Microsoft have this year been really good on PR.

They have commeneded Sony all year. Even after their launch. And hes right. The online hate is really bad now. It was much better when in the Nes and Snes days you had to do it face to face as there were no online and no mods. These days Id love to meet the people who swear and moan online at you. They wouldn't do it then would they.

Anyways. Im staying out of any thread which says Sony in it. I have no interest in them or talking about them. So that way I wont ever comment on anything remotely Sony.

Even defending Microsoft from the fans.


Well we are only 18 days into this year xD 17 for some in different parts of the world.

Sadly, I agree with him. As much as people hate the whole online thing. It is clearly the future. Only thing is they are trying to take giant leaps instead of taking baby steps...then again giant leaps are sometimes necessary.

Love it or hate it folks. Online is the cloud.Just like Sony's playstation Now.


Wait. If people hate something then how can it be the future?

Oh how lovely.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

if only he was that vocal in 2007

I seem to remember Sony being much more arrogant and feeding into the console warfare thing back then more than anyone else, while M$ and Nintendo were the ones pointing at sales figures to do their smack talking.

I could be wrong, but I don't ever remember seeing one article or comment from Sony praising either M$'s or Nintendo's success last gen... in fact I seem to remember Sony hurling out petty insults like this...

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I remember an E3 where MS said "We can confidently state that the PS3 will never catch up to the 360."

Wow!  The funny thing is he is completily incorrect in his technical claims.  He says the 360's GPU is stroger than the PS3's at "Computations."  AMD GPU's (360) have always had more processing power than Nvidia's (PS3), but Nvidia's are always more optimized for gaming.  

Then he goes on to say that the 360's CPU is stronger because even though it is computationally weaker, it is better for gaming!!!! F@CK!

Which one is it?!  Do you read your own hypocratic posts?!

That blog post sounds an awful lot like the PS4's talking points of today, like how much better the PS4 is compared to the X1 because RAM!

Just came back from GS and I asked the dude at the register if they had the PS4 in stock and he was like nope. Then I asked about the X1 and after smiling his response was: Well, that one isn't hard to find... Would you like to buy one? I just walked away and left.

Well he's not wrong, but I think Nintendo is the one who's suffering the worst from online hate. At least for now.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Wonder if he would be saying the same thing if the Xbone was 1m above the PS4.


Nope.
