Sony responds to Greenberg's statment#1

PS3 hardware’s performing strongly then, but how do you feel first party PS3 software’s doing? Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg suggested yesterday that Halo 3 has outsold a large number of PS3 games – including the Uncharted and Resistance franchises - combined, based on NPD figures.

Well I’m really happy with them because as I said, we’re selling more than we ever have done before. Secondly, I’m not too fussed about the competitive bits or people’s comments because at the end of the day, I’ve only got my focus, and that is giving consumers a great experience and great content and I don’t care what anybody else does. If we are doing that and if we are measured by the enjoyment and the engagement that we have with our consumers and we can have a successful business then that’s what it will be. Our DNA is about innovation and giving people technology that they didn’t even realise they needed at the time and about pushing the envelope.

FABULOUS RESPONSE SONY!
Very mature!


Seriously Sony WTF stop stealing Nintendo's strategy. This sounds almost identical to Nintendo's statements released when Sony was calling the Wii a gimmicl. I mean honestly innovative and giving people new technology. If he's refering to the Wiimot.... I mean Move then I can't help but laugh at his arrogance.

Sony has in the past been very immature in regards to the Wii I remember Sony execs going all out calling it a gimmick and talking trash. During that occasion Microsoft was more mature and so was Nintendo but Sony was a little whinning baby.I remember the PSP announcement and how degrading and insulting it was to the GameBoy:Advance. Sony execs actually called the GameBoy crap I remember hearing it in the post E3 round tables and interviews. Sony was very arrogant saying the age of crap was coming to an end and Sony was revolutionalizing the handheld industry. They were so confident they through tons of insults Nintendo's way.

I'm not meaning to trash Sony but they seem to always act arrogant and insult the competition. I mean just look at the Move ads. Kevin Butler makes the Wiimote sound and look like crap in the trailer where he whips his hands up and down. Fact is Sony has never been mature in the past and this one comment just seems like a stolen strategy.

I can gaurantee if Sony's software sold as well as Microsoft or Nintendo's that they would be doing the exact same thing Microsoft is. Sony always bragged during the PS2 era they bragged about the PS3/PSP at E3 when they were first unvieled.

So Sony eat your humble pie and shut your smack talking mouth. Yes this one statement was very mature but in all in all Sony has been a smack talking childish company. The only reason their being so mature today is because they can't do anything but be mature everyone would just laugh at them if they bragged about PS3 or PSP!


Yes, Sony is stealing the strategy of "Not sounding like an ass."



Wow.... i didn't expect this. But it's way better than before.

 

Only one thing here "we’re selling more than we ever have done before".... is he talking just ps3? Or ever??? B/c that sounded like ... a lie to me.

 

Oh, the innovation part too seems kind of..... yeah



A good response..but...

 

"Our DNA is about innovation and giving people technology that they didn’t even realise they needed at the time and about pushing the envelope."

 

Yea...because the sixaxis,  and sony move are innovation and being ahead of the curve...really?

 

Im not trying to start a flamewar but thats to me is alot of crap. I mean ya pushed the graphic's on your system and thats awesome and all...but..idk...Im tired. Minus that tho, he gave a good adult response.

Microsoft better using profit they get from Halo series to make new games rather than complaining about other compnaies that done better then them (in term of quality).

That was just one freaking Twitter comment and Sony plus their fanboys are going crazy. Sony Defense Force is fighting these days.


Of course you out of all people would say something like that.

It's quite immature and fanboyish to go prance around having better sales than another company, Sony's response was mature enough not to reply with "well, we beat you here, here and here."

Greenburg has a tracking record of running his mouth.

They are running a business and they do care about sales. They might claim something different in their statements, but they are running a business after all.

This was not even an official statement. It was a Tweet by one single guy. Nothing official. But they felt the need to respond to an unofficial tweet. Is this mature?

And claiming PR guys are fanboys is  stupid anyway.

Sony, or in this case Ray Maguire, simply answered the question which the interviewer asked, that's all. He didn't just answer an unofficial tweet. So it's immature answering questions? I see...

And although it was only a tweet by Greenburg, THIS was actually stupid/immature, not the response by Sony.

It's not the 'sony' defense force that I see 'fighting' these days ;)

buahahahah, good one

 

it would be interesting to see a list of Greenberg quotes over the last years, to see how much he needs to twist his "news" nowadays to  say something negative about his competitors.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

sony is being very mature right now, they have all my respect:):)

on topic: greenburg - GT series outsold halo and sales does not always equal quality, so no harm done



it's the future of handheld

Well, they don't exactly have the cleanest hands in the world either, but they have improved dramatically. When David Reeves left (former Head of SCEE), I noticed a very different Sony.


I know SONY aren't that good either

but AARON GREENBERG nor MS always goes way too far in bullshiting

yeah sony it's cocky, but they have the balls to show :p.

microsoft have long way to go to be as good engineers. it took 3 consoles to sony get there.
