Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft's Japanese Advertising Calls Playstation 3 Inferior

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this exactly the wrong approach for Japan? I thought boasting and attacking the opposition directly (US style) was a big no-no?

Didn't Apple have to change their 'I'm a Mac' add in the region when they realized that directly attacking PC was doing more harm for their image and sales than good?



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

MS should lie more about the RROD issues being resolved, if they do that I bet they would get more sales in Japan.

well the reason MS gets away with it is obvious. Sony has a lot more work to do in terms of catching up while MS doesn't really. Sony went from first to last which makes their advertising/propaganda seem like desperation. While I don't believe thats necessarily true it does seem like it. Remember MS has gained ground this gen while Sony has lost it.

 

Exactly. MS is trying really hard to make a bigger dent in japan, so I'm suprised they haven't gone for the jugular already. FF13 exclusive would help them out so much more though I get a ______ just thinking about what sony fanbots would be thinking! Hopfully no more suicides though!

Sony and M$ have been going at it tooth and nail since before their consoles came out this gen. To claim Sony is getting shit on by M$ in their adds is a laugh. M$ is doing nothing that Sony hasn't done and vice versa.

Some of you need to get a clue.

Is that really what you care about, upsetting other gamers? WoW, this is exactly the problem.

We are not discussing how badly addictive World of Warcraft is right now, move along.

But yes, I would love to upset the sony fanbots. I wouldn't want to upset those who are just gamers, but company fanboys piss me off, and they deserve what they sow.

do u have any source.? its a news for me.. so just want to verify.. but if it is so, then MS is definitely hitting on their feet. 



Doesn't seem like a smart move at all.



4 ≈ One

The double standard accusations from PS3 fanboys and fan sites is getting old. I mean we've heard near endless news stories about the RROD, constant bashing of practically every Microsoft product and Microsoft itself (just look in the PC forum) and yet we're suppose to believe that everyone is going easy on Microsoft.

The website that posted this nonsense should take a good hard look at themselves, I mean the next story down from this one is them putting down both Microsoft and Nintendo's consoles and calling the PS3 the most innovative product. Please everyone don't help spread their ridiculous crap.



It just marketing no one really pays attention anyways



Long Live SHIO!
