I can already see the hate coming from a mile away but I personally don't think they do. In reality, when a company(or a human being) has their back against the wall they will do whatever it takes to get out of the situation. Whether it be, kiss ass, lie, cheat, steal, bribe, suck hole, toss money around....pretty much anything goes. Basically the only viable option for MS to do was to try and repair their broken image and to kiss consumers asses a whole lot and to shower them with gifts and make it look like they care about the little guys. You be the judge |
Let me ask you something Viltgance. If you work for a company and your old boss screws up the business for you, so he gets the sack and you get a new boss to replace him, does that mean the new boss has to suffer the same imagin even though it wasnt his doing? Of course not. Sony stuffed up with the PS3 but isnt it funny how many gamers forget about it.. and to be honest the PS3 stuff up was heaps worse then the XB1 and thats becuase the XB1 still mamnage to be cheaper then there previous console and they never told you to get 2 jobs to afford it, while the XB1 had many reasons for its DRM and internet connections which most gamers today dont understand. Iv been gaming for more then 20+ years and now i game on Steam as my main. Basically the difference is MS policies had to do with gaming while Sonys policies didnt. Those gamers like yourself who beleave that corps dont deserve forgiveness while prasing another corp are the ones who have no idea about the industry. Sony hid behind a rock while MS had stones throw at them. Sony had the same ideas and vision, they wanted DRM (paywalls etc), a Kinect (PS Camera) , a Cloud (Gaikai) TV (PS TV) Online connections (PS NOW). So while you grow a hatred for MS because you think they did the wrong thing well think again, its the innocent ones that you need to watch out for.
At the end of the day i dont buy consoles because i love a corparation, i buy consoles for the love of the games, if its Mario or God of War or Halo. A console doesnt make the games bad. Atleast MS are listening to there customers, do you think Apple would do the same with there phones? No.
