Sony Shows Us Destiny Vita Remote Guide, While Microsoft Promotes Cheap Cologne

Oh how the mighty have fallen, or in the case of Microsoft, stooped so low to promoting Destiny on the Xbox One via a cheap looking cologne bottle. While Sony on the other hand have been showcasing all the awesome weapons, gear and how to guide on enjoying Destiny on the PS Vita.

[Frankskint]

HA-HA - MS the smell of desperation.

[llxKonanxll]

I see what you did there.

Sony Shows Us Destiny Vita Remote Guide, While Microsoft Promotes Cheap Cologne

I know which one I prefer.

[jujubee88]

Not sure what one has to do with the other.

But, anyway, the VITA's remote-play will be outnumbered by Android devices (once remote-play for Xperia .pkg gets untapped and cloned to rootable android devices).

So these things are like pie in the face of both companies, imo.

@darthv72: Relative to what? I was the first comment on that sub and I wrote "slow news day?". I look at the feedback around that and it only affirms the fact that it is (indeed) a slow news day BECAUSE IT TOTALLY IS WHEN THAT IS THE TOPIC OF DEBATE.

[darthv72]

"Sony Shows Us Destiny Vita Remote Guide, While Microsoft Promotes Cheap Cologne"

And which one is getting more buzz on the internet?

[bouzebbal]

smells fishy for MS..
ok i'm out!

[Cryptcuzz]

@jujubee88

That is inevitable with how talented devs on the Android scene are nowadays. Only problem would be is if there is any additional hardware on the Xperia Z3 that allows it to do remote play with the PS4 properly.

Even if they are able to get the remote play from the Z3 over to android devices IMO, it would be a win for Sony, not for MS.

To remote play, you would need a PS4 first right? I can see a lot of people wanting a PS4 once they see videos of people online playing their PS4 games on their smart phones or tablets.

Sure, Sony would lose a few sales on the Z3 front, but, I would think not many would buy a Z3 mainly for that feature anyways. They would be looking at the hardware inside; screen, build quality, water/dust resistant, etc.

So if that happens, it could be an unexpected surprise for Sony.

[ZerobyZero]

You got to love remote play. XD

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Right I wish MS would showcased Destiny on Xbox Vita.

Wait a minute?

[k3rn3ll]

It's funny because the supposed pr backlash is coming from cheap enthusiastic websites and fan boys in the console section. Everyone else knows that it was a joke and that it wasn't a desperate attempt at selling consoles. If it was desperation it wouldn't have just been a website but would have actually been adverts on TV and Internet video, along with banner ads on website. How the mighty have fallen? Gtfo with that fan boy nonsense trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. If they were really salty like these articles imply, they wouldn't have waited until 4 days before launch to do this.

This is another perfect example of fan boys being so wrapped up in their love for a company that they want to take a joke and rip it to shreds because they're but hurt. You know damn well if Sony did something like this you would praise as the smartest move ever. And then rub it in everyone's noses who owns an xbox. Just like you did with the e3 discuss share video, sonys frequent jibes about being in the lead and better, and them being upfront about what is exclusive at gamescom. Even though they took part in the same practices as MS year after year when phrasing "exclusive" until they heard the backlash 9 very MS wording of Tomb Raider. Stop riding that D boys. Your liable to embarrass yourself one day

[Condemnedman]

Yep that massive seller the vita 😜

Lol

[ScottyHoss]

@Cryptcuzz I'm stoked to root my Xperia Z Ultra for that remote play :D biggest HD phone display, fastest processor and 2GB of ram should work wonderfully, maybe even better than vita?

[stuna1]

Ooo la laaa!

I couldn't help it, but on a serious note! Sony and Microsoft right now are headed to their secured bunker that they share....Waiting for the fallout! Nuclear winter is upon us, save what you can.

[Charybdis]

Lol this ps4 site didn't really take kindly to microsoft destiny fragrence. But at least using this trending toppic is a good way to get more attention for the psvita features for destiny.

[Ace_Pheonix]

I think it's funny how everyone says it's a PS4 site. You should have been here 5 years ago. Truth is, the majority voice carries the overall bias I suppose.

[UnwanteDreamz]

Exactly this sites fanbase is just a reflection of whats popular at the moment.

[GearsOfWar]

*sigh*

This site was never Pro MS. I wish people would stop claiming that. It's an outright lie. A lot of Microsoft fans have stopped coming here so much because of how one sided this website is.

