Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft's Greenberg: 'PS3 Business' Is 'Hemorrhaging At Retail'

heruamon on 20 March 2009

BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

The shots continue to be fired in the constant war of words, and this one has to be pretty sweet for the loud-mouth Greenberg.  Sony was just making statements about how Killzone 2 was going to steal away 360 owners, and then NPD throws some REALLY cold water on that idea...so of course today's report provided the perfect bully pulpit for Greenberg to counter...

Ouch...but there's no denying it...up 53% vs down 2%...even with Killzone 2!

Yeah their so arrogant, because they don't want to price cut and lose money, that is sooo arrogant let me tell you!  (In the beginning Sony were being very arrogant, but at this stand point, their be considerable and being fair to themselves.  If they were to price cut they would plunder.  Patience is a Virtue!)

Stupid, oh yeah, I mean you can't begin to see how stupid Sony is with Blu Ray selling extremely well.  That reliable hardware their using, so stupid sheesh.  Oh and let me tell you, them receiving a ton of new exclusives, that is complete stupidity right there.

Sony have no idea what their doing at this point, none, zero.

fairplay x360 is outselling the ps3 by a margain, but it should be in this climate. I also think that aaron greenberg is an idiot, full of himself, he's worst than sony imo. He says that the ps2 sales are decreasing. Of course there going to decrease it was last-gen! btw heruamon, kz2 was out for 2 days for npd, so its not really going to show (although I don't think it will be a noticeably difference anyway)

1)So being considerable and fair by SONY's standards is to begine talking crap about how 360 owners will migrate to the PS3 due to Killzone 2 with no numbers to back it up???

2) That statement is what has gotten SONY into this trouble. Releasing their console late, havent still released their biggest games, slowly updating PSN, ??? THe only reason they wont cut the price is because they are bleeding money.

3) THe Xbox and Gamecube were much more reliable than the PS2 and look where that got them

 If you read the interview properly, it says that he'll think xbox 360 owners will try out killzone 2 NOT buy an ps3. There's a complete difference.
