Damn Sony. With all that PR spin, anyone would think they're trying to run a business!

 Dude a new guy asked a question and he's not used to how Sony spins stuff.  Don't get pissy when someone explains their misdirection.

@Sqrl, your post is truly amazing, you get an A+ for making Sony look evil. Do you have a pic for Nintendo PR, maybe a picture of mother teresa, or a saint.

It wasn't my intent to make Sony PR look evil actually. They spin a number of issues on a regular basis and I was just pointing it out is all. They are doing their job and I have a certain amount of respect for that even if that job is to try to trick me =P

Even Nintendo and MS pay people to make you believe things that aren't entirely true. But if you want pictures for them then I would personally say use the same picture, it applies equally well =)

Executives who make deliberately misleading statements to the public should be charged with fraud.

It's Sony spin... They're talking about combined sales of their consoles obviously. Sony is always using smoke and mirrors in the console wars in order to try to create FUD about the Xbox 360 (they don't even try against the Wii because it would be laughable and no matter how they add their numbers of Nintendo is coming out ahead of them). They want people to think the Xbox 360 is selling much less than it is.