When PS3 was launching, it was receiving tons of hate by the mainstream media, much like the X1 has been receiving this time around. This is the key confusion you guys are having.

The difference? The comment section of this particular website basically put their fingers in their ears and yelled "lalalalala" while claiming how superior the PS3 was to Xbox 360. The cell this, RROD that.

There were Xbox diehards, that's true, but they were in the minority. The open zone, and much of the regular zone were filled with trolling comments about how inferior 360 was and that Bluray/Cell were going to change gaming as we know it.

Please, just stop claiming this crap. You look really stupid to the ones who witnessed it first hand. I bet half of you don't even know N4G had 2 zones for comments at one point.

I wasn't a fan of either console back then, but the way some of you guys presented yourselves, you did more harm to the Playstation brand than good in my opinion.

People don't like to see a rabid hateful community when trying to decide which console to buy :/

[SmielmaN]

@gearsofwar
Your lying bud. I've been on this site since the launch of the 360 (which I had) and for a solid 3-4 years after that it was all Sony hate and I mean HATE. then it evened out a bit but was still major 360 town until the last couple years. Now it's just the majority is Sony buyers so it's more Pro-Sony. Don't come on here saying that ppl are spreading lies when it's the truth. The site just follows the sales trends. It used to be MS city. Now it's Sony-centric. Who cares anyways, but don't come here saying ppl are lying about that because they aren't. They are obviously long time followers of the site, like myself.

Personally, it's good to see the turnaround for Sony as you couldn't say anything positive about Sony in my message boards without 10 Xbox guys trying to tear you to shreds. Now it's reversed and good thing as we all saw what MS wanted to do to the gamer, but they didn't count on so many ppl ditching their fabled Friends list and Achievements.

[GearsOfWar]

@SmielmaN

You're mixing up "Mainstream Media hate" with hate from this website.

Xbox fanboys were not in Playstation articles constantly trolling. You'd get maybe one or two people compared to the huge group of fanboys that would post all over Xbox articles.

No amount of spin is going to change what actually happened back then. In fact, a lot of the attitude I have towards Sony fans started back then and its left a lasting impression. Nothing has changed. You guys still go into Xbox articles in droves bashing Xbox and talking up Playstation. For what? I have no idea. It's an electronic device that plays video games.

None of this is Sony's fault. All they do is make great consoles with a ton of value and support. And then their rabid fanboys muddy up the water because they want to shove it in other people's faces. It's sad.

Honestly, I'm really tired of having to repeat all of this only to be called a liar by delusional people. If you honestly can't remember the constant exclusive lists you were shoving in people's faces, the constant bashing of high scoring Xbox games, the insane trolling of RROD, or the mentality that PS3 was a perfect console and 360 was flawed in every single way (even online, which is laughable you guys even claimed that, and this was before PS+), then I really don't know what else to tell you.

Perhaps you should take a stroll down memory lane at some older Xbox articles and then compare them with Playstation articles.

[tgunzz]

Hahahaha! That is a clever tactic.

[lelo2play]

LOL... Sony fanboys are really pissed about Microsoft's ad. You guys need to relax.

How the world has changed. Sony heavily promoting a 3rd party game to sell their console.

[CervantesPR]

whos pissed? sony fans are laughing at microsofts desperation LOL

[Xsilver]

10 million PS4's sold lmao destiny was never need to sell Ps4's they just sell.

[S2Killinit]

Im actually enjoyingit. Its good to see them reduced to "Me 2" advertising.

Whats sad for xbdone fans though? That money could go toward making a game for them(or in MS's case, buying a 3rd party)

[UnwanteDreamz]

I agree whats to be mad about? MS waving their hands screaming "me too"

[HanzoHattori]

Sony didn't need help from Destiny to reach 10 million sold...

Just ask the guys, they'll tell ya...

http://i.imgur.com/ggWuvaj....

http://www.mundogamers.com/...

5 million isn't so bad, except no one knows exactly how many Xbox Ones are actually being connected to Xbox Live and how many are still sitting on store shelves...

http://heavyeditorial.files...

[MysticStrummer]

"Sony fanboys are really pissed about Microsoft's ad."

I thought it was funny. MS is truly desperate.

