How is it unprofessional?

Sony is trying to get people to buy the PS4 instead of Xbone. They are saying MS can chop and change policies and direction at any time. While sony has not. These consoles are in direct competition, how is it out of place to tell people you are the better brand?

Also it wasnt just making fun. They are simply saying they are better. Its quite a different thing. Andrew house looked dead serious when he said it.

Would you consider it professional if Microsoft said  you should play Xbox Live because Sony allowed 80 million accounts to be hacked.  Or would it have been cool if MSFT and Nintendo back in 2006 said Buy our console and unlike sony, you dont have to pay an arm and a leg for it.

Would that be considered professional as well?

LOL you make as if nothing was said over the years.

Yeah those comments are all fair game. If a company fucks up...other companies need to play off of it to their advantage. When a company shows a weakness, thats the perfect time to show your strengths.

If MS said people should play Live because your Sony account got hacked then thats fine (in fact a lot of people did just that ). That doesnt mean MS is happy that people's accounts got hacked. Its not like they saying "See what happens when you support sony you get your shit stolen! you get what you deserve idiots!" now that would be unprofessional. Companies DO MUCH worse stuff all in the name of competition....the worst i've seen in the gaming industry amongst the bigthree is just highlighting strengths when one of the other three are showing weakness. Why wouldnt you do that? Thats the whole point.

You blowing this waaay out of proportion just because MS is on the receiving end.
