I'm pretty sure Sony PR helped create one of the greatest stigmas in the industry; that Nintendo is for little kids.  I don't know why people feel the need to associate the inner workings of a company with PR.  The whole point of PR is to bullshit and cherry pick and put everything in a positive light for the company.  Why the hell do people associate a PR grunt with the arrogance of a corporation?  It's just talk.  The only way a company can show arrogance is if it does something tangible.....like charge 600 dollars for a machine.  THAT is arrogance. 

Even if his sentence was poorly worded, taking it out of context makes it seem worse.  His goal was to say that the Vita is in its own league, which I thoroughly understood.  He could have said it better in anticipation of the cherry picking media. 

And as for NGP being an updated PSP.....again this is PR.  Anyone expecting complete objective truths from PR of any company is quite frankly, a moron. 

Although, imo the tech changes from PSP to Vita are much greater than those from DS to 3DS.  The touchpad alone is a bigger difference to me. 

Why the insults?

I don't know about you, but I do expect to be told the truth when a company speaks about its own product and how it's supposedly better than the competition's... My question is, why do you insist on defending this corporate hired troll?

You haven't been completely objective about what you say either - - - - - How is adding a touch screen/pad to a PSP/NGP any bigger of a "tech change" than adding a 3D screen to the DS/3DS? Suddenly, you defending this PR doesn't seem so strange

I was using that to shock people into reality. It was for anyone who has been here for any length of time and refuses to acknowledge what a PR department does.  This is their JOB.  He's not a "troll", this is an internet idea.  His job is to spin things positively.  If they were supposed to tell the exact objective truth and said this they would be in trouble.  Since no company does this, after a while people should get the hint. 

As for my OPINION, I stated it was simply that. My opinion.  I don't believe 3d is that big of a deal, a bit of interesting novelty.  The touchpad and touch screen add a lot of depth to Sony's product that wasn't there with the PSP.  I think mutiple control schemes and changes of that magnitude are more interesting. 

I'm not defending a corporate troll, that is just childish forum talk.  I'm telling people to get a grip, how many times can you complain about the same thing, especially when it is so inane and obvious what's going on?