[reko]

@lelo2play

i can tell that youre pissed! LOL

[k3rn3ll]

@S2Killinit wait you think this cost money? For a photo - shopped picture on a site they already own? Man your really trying to hype this up into something it's not. Yea were 4 days before launch. If this was desperation they would've done it before every person and their mother preordered this. They know it's not going 5 sell consol3s. If that's what they were trying to do with this it wouldn't have been just a link posted on twitter. They would've done an actual ad campaign for it. That's why they put it out now. Because it wouldn't be misconstrued by Sony as an attempt to back door on the ad contract sony bought. Can all you all stop talking please? Your breathe smells too much like sonys ass

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

@lelo2play

Play remote have don't one xbox that mad you are hmm?

[TheRedButterfly]

The only thing desperate about this is the spin this article is trying to put on a clearly-successful PR stunt.

[Spotie]

Successful like their DRM fiasco? Successful like the backlash over Tomb Raider?

Getting people to talk is irrelevant if it doesn't get people to take action. And guess what?

Nobody is going to get the XB1/Destiny because of this ad.

So, really, what purpose did it serve?

[k3rn3ll]

I know alot of people I talk with at work really do think Destiny Is an exclusive. The "casual gamer" sector.

The DRM controversy? You mean when Sony backed out of the industry wide DRM that was going to be implemented this year? With only a couple hours to spare thanks to having their conference the day after MS.

The Tomb Raider controversy? When Sony was clear what was 100% exclusive and what wasn't during their Gamescom conference? And everyone praised them as being so much more open than MS? Even though every announcement they have made since they got into the business was worded the same way as MS. Once again capitalizing from being able to change their conference once they had heard the backlash over MS just a couple hours beforehand.

But yea MS does 180s because they are a bad company that has no idea what their audience wants.

Sony is the king of 180s at the moments. Why? Because fan boys are continuing to rag on every move MS makes. And Sony can come out and say "see what we just did, we are for the gamers!" When the truth is they are able to switch so fast they can make it seem that way. And everyone just eats it up, and bangs on their desks in enjoyment because they think Sony cares about them so much more than MS. Please.

The only people who are either pissed off or calling out desperation are either sensationalist glorified blog writers, and Sony diehards who get off on talking as much shit as possible about MS. Why? Because they want to feel important.

[realplu]

@darthv72 So Sony is speaking to gamers who have purchased a PS4, Vita and Destiny and M$ is winning the internet with an ad about cologne. I think Sony won.

[BallsEye]

Well I rather use the fragrance and have a night out when I'm not by my stationary console than go out just to play destiny on a small screen with 1 second delay...i mean wtf he's playing a pvp match with that kind of latency? look 1:19...

[DigitalRaptor]

Your comment is about as salty as Microsoft's behaviour here.

Thing is BallsEye, the fragrance isn't real and Vita's remote play is real.

[memots]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media...

[Roman3mPiRe86]

Bro that picture is epic!

[SmielmaN]

Lmao. That pic should be the one for the next Xbox cologne flame article. It's perfect! Xbox... Eau du Desperation... MS reeks of it

[Fatal-Aim]

ok, let get this straight.... the studio that MS USED to own made one of the most notorious, exclusive shooters of its time on the platform, which made the console popular. the studio leaves MS and goes multiplatform with another shooter.

fast forward and MS find themselves continuously falling behind their most formidable competitor, and to make matters worse, their talented, life saving studio that they no longer own has given their formidable competitor EXCLUSIVE MAPS from their master piece.

a battered MS find themselves competing not only with their formidable competitor but also their baby Bungie.

the depressing side of this story is MS's desperate cry out for it's used to be fans with a change of heart for help as their baby Bungie has abandon them.

[jcnba28]

Desperation for having an inexpensive advertisement? Please take off your fanboy goggles.

[Fatal-Aim]

@ jcnba28

No, because they are already being beaten badly by the popular guy, and they need a way to have the people cheering for the popular guy to also notice them. its kinda like being at a concert with a celebrity and u at the entrance trying desperately to sell a CD u made.

Now, if they were so confindent in themselves like you seem to propose, they would have had a better ansewer to combating this ip rather than a 'hey! look at me too' ad for the very same game. The fact that they have targeted THIS GAME shows that they are terrified of their leading competitor stripping the market completely from their hands with this title. notice when sony or nintendo, they will combat the ip with one of their own - either equal or of greater value. MS obviously lacks in house talent to this degree, and so they have to rely on everyone else.
since Bungie was their talent, who are no longer now, they have become desperate for a competitive IP. Hence the desperate ad.

