Forums - Sales - Has Sony Won The Crown Of Worst PR Company In The History Of Videogames?

Zezlar on 11 June 2009

I seriously would rather pay a premium price for something that doesn't break.

That's why I held off too buy my 360 until the fail rate got considerably lower.

I don't mean to be mean, but if a mod is reading this... close this thread. Bladeforce starts this thread with and open-ended question and with no evidence supporting his reasoning for the question he presents. Why must the members of Vgchartz be lead by a troll who must likely is a Microsoft fanboy to start another stupid argument on the PlayStation brand?

TBH, I think that there was a guy at Nintendo who may have done better before Iwatas time.

It's ceraintly close... 

"The first five million will sell without any games comment" trumps the N64 guy's best I think though.

^ At least they don't build everything they make to fail and break. You all know what company that is. Especially selling a console that wasn't entirely ready to be on the market.

Jack Tretton is a pretty cool guy, he looks like John Heard. Heard is older now though.

I would of guessed Sony...  There products are built to fail just after their warranties.

Additionally PS2?  I mean... Sony actually lost a class action lawsuit on that one.

If you find it racist than you yourself are racist.. racism is what people make it out to be


Actually, racism is mostly found in the subconscious. People who are outwardly racist know they are racist. Most racists aren't really aware of it.

Microsoft didn't make the system to fail and break. They rushed it so the system could be out the door a year ahead of Sony. Microsoft accomplished most of their goals this gen. The new Xbox 360's are for the most part fine. I agree that Tretton seems pretty cool. He reminds me of my neighbors dad.

Well everyone is racist.  Somewhat.  Or to put it better are predjudiced based on race in some small way.  The difference is if it applies itself in any change in behavior, like putting your hands in your pockets when a black person goes by or immediatly go to an asian guy if you need help with a math problem or something.

trolling like always you are the worst fanboy ever. get a life.

XD thats completely contradictory. The worst fanboy ever wouldn't troll, and would have a life, also, would have one of every system, and play and enjoy them all equally.
