Well, the thread itself is about Reggie saying something rather silly. You should expect people from all sides to facepalm.

The problem comes when you try to deflect that by pointing out things the other PR guys do wrong, or by pointing out the clear double standards people have.

What you were doing was simply deflection. Avoiding talking about the apparent problem (though you may have earlier), and directing the conversation more towards problems in Sonys PR and Sony fans' behaviour.

And I was tired and grumpy

Hehe, okay :)

I realize I was overly defensive with Kitler. I am trying to react less but I think people jump on Nintendo reps too much in general and I expressed why but I'll slow down now that I said what I needed to say.

I promise you though I won't let it stop me from enjoying my summer and the festivities  

@Oni. What I meant was you're not there explaining why the Vita didn't getit like you always did for the Wii, and saying that people complaining are whiners. I thought that was a bit differential. Anyway it's ok.


well now that you seem calmer allow me to clarify that i wasn't hating on reggie or major nelson.  i laught at all of these PR statments because they are always quite silly.  but i fully understand that they are paid to put their company/product in the best light possible.  

i think reggie had some epic spin here.  we all know wiiU's sales haven't been great but reggie found a way to phrase things that is truthful but also misrepresnts the situation in his company's favor.  it was pretty epic spin. really, the best spin i've heard since xbone lost november's NPD that major nelson spun into an xbox victory with his "fastest selling console" spin.