[HanzoHattori]

Instead of acting like Justin Beiber, (crying and trolling when something doesn't go your way) why doesn't Microsoft create something that people actually want to cheer about and pay attention to?

Here's an example of "creating something" that people will pay attention to:

Sony is going to make remote play work with smart devices, not just the Vita. Can you imagine people playing Destiny and DriveClub on a smart phone? How sweet is that?

[gamer7804]

Its because sony purchased exclusive advertising rights... likems did with call of duty

[ScottyHoss]

Activision getting DP'd :D

[poor_cus_of_games]

Yup

http://rs1img.memecdn.com/d...

[kenshiro100]

...-snorts a laugh-

[alvinmiller92]

this was such a cheeky ploy to get people to buy destiny on Xbox one. No thanks I am sticking with the only and best console to play Destiny next week.

[NatureOfLogic_]

Destiny fragrance is MS's way of saying "please buy our inferior version". No thanks.

[gamerfan0909]

What's inferior about it? The screenshots release doesn't show any leap graphically between the two.

[badz149]

the ability to remote play ALL PS4 games on the Vita automatically make PS4 versions of ALL GAMES better than the Xbone's version IMO!

[JeffGUNZ]

@ Bad

I'm afraid that makes zero sense at all. All that is doing is leading to remote playing. It's remote playing, how does that make the game itself better?

What is wrong with this site?

[N4Flamers]

Sony has the timed exclusive content for destiny and that exclusivity lasts for a year. That makes the sony version superior to Microsofts. Late next year they can both be equal. Even though destiny looks better on current gen I feel the game was held back by last gen from a design standpoint.

[omi25p]

Thanks best console ever? Don't know about you but my "best console" hasn't been turned on for month. But I play the "xbone" Every day

[the_dark_one]

thats a choice you chose to take. just cause you dont turn yours on doesnt mean others do same. and there are provably more ps4 turned on right now them xbox one sold

[tlougotg]

I play my ps4 every single day for hours lol I play TLOU remastered, Dont Starve, Killzone, Resogun, best version of bf4 and few other games.

Didnt buy xbone bcus im not going to give my money to the company that is most anti consumer and straight makes a business of lying and bshitting continuously. They all bs but damn microsoft just goes crazy with the lies. Sorry dude im not a cheap %hore that can easily be won over by a 180 and promises, my head is not stuck in the "clouds"

[Revengeance]

I play PS4 every day. So glad I bought it over the Xbone. It has more games and BETTER ones at that. Xbone is also losing exclusives which means less reasons to buy the console. But you never see that on a PS console.

I can smell the fear coming from the Xboners. Maybe you should buy that cheap cologne MS is advertising.

[Why o why]

Thats some mighty fine d riding there omi.

Seems like you've missed that memo regarding MS not giving two s###s about you rich, super fast internet owners.....see the thing was there just wasn't enough of you when the pre orders tallied up therefore you are NOT who they're trying to appease. You riding them so hard is pure irony..... talk about Stockholm syndrome. You defend something they know was one of the biggest co#k ups in gaming history.......lmao. if they listened to guys like you their console would be doing worse than it is already.

In regards to ms's destiny advertising...... its just their way and it has served them well. Ms cannot be complacent. They need any and every leg up they can gain. This is business. They shouldn't be faulted for that.

[SonyAddict]

Well I have it the opposite way so my inferior console hasn't been on in 4 months lol..

[DigitalRaptor]

It's official. Xbox fanboys no longer have any pride left to lose. Spreading lies and getting mad because of facts.

No bank account details were stolen. It was personal information that you can find in phone books and social networks. Not the best, but acting like a mega-corp like Sony wouldn't encrypt their customer's FINANCIAL data is beyond stupid.

Your response here is about as desperate as Microsoft's behaviour over the past year and a half. You're perfect for each other.

[DigitalRaptor]

Double post

;_;

[brotherlymoses]

Yes, ps4 is the best place to play destiny. 1080p 60fps....... Oh wait

[EdnaJones97]

They had to do this because they aren't allowed to legally promote Destiny. Since Sony placed an exclusive contract with activation for the game.

[nX]

They didn't HAVE to do this though.

[mrpsychoticstalker]

I take the cologne

[SouthClaw]

Moron they cannot ADVERTISE the game so what do you want them to do? Put up a piece of paper just saying Destiney? Or Detinie?

