Forums - Sony - Another Sony PR disaster in the making?

Now that I really think about it...this Three Speech thing does annoy me quite a bit. The way Sony is trying to defeat Microsoft is just bizarre...it's like they don't care about image anymore, they'll just start slandering away...



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Who ever said the PS Eye would be a bigger success than the Wiimote? And who says Sony is even trying for that? The Eye and the Eyetoy are a peripheral device not the core of the console as the Wiimote is.

Eye could eventually do better than the Eyetoy (Which did decent) if they do more stuff than just casual games on it (Eye of Judgment isn't a casual game hence it interests me for example, but stuff on Eyetoy that I have seen have all been casual stuff).



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

A few points:

1. Podcasts suck.
2. The ThreeSpeech podcast is particularly terrible. Ugh.

 Dunno about the second part. The first part, check 1upyours, the best gaming podcast ever created by man and quite enjoyable.

I honestly didn't think this was a big deal until Penny Arcade started making fun of it. Their audience is quite large, and their comments rather scathing. It's a bit like the 360 Red Ring issues: at first it was just a few nerds on a forum complaining, but it went mainstream with a few magazines, and then it was bigger. I'm sure there are Nintendo examples as well, I just can't think of one at the moment. At least not one from the current generation.
So you are comparing this minor thing with a Sony affiliated podcast making a mistake to the Red Ring issue of MS???? Right...

Not even in the same ballpark.

 You didn't understand my analogy. Both the 360 failure rates and this blog were non-factors to start with: both were simlpy things that a few hardcore fans talked/complained about on message boards deep within the bowels of the internet. Not a big deal. Then, both phenomena found a more widespread audience. I absolutely agree that the 360 failure rates are a bigger deal. 

If I said that a Bike was like a Car in that they both can transport you to a specific location, would you state: "No you're wrong. A bike only has two wheels, while a Car has 4. Also, cars can go much faster. Not even in the same ballpark." What you've done is twist an analogy in a way that wasn't intended.

For the Eyetoy/Card game that comes with it, sounds like there are ccg factors. Starting Deck of 30, all starting decks identical, boosters of 8 random cards, 110 total. At least the number is small.



See Ya George.

"He did not die - He passed Away"

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

A system failure is not a non factor, some guy saying something on a podcast is definitely one.

But I understand the analogy, just saying one is a massive problem, the other is almost a non-issue even if everyone learned about it in the whole world it's not much of anything...

We certainly agree that one is a bigger problem than the other, and we seem to agree that my analogy is valid. Let's just leave it at that, since we seem to be having a rather silly argument about how much more bigness the bigger problem has.

Again: my analogy did not imply that the the Bicycle goes as fast as the Car, only that both are means of transportation. Insisting that the Car goes way, way faster than the Bike really doesn't effect the essential analogy. I totally agree that a Bike goes much slower than a Car, and I totally agree that the 360 failure rates are a much bigger deal than this blog.
