Arrogant means that because they still have strong demand they think they are untouchable.  This is a fallacy.  Saying the PS4 has not changed implies that the console is not advancing and Sony is not trying to stay a step ahead of the competition.  We have a long way to go before either console is declared as a winner.  

It does not matter what the market is today.  Both consoles will be on the market for a long time and values shift between consumers all the time.

These type of schoolboy tweets sound exactly that.  Its not well thought out and and a knee jerk reaction that might not get the response the person intended.  Think about it, as a gamer do you really care if the PS4 is the same since launch if you were on the fence for a purchase.  

Define "winner".

I was talking about the sales to date, which is (mostly) available for everyone to see. I could not care less willy waving about silly console wars and who is "winning" the 'fight'.

Yes the tweet is a trollish and juvenille, but why do you care? Little sly jabs from one mega corporation to another isn't anything to get worked up over.

Actually as far as caring about what tweets Sony or MS make I do not.  I am pointing out that as a business such schoolyard tweets can backfire because what the person intended could be construed totally different.  As a business, Sony, MS nor Nintendo want to drop down to the level of troll console war type of post.  Its always best to stay classy then come off the wrong way.  The good thing about tweets is that you can communicate with customers faster.  The bad thing about tweets is that you can communicate with customers faster so when you do something you want to take back the damage is already done.

The PS4 needs to step up now with the games. You don't have the price advantage on your side anymore.

E3 in a few weeks  . Just sayin'.


Yeah, I know. Sony needs to have a good showing. If the Xbox conference turns out to be significantly better it could be bad news for Sony.

Now that is a megaton. I think it was the right move my MS. I can see the Xbox one over taking the PS4 soon with this move, so let's see what Sony will do now. Now, things get interesting :D

Also, lol to the people defending that forced Kinect. WHERE IS YOU GOD NOW?!

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

No, I do not see why any early adopter would be pissed.  Its the reason you are a early adopter.  For people that purchased a X1, with the knowledge that sales were not that great, why would you be pissed.  If you did not have the patience to wait then the only only person to be pissed at is yourself.

Reason I have not bought a X1 or PS4 is because I can easily wait.  Nothing screams purchase me now from any of those consoles.  I personally will wait until Christmas when the deals come out because neither system has anything coming until that time which would make me drop 400-500 bones for the pleasure of a incomplete system.

So people complain about Kinect being included for a whole year and then they remove and now people complain MS is giving up on Kinect? Their truly is no pleasing some of you guys. MS could give the Xbox One away for free and people would find something to complain about.


It probably isnt the same people Noble. Not everybody wanted MS to remove Kinect. There was a fair amount of people who thought Kinect was a key part of MS's strategy.

I can gurantee that there is quite a few hypocrites who just changed up their story. I know not everyone thought that way. ^_^
