Good for Sony, and good for us. Now if only Sony fanboys lost their arrogance...

Funny how Sony fanboys can only be the arrogant ones.

Fact of the matter, Fanboys are fanboys, regardless of the console.

Due to the mass amount of Sony hate over the previous years on forums, have made the fanboys come out.

 

Now just imagine if it were, Nintendo or Microsoft in that position, oh trust me you would see fanboys come out of the damn sky.

Don't even go there.

Though I think it's a matter of perception.  Afterall Sony was arrogant when they were on top too... nobody cared.

They were on top.

People can put up with Nintendo Fanboys being arrogant because well... the nintendo is way ahead.  It's Lebron James.

People can put up with Microsoft Fanboy arrogance because, well they've never been ahead and are doing better then last gen.  It's like your hopeless friend on the baseball team going 2-4 and actually scoring an RBI.  He's overstating his achivement, but i mean for him it's good and you feel ok letting him have hiss day in the son.

People are more bothered by Sony Fanboy arrogance, because it's like playing a kid in streetfighter who's beaten a bunch of people, says he's the best... then he gets beaten a few times in a row and complains a combination of badluck, being tired, playing Ryu even though Blanka is his first character and not being serious... and then talking about how he would be kicking your ass if he really was serious. 

 

I'm sure N64 fanboys REALLY got on peoples nerves back when the PS1 was kicking ass too.

I thought their new ad was extremely arrogant and threw unnecessary jabs at Natal and the Wii Remote.

Even if it was just an internet viral ad (did I hear that correctly?), it's still arrogant as hell.

My first reaction to this article is a positive one, and I'm glad and can't wait to see what they change their corporate face into.

But then I start to think about it and their new ads are just as arrogant as their old ones. So I'm not really sure what to take from all of this.

Halp!

"It only does everything" isn't arrogant?

Did I miss something?

It only does anything is at the very end of the commercial, and nobody really pays attention to it.

so only being arrogant at the end of the commercial is ok? I don't really understand what you mean.

Besides, It Only Does Everything is Sony's new slogan for PS3 and is on all the print ad, front and centered.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Pretty much, well that and that's not so much arrogance as "puffery".  It's a mild exagerration that sounds better then "It does a lot of shit that we can't really list in 5 seconds."

Lately, seems like Sony's all over the agressive advertising. But I've learn to take what companies, especially PR, says about their image with a grain of salt.

Much like when Kotick tried to explain how he wasn't a complete ass trying to destroy the industry.
