Sony is arrogant. And it has nothing to do with claims made before the final PS3 come.


Here is a list of why I don't like Sony (while I have some fun with their PS3) :


E3 2005 : Trying to make ppl believe CG were actually in-game (KZ2).

I've been working with retailers. I've seen document distributed by Sony "explaining" that the PS3 was 15 more powerfull than an X360.

Rumble/Immersion : lying by saying you canno'nt have rumble WITH Sixaxis, while the real reason (fight against Immersion) was publicly known. Harrison saying the rumble was past... two weeks before the deal with Immersion and the possible return of rumble in sony's pad.

Talking about global launch, pointing MS problems, claiming how much Europe is important to Sony... we all know the result.

"I want a PSP for X-Mas" website... seriously ?

Retro compatibility for euro PS3 vs price...

What Sony try to do to Kotaku after the "Home" story.

Tretton and its 1200 $ dollars deal...

Overally, Sony has a way to make you wonder "Do I really look that stupid ? Do they really think I'm gonna believe all this shit ?".
And since they keep on going (seriously, USA low sales because of EU launch ? It's not even the same PS3 model !), that's saying a lot about what they think of their potentiel customers.
It's arrogance.

Still wondering why some ppl may not like them ?

you make some really good points..

they should not have lied about all those trailers...being real..

they should have just been honest about rumble not being in the ps3 from the start instead of admitting to it 6 months later...

they did screw europeans.. over a little.. if they took the emotion engine out they should have lowered the cost a lil bit...

what they did to kotaku was disgraceful

so i agree with some of your points...

but Microsoft is the same way just not as bad...Peter moore basically telling people to get over the 360's overheating problem is one example...

sony has done a better job starting this year not to come off as arrogant.. its not much but at least its a start
