Bloodmask6149d ago (Edited 6149d ago )

with Peter Moore. He always seems cool calm and collected.

And he is correct Sony critisized Micro about 3 Skus, and then turned around and did the exact same thing.

Sangheili856149d ago

I agree. He always seem professional.

sony fan6149d ago (Edited 6149d ago )

we said the Wii was a gimmick then rushed to put half ars tilt crap in our controller once we saw the wii. Then we said rumble was last gen, Now we are all jumping up and down it is coming back, and of course we would not pass on a chance to dump on MS for 3 skus then do it ourselves too. Hey we are sony, just a bunch of wannabes and copy cats, but we will say it is an innovation and our ignorant fans will be more than happy to agree and spread our word like we came up with idea, go sony.

ericbs6149d ago

How do people disagree with you? Can any of you show me examples of where he wasn't very calm? Or did you disagree cause he made sony look bad?

dantesparda6149d ago (Edited 6149d ago )

Right at the beginning of the video Peter Moore asks, "what price drop, its still $500", is he stupid or something? Come'on Peter Moore, stop bullsh!tting us, so you're telling me that going from $600 for that SKU to $500 is not a price drop? so am i stupid or something and just cant do math? cuz my math tells me, that's a $100 difference. And then he asks "what are they gonna do with it" talking about the extra storage on the new SKU's HDD. Well then Mr. Peter Moore, i will ask you the same question, "what are you gonna do with the extra storage on the Elite's HDD?" as he knows that Sony is also gonna come out with this downloadable movie sh!t too. So why even ask the question when he alreay knows the answer? its all just bullsh!t, bullsh!t designed to fool you. You's wanna talk about FUD. This is ridiculous! is this video gaming or fvcking politics? because it's starting to get just as bullsh!t as politics is, with all the lies, and deceit, and spin. It dispicable, but then again, what am I saying, corporations have always sounded just like politicians, after all they are all cut from the same cloth.

And this sh!t about Sony only selling the 60GB PS3 for limited time and then just sticking with the new $600 80GB SKU is just fvcking stupid on their part. Completely and utterly stupid. I swear i have never seen a company make more mistakes then this Sony does. Jesus! and you wonder why you are geting your ass kicked. How do these idiots end up running these companies anyways?

microsoft and sony stick with one sku. i think its better that way 4 the consumer.

Salvadore6149d ago

MS/Sony should focus on making one sku which can both be accessible to hardcore gamers and casual gamer. If they plan on making different sku's they should emphasize that the different models have the same hardware.

uxo226149d ago

Why not have multiple SKUs if it means more people would be able to purchase the item. More SKUs mean more choices, more choices means more customers. How would people feel if car dealers only sold the fully loaded version of all of their cars. Or stereo equipment makers only sold the top of the line stereos.

I'll tell you what would happen, the prices would be too high and people would be reluctant to purchase it. Kinda like the PS3, don't get me wrong, it's a great machine, but some people can't afford, therefore the either get a 360 or the even more inexpensive Wii. It's simple economics.

Sony, stop using multiple SKUs an excuse, it's not that the general public had a problem with two SKUs, they had a problem with the price point. Sony came up with the SKU problem all on their own.

ReconHope6149d ago

i get what your saying but dont u think the 60 gig price cut but then the 80gb still for the same price, is a bit much?

uxo226148d ago

I think what sony should have done was permanently reduce the price of the 60 version to 499.00 and perhaps released to new higher capacity sku with a 160-250 gig HD in it since they are claiming it to be more for downloadable content. Because when you're talking downloading HD movies, the 20 gig difference would be eaten up most quickly. IMO

OR they could have also done something cool like release the 80 gig version with two rumble pack sixaxes controllers for 599.00

JIN KAZAMA6149d ago

All Sony is doing is releasing a bigger harddrive fools. Thats to be expected.
MS on the other hand, said, no need for HDMI, and then turn around and bring out the Elite.

uxo226148d ago

Microsoft stated that they will release HDMI when they felt that the market called for it. If you're gonna comment on what someone said at least try not to slant their words.

cdzie16149d ago

Hey. both companies have been doing a lot of talking, espically Sony! This is a fun fight to watch and we all play a part in who's right by voting with our money!

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow4d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1823d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie3d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere2d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 19h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno3d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno3d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
