yes indeed, Sony never said new games but said enhanced and optimized games for PS4 PRO.

I also did read an article some where that proves also that MS is wrong again. PS3 has the biggest ever launch with BC to PS1 and PS2 games library...

They also keep telling that 120+ enhanced games fairytale, when it’s just 50 at launch and their list includes upcoming next year’s titles. Meanwhile PS4Pro offers 225 titles today!

Mislead people keep spreading their fake news on the net, just like they did the “42 exclusives” talk from E3, when in reality only 5 of those were true Microsoft exclusives. Don’t let me start about “The Cloud”...

when you have only one 97 metascore game on your system it's useless btw no matter how many games available at the launch for both pro and x

Ha! I've seen quite a few posts from this account and all of them I've seen have mentioned the 97 meta. He's probably an alt account or something but....

Can we keep him?

Ms marketing has been a car crash this generation. No surprise to see they are still falling over themselves.

Ok - I don’t think any of the articles are misleading. And I guess the official PS blog is official marketing, but unless it’s a major advertising campaign I don’t think that MS should reference it.

As long as MS is clear that the games are “enhanced versions of existing XBox games”, there isn’t a problem. Sony basically markets the Pro as the “high end model if you have a 4K TV”. There’s only confusion if (1) marketing is targeted at people who aren’t carefully following the industry and (2) there is an implication that you must get the more expensive Xbox to play the games.

In any case - congrats to the Xbox marketing departments. They just got me to read something I wouldn’t have otherwise...

"Most Launch Titles Ever for a Console” is apparently the same spin as "40+ Games Enhanced for PS4 Pro Launch"

@MS if Sony jumped off a cliff would you do it too?

Only if MS thought Sony did it, but they actually didn’t.

It is absolutely mind boggling how shady the marketing from MS has become. What blows the mind more is that this is one of the wealthiest companies in the world too, they should be far and above many of the statements we see from them. Makes it a lot easier to not support them or their products to be truthful... That and the atrocity that is W10.