At least they are thinking outside of the box.

[TheRacingX]

You're right ...they didnt HAVE to but they did and its genius, all the fanboys come out of the woodwork making flamebait articles .....like this one....and get everybody talking about it, thats all they want....to get you to talk about Destiny on the Xbox One....and that is how you take the illusion of exclusivity out of the mix....

[charliewong980]

Microsoft sucks, this is tactic is yet more proof to their company.

[Silly gameAr]

It is sleazy, but so many people are giving MS props for doing this. It's weird.

[SouthClaw]

Because it is a smart move? They cannot advertise the game so it is a great way to get the games name out there and get people talking without showing it.

Enjoy your lies from Sony. How many maintenance updates you had on PS4 since launch?

[qwerty676]

brought to you by "ps4.sx"

[patelsanjeed]

the bottle does look quite cheap honestly, they couldn't use some artistic looking futuristic style cologne bottle? I'd be a little interested if they had at least done that.

[henrythomas284]

this is hilarious. It reminds me of the types of old bottle i see on my granddads table. Sums up MS right there. Old and corny.

[Killzoner99]

Ha ha ha. Good one man. You made me spit my cereal on my screen. Microsoft is way behind the times.

[AutoCad]

You do realize its not actual fragrance right?
Its a fake ad to promote the game.

[ginalee554]

Funny cause I think a lot of people are actually thinking it real.

[lisamorgan4]

Moving beyond MS, to what the article is actually about. I thinks its great to see, how Destiny looks on the Vita.

[CYCLEGAMER]

LOL...I was scrolling down to find someone who was actually talking about what was in the article and I found gold.

I agree the vita feature is awesome, it really looks cool and has most of the neccessary buttons.

[Sm00thNinja]

I think the sad pathetic ones here are you Sony fanboys promoting Microsoft inadvertently

[danniellelewis]

Destiny on Xbox one, eeew no thanks i can smell the limitations from here compared to the PS4

[Death]

Awesome.

Give one example.

(I'll start off, 1. Exclusive content.)

[dragon82]

2.Remote Play (Which is what the article is actually about). :P

[Death]

I'm not sure I would say lack of remote play is a limitation for the game. Excellent answer though. Anyone have a #3?

[Hyper_Tension140]

Probably a more stable framerate?

[MRMagoo123]

Awwww where you hoping there wasn't gonna be any reasons as to why the ps4 version is better? How about more ppl online there is more than twice the amount of ps4 owners compared to the xbone? Pretty much guaranteed better frame rates even if slightly better and probably better graphics in lighting and textures also even if slightly better.

Also probably a more stable game if the beta is something to go by, ps4 was pretty much perfect network wise but the Xbox live crashed from it.

[DigitalRaptor]

So let's compile all those examples then.

1. Exclusive content
2. Extra option to Remote Play
3. More players online, better community

So.. That's a better version in at least 3 ways. No wriggling out of that one.

[danny818]

wow... That's pretty mean. Ya'll need to play games instead of bashing a company for cologne and a dying handheld.

[MCTJim]

another article yet again..I see this was pushed through in about 3 mins..lemme go look to see how many more there are..wow 3 in queue for approval...hurry up and go approve them that will teach MS a lesson /s

[TWB]

Hmm, I smell fanboy anger and insecurity from the article tittle.

[brettjones494]

The sad truth here is if Sony had thought of this idea, i bet all these fanboys would be lapping it up and saying bravo great idea sony, so epic, so innovative SMH.

[gootimes]

Probably, seeing as how Micro were the ones who started the ridiculous exclusive marketing crap in the first place. I would love to see Sony do something like this, but it is a bad look from Micro to act like victims here.

[JeffGUNZ]

@ Gootimes

Where did MS ever act the victim? Matter of fact, where did MS even mention the PS4 or the fact they are not allowed to advertise the game contractually? It's a good humor add to find a loop hole to say; "hey, Destiny is coming to Xbox". Simple as that. So many people on here are taking this so serious. Chuckle and move on. It's not like it's going to turn sales in X1 division, it's a funny ad.

Remember when the dude from Sony mocked Xbox Kinect with the whole "pew pew pew" thing? Blatant mocking and the same people who are complaining this is immature and desperate are the same ones who preached that video as the gospel. Yet, in this article, MS didn't even mention the PS4 or attack the exclusive deal.

