Forums - Sony - If Microsoft pay, we'll write another "Sony is Doomed" article

madskillz on 22 January 2009

@ Noslodecoy - yepp. I didn't want to use big words because some folks are a wii bit confused on terms like 'deficit' and 'billion loss.'

There's nothing Sony could sue about. It's public record. If it was false, by the time Sony sues, it would be a mute point anyhow.

Companies will sue over libel/defamation if a paper gets it complete wrong and it can end up resulting in harming their character and/or loss of revenue as a result.

In Sony's case, the bots wants to say 'It's biased media,' just like folks are saying the media was in the tank for Obama. Check it - I voted for him, but think the media should literally jump on his case for not allowing AP, Reuters and other media outlets the chance to allow photogs into the Oval Office. For someone who said they wanted to be transparent, this is a shoddy start.

Lies and misinformation - notice how the PS3bots have all but shut up now? Why? The facts have come to light, so back into their holes and caves - and under bridges they go. Until Sony's official announcement, it was just 'media bias' and 'speculation.' Now that it's official, they have crow they can dine on.

It's a horrible situation, and it's best that folks found this out sooner than be completely caught off-guard.

Or what about Sony's famous "David Manning" critic? A fake critic created by Sony marketing...

How much did Sony have to pay to settle that lawsuit??

@ Dodece

Grow up, I lived in the San Francisco, California, many "Americans" feel just the same.

I am not really nationalistic neither (call me European) or racist neither, my wife's Iranian and I worked in Austria for a long time and I liked living there better than back here in the Netherlands. 80% of my personal friends aren't even Dutch (some of my friends here in Holland are American, they work here as chiropractors)!

Wow, just wow....

 

Give me a break. You're talking about how Americas felt the media reported the Iraq war, not the HD console war. The US media doesn't give a shit about the videogame industry outside of the money it generates. There is no white house of gaming saying "hey, write articles bashing the PS3 and we might help you out". The media reporting negatively on the PS3 and Sony are the media reporting facts. A console isn't supposed to see YOY declines during the holiday at this stage in its life. And if they are, said company should be doing something to rectify it, instead of being outsold 2 to 1 by it's main competitor and 3 to 1 by the market leader. And if they can't, and that company is about post a $1.7 billion loss with one of their flagship products failing to catch on, that's legitimate (and bad) news to report.

 

 

don't you think you are overreacting now? Who said anything about White House trying to bash PS3. Yes Sony lost money lately, but Microsoft lost 6 billion on Xbox family and 1 billion on RROD and MIcrosoft is letting 6000 employees go, but you didn't see that on Internet media lately, did you? And PS3 sold more in january 2009 than 360 in january 2008. And don't forget 360 is getting massacred in Japan, it can't even sell 1 million and its been out for 3 years ( in japan )

WTF!!! That is some serious spin. Snake can you just go back to playing with your action figures we don't need 13 year olds in this site.
