The Sony fanboys are indeed awful awful people but let me tell you from the perspective of someone who thinks that MS is the most consumer friendly company in the console business right now. Phil is a lot of times just spewing corporate garbage. Maybe not because he wants to but because it's his job. And lies should be called out immediately no matter how lovingly that individual may seem. That's not bashing or hating. That's just saying "Put up or shut up!"

Well id normally agree with you on this. But we have Cross play between Nintendo and MS for minecraft and rocket league, MS allowed Banjo games on the DS, Custom exclusive Mario themed skins/Worlds for minecraft on the Nintendo platform etc. Now imo id call that a strong relationship compared to what they have with Sony. But i guess we would have to see what the future holds or if it stays strong. But for now id say the is enough prof to show MS has a pretty good relationship with Nintendo compared to Sony.

It's all about nuance. If he had sad "pretty good" a lot less people would be wary of that statement, but he had to go all out with extremes. That's just corporate speech then and it's lame.

So technically, calling it "strong" is a lie. Also it seems to be a pretty one sided relationship.
