No.

I've read your posts in this thread. You do not give an explanation as to why the comments Andrew House made were unprofessional and childish. None. You simply said it was. I've asked you now what exactly about the comment was unprofessional/childish and you cant give a reply. I've given an explanation for my opinion. It doesnt make it right, but atleast im trying to back up my opinion. But ive been asking you to explain yours. And you havent.

-_-  Ok so I guess I will repeat myself.

So would it have been professional if MSFT said "Hey buy XBL, we don't allow 80m accounts get hacked?"

No that is out of poor taste and no comment should be made like that.  They let XBL do the talking for them in this case.  

Sony has made mistakes in the past and it is not respectful of a company (Even a competitor) to act like arragont jerks about those mistakes.  They should let their products talk for them.

I think i addressed this already in a previous post.

Pointing out competitor flaws and highlighting your strengths is a good thing. Surely this isnt opinion? And companies should be doing it. They do it all the time. Its not arrogant to do so. Its not disrespectful. Its not being a jerk. Its selling your product. Can we agree on that?

The way in which you go about doing this can be childish and at worse unprofessional. But again, refering to Andrew House's exact statements, their was nothing unprofessional and childish about it. He stated that Xbone has been chopping and changing their policies and direction and Sony has not. This is a factual statement.

Its a genuine point to be making to consumers who are going to be buying one of the consoles. Especially when it comes to changing of policies, as this becomes an issue of consumer trust. Sony has gained consumer trust over this year and MS has lost consumer trust. This wasnt a cheap jab. It was an actual thing that happend, and Sony addressed it better.
