they all seem to be getting too arrogant for their own good.


how is that good? Nothing good can come out of being arrogant.

That's what he's saying, "too 'x' for their own good" is an expression meaning that a particular trait can lead lead to their downfall. That's usually what I've seen it used for at least.

Yep that is what I mean. It is a common phrase here.

perhaps this is an Aussie way of saying bad?

Microsoft is on the defensive.

February 20th can't come soon enough! I'm guess Usher is still on tour so Microsoft will have to wait a few more months to reveal Xbox 720 Kinect 2.

It's only a reflection of Microsoft feeling frustrated and feeling the heat of Sony unexpectedly opening the gates of next-gen. Microsoft probably expected they would be the ones doing that and getting all the attention that comes with being first, but now Sony has robbed them of all the hype that we've been witnessing surrounding the PlayStation Meeting.


Actually it is standard marketing. The person who goes last will stay will the consumer.

The only reason Sony is going first is because their company is falling apart and investors are running away. They need to give anyone a reason to come back and pay attention to them.

they did troll. but they didnt talk nonsense, and it was just a couple ads for the event. they didnt go out and say they are the best entertainment console, point out netflix. when netflix them selfs said there best platform was ps3. all company PR's troll, heck remember when reggie said that third party games run "dramatically better" on the WiiU?. but if a company wants to troll, atleast make it funny

There's a difference between trolling and being an idiot.
