than Nintendo or Sony.

lol, no, no it really doesn't, unless you have some sort of bias towards Sony and Nintendo...but that would never happen...not around here anyway!

 

I think both are a huge blunder, IF you remove the compromized data, and I'm not sure you can because that is a huge issue, then I think the RROD edges this out because it did take so long to fix, and it made MS a laughing stock and may have cost them many customers, both presant, and future. Otherwise, if you don't remove the comprimized data, hands down Sony loses.