Relax people, it's an add to make you chuckle.

[gootimes]

^
Yes, both micro and Sony take jabs once in a while, but Micro seems to have a more cut throat method for doing actual business. And now that Sony has exclusive advertising they say things like "You can smell something was up" or something like that. It is playing the victim, it is not due to people needing to lighten up or take a joke, it is them trying to make it seem like Sony did something wrong, but it is the same thing they have been doing!

[ifistbrowni]

well, microsoft had done this multiple times with 3rd party games (using their platform as lead advertising... Call of Duty for example)..

Through all these years, i have never seen Sony mock up an ad like the cologne. This might be the first game I've seen Sony actually get a "lock" on advertising rights and Microsoft re-acts with this cologne ad campaign. To me, Microsoft just seems childish.. But, I'm not complaining about the ad, I'm just pointing out that the argument "If Sony did it, it would be a whole different story" is Mute because history shows that Sony would never do anything like this.

I have no Bias in the situation though. I have, and support, both consoles. To me, arguing about which console is better is just stupid. I like games, so i play them. It seems some people get more enjoyment out of arguing over games/consoles on the internet than the enjoyment they receive from playing the game/console.

[amyortega131]

I liked the idea, thought it was a cool way to bring attention to Destiny on Xbox one, I have been seeing so many only on PS4 trailers, i almost foot its coming out on Xbox One too.

[gangsta_red]

What else can MS do when Sony money hatted and bought up all the advertising rights for Destiny.

[edwardhuff663]

Aw boo hop poor multibillion dollar worth stingy MS, having to use a cheap cologne bottle as their only way to get people to buy destiny on their console.

Sony Destiny Marketing =Win

Microsoft Destiny Marketing =Fail

[gootimes]

Micro bitter that Sony is playing their game... Kinda funny.

[Jubez187]

TBH I don't think I've ever seen a multiplatform game advertised on PS4. MS eats that stuff up.

[slate91]

This is hilarious. This whole topic of the cologne further confirms the bias and desperation of fanboys out to bash MS on every move. First tomb raider, now this, and what is next? MS gets exclusive content with kingdom hearts 3?!!?! "Boooo Hissss!!! In bed with M$! All M$ do is throw money around!!"

If this site didn't allow me to stay ahead of the curb with gaming news, I would've been done a long long time ago. Pathetic community.

[TheRedButterfly]

"If this site didn't allow me to stay ahead of the curb with gaming news, I would've been done a long long time ago."

That's literally the only reason I'm here. Gotta sift through the shit to try and find the one worth-while nugget of news. That nugget rarely comes. - _ -

OT: The amount of salt that was put into the title is astounding.

[RadApples]

Yeah coming here is kinda like hunting for shrooms.

[corroios]

Like Microsoft does year after year with COD...

[GiantEnemyCrab]

They don't allow Sony to advertise COD? That's funny because I see plenty of ad's. They may work out an exclusive content deal but I have never seen them block Sony from being able to talk about a game that is coming out the same day. New low here.

[JeffGUNZ]

Exactly. Crab is right. MS advertises the game, meaning they are funding the commerical and that is why you see "available on xbox". I have seen many COD trailers on TV over the years where it showed "coming to PC/360/ps3". I don't know where anyone is getting the idea that the ADVERTISING aspect of COD is exclusive.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

Cheap $1 stink cologne http://www.thefrisky.com/wp...

Good to see Sony isn't paying MS attention. Sony have more class. Focus on the task at hand. MS can be childish the whole gen while Sony keep selling PS4.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

OH yes, so much class in not allowing another company to advertise a game coming out the same day.

So much class with that... said no one ever!

[Manic2014]

To be fair MS do have COD for advertising, Sony have some games too though.

@HappyWithOneBubble
Yeah like sony have not been childish. This ad by MS is noway childish, just a smart tactic.

[Funantic1]

I'd take the cologne over Destiny. Destiny stinks.

[gootimes]

It will be great via remote play! Looks great. Love what Sony is doing with connecting devices, it's actually really cool.

[KakashiHotake]

Edit

[OC_MurphysLaw]

scam and trick people? How are they scamming/tricking anyone. Please enlighten us.

[KakashiHotake]

You know what having thought of it a little further I've had a change of heart. I don't think they meant any harm.

