i kinda get the feeling that Sony modeled their Press conference after Microsoft's.
i mean they had a few hours to decide what to announce and what not, maybe they were prepared to announce a pricecut, but since Microsoft didn't, they saw no reason to do that either.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
