how was what was said trash talk?

the sony rep said that ( in simple terms ) the ngp is better did you expect him to say otherwise?

regardless of what you believe it is a common practice for companies to downplay their opponents' offerings and hype their own ( how else would they raise awareness for their product and gain interest? )... the same happens for example in political campaigns

It is, in fact, trash talk. Not the worst I've seen but it's trash nonetheless

Just because it's common practice (according to you) does not mean that it isn't wrong

no not according to me next time you watch tv pay close attention to the ads and see if most ads at least to a certain extent don't have comparisons between the product being advertised and its competitors, where the competitors are downplayed and the product is hyped
