[They have enough free reign to create a upgraded Xbox that is not needed but cannot make better exclusives? I dunno how to weigh the pros and cons of this argument.] Microsoft is going for the petty battle and thats when they will boast just like they did the Xbox S.

Sony's response to Microsofts passive aggressive behavior.

"While others have shifted their message and changed their story, we were consistent in maintaining a message that is fair and in tune with consumer desires,"

Well I mean yeah when you not only twist words but ommit the actual argument as well, that tends to happen... But don't worry I will give you the step by step as to what just happended:

- You were talking about passive aggresive attacks by Microsoft despite what Phil says. I responded directly to and contested that.  

- Instead of responding to that, you proceed to ask a question about hardware and exclusives of Xbox and what they are free to do. As if I said mentioned anything about freedom regarding hardware when I was very clearly talking about Phil's communication in comparison to Microsoft's.

- You proceed to somehow confuse yourself.

- Then you recommit to your original argument as if it was never contested and quote Sony as if it were evidence of something?

The general gist of your confusion is willfull ignorance. As in you willfully removed both the key information and most of the argument, and were confused by the argument you yourself replaced it with. Now if you actually go back and not do that, maybe your confusion will fade.

Im not confused at all. I think you're reading into what I am saying further than you should. I considered it a passive aggressive attack as a whole, since it actions by the company represent the company. One person says one thing and another person says another. At the end of the day Sony was right to call them out on their passive aggressive behavior when they were trying to bring about good faith in the spirit of competition. Despite that though, I still think Phil will continue to congratulate Sony and the only exclusive Microsoft has that could possibly wow if done right (for now) is Crackdown. Lets hope they dont moneyhat another third party game, because like the 360 gen eventually they will run out of luck and have no one to give them high profile titles in the latter years. Last gen they were winning as well and still managed to have a slight drought in the last two years.

If im confused, so is Sony. They respond to PR as is.
