Try again.

Sony is mentioned in the op. Sony couldn't even be arsed showing up. ONE wins.

thanks for sharing this and showing how Microsoft care a bit, but Sony don't give a rats arse

What like how microsoft bothered showing up for gamescom, the biggest gamer event in the world and the tokyo game show last year? Thanks for showing how Sony care a bit, but microsoft don't give rats arse.

Try to stick the the current year when making a rebuttal to current events.

Both companies don't make it to events, thats not the point. The point is to not indirectly imply one cares while the other doesn't.

I kind of disgree here.  The author of the original post suggest Microsoft doesn't care because they didn't have the same level of access at PAX Australia that Microsoft had at the San Deigo Comic Con.  Therefore, it is fair and relevant to argue the point that one doesn't care while the other does. 

The author and by submission the OP is implying that Microsoft doesn't care about the Australian market because it was present, but didn't have the same presence as it did at another conference.  That is a patently absurd statement to make when you don't lob the same accusation against Sony at the same time.  Had the article either been about how Microsoft missed a chance to win over Australian gamers, or had the article been about how neither Sony or Microsoft took the PAX Australia conference seriously, the article would have been justified.  It didn't.

You can't accuse Microsoft of not caring about Australia when it's actually there at PAX Australia when Sony doesn't attend.  Something is EXTREMELY wrong with that accusation and argument.  How anyone can defend it, is beyond me.
