First I think it happens when you are losing, Jack Tretton was attacking Nintendo and Microsoft when the PS3 wasn't doing well, and that previous CEO of microsoft was doing it as well. I honestly thing the biggest step forward for Nintendo PR is to let go of Reggie, make Bill Trinen the head PR face of Nintendo of America. It really would solve this problem. If you are wondering who Bill is, he is sort of the face of Nintendo of America 3DS and Miyamoto's (Former?) translator. |
Not sure if it is only because of losing... it also have to do with the person talking... Ken Kutaragi even when everyone tought PS3 would steamroll everyone he done bad PR (and I would say more on lack of tact).
But yes, either sack or forbid Reggie and other people that don't know how to talk to press to say things that aint scripted. Sony put Shuhey more on front and MS with Phill because they are more likeable characters and can prop their own company, gives a pat on the back for competitors showing why they think they have the best product without talking ill about others.
