The Ghost of RubangB on 19 May 2010

Q: Why are some people angry at John McCain for claiming he has never called himself a maverick?
A: Because he spent 30 years calling himself a maverick.

Weird choice for a hit and run thread.

OT:

Seriously, Sony is being the biggest hypocrite in the entire world and hypocrisy is pretty much one of the most annoying things ever.

They're a business. They talk big about themselves because they are a BUSINESS trying to convince the consumer they are worth their time. They take ideas and put their own spin on them because they have seen those ideas have been successful and hope they can make money off of it because...THEY'RE A BUSINESS.

I'm sorry but its really stupid to act like hypocrisy is the ultimate sin in the business world because almost every business that's successful has had to make adjustments to themselves that do not follow the companies original intentions. It's called adapting. Generally businesses that aren't willing to adapt their structure tend to die off relatively fast. If that weren't the case, we'd still be playing Nintendo console games on cartridges.

I don't care, that's the reason why people are finding it annoying even though every business does it.

Are you saying there's a better reason?

I don't see how you can call Sony hypocrites since I have no doubt Sony actually did see motion controls as a gimmick. We know for a fact Sony did mess around with motion control during PS2 years. Sony had hope the "playstation" name itself would  overcome the expense of PS3. PS3 is Sony's best built console which had a top of the line Blu-ray unlike the average PS2 DVD player. Thus a hypocrite wouldn't put a lot of money into something they didn't think it would succeed.

You do know about the PR Sony had years ago that downplayed motion control?

If Sony believe motion controls would sell PS3 I have no doubt PS3 would have had $600 worth of motion control. f course they downplayed it since that wasn't the area they focus on.

This is not worth arguing over, since it's a little sad.

I still think motion controls for the most part is a gimmick but Sony can't afford to ignore the fact that "this gimmick" sold consoles.

I suggest that Wii and PS3 fans unite and hunt down the runaway OP!

That is the answer to the question of the title of this thread

Here is a good reason to call Sony hypocrites.

Lol, good one.

This was two years ago and this shows they were not hypocrites. They actually follow this path just as they described and lost their butts doing it. It's the same when the Big N finally dump the cartiage after losing to PS.