[Darkxen117]

I keep saying this is getting personal against Microsoft or Xbox one everything that Microsoft do no matter how good is for everyone is something negative especially the gaming media that promote negative things about Xbox one.If this particular case and Sony's does this I know for sure that everyone especially the media applaud Sony for trolling Xbox because ever since the ps4 comes out all they do is troll Xbox every chance they can.

[KakashiHotake]

I agree that Xbox One has become gamings favorite punching bag, but unfortunately that's just human nature. When people come together and identify something as a common enemy the darkness in humanity really starts to show. It doesn't matter how much Microsoft tries to turn things around, certain people are unwilling to loosen their grip of hatred, and hate spreads like wildfire. Personally I don't think Microsoft meant any harm by this, but even I find myself nitpicking at them for every little thing they do. Infact I had to delete a post in this same article because it wasn't until I read the comments of my post that I realized I was contributing to the hate. No way am I saying they're innocent, but I don't think they're the devils people convince themselves into believing. The irony of it all is it could have ( and actually did with PS3 early on ) happened to Sony.

[JeffGUNZ]

when was this meeting to hate MS?

Timeline for MS hate this GEN:

Reveal:
Online/digital future/always on = bad feedback by people, most of which had no intention to ever get an Xbox. "Xbox, more like cable box one".

E3 and the months to follow:
MS changed it's policies to more fan-friendly requests. They focused solely on games during the presentation and readjusted their digital forecast/plans.

Launch:
MS had a solid lineup, sold relatively well, but was listed at a higher price with mandatory kinect

06/2014:
Xbox creates an additional SKU without kinect ,lowering the price to 399.

Also, Since launch:
Xbox has updated the console to add fan requested features every month.
Games for gold
EA Access
External HDD
Gold Weekend (Forza 5 being the first game)
Pre-load over a week before launch
E3-14 all focused on games

Now:
Same people still hate Xbox for their reveal and no matter what they do, it's terrible.

I think we have a lot of good commenters on this site, the problem lies with the handful of trolls who have multiple accounts and flood the comment sections to start wars.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I love how this ad has pissed off so many of the SDF. It's gotten way more hype then I thought it ever would have generated thanks to all their articles bitching about it. As it makes the rounds more and more will be talking about the Xbox One ad for Destiny...

[GiantEnemyCrab]

hahah I know it's funny. It's also funny it went over this articles head that MS can't advertise or talk about it because of the deal Sony made. So of course, they are going to have to talk about cologne because they can't talk about the game.

[Death]

It's amusing.

Sony bought exclusive advertising rights and the brilliant fanboys can't translate that in their heads to Microsoft can't talk about it. Yes, Sony is doing more to show what Destiny looks like. Microsoft isn't allowed to because Sony was worried people would know the Xbox One can play it too. Who is insecure?

[Why o why]

Lol. Firstly I think the add is fine as ive stated above. . Secondly . . .I think people are more amused than angry but it is drawing attention so it's worked regardless of it being negative or positive. . .lastly if you believe this is insecure what did you feel about cod last gen. . .never ever heard you downplay ms's methods.

Let's also not forget the backlash bungie received when the Sony deal came to light. Petitions and sh×t.

Sorry for interrupting the circle jerk lol and please do not take my comment too seriously. .

[OC_MurphysLaw]

The real irony is I don't think this ad is going to do much in the way of somehow changing the landscape but it is a reminder to those getting or owning an X1 that Destiny is on the Xbox One too. Overall though...largely this game will still be associated with Sony.

[pingthing]

Anybody would think that Destiny was only being released on one platform . chill out. Its a smart ad probs tipping a wink to their own fans

[masterfox]

lol

[user9597082]

another crappy article

[Manic2014]

Why are people complaining over the MS viral ad, I have to admit it was pretty clever, knowing it's a big game and a new IP, and advertising some very good deals. This in no regards undermines Sony's ad campaign.

[ScorpiusX]

I'll take 2 bottles & a copy of Destiny for Xbox one please, now that I know it's also on Xbox one thank you . If not for that mock ad I would have made a mistake and bought another console just to play a game .

[n4rc]

Microsoft, stooped so low to promoting Destiny on the Xbox One via a cheap looking cologne bottle.

Because your precious Sony is blocking them from doing so in a normal manner.. But sure, let's act like they wanted to advertise in this way.

[andrewer]

The proportion of Sony fanboys is out of control in N4G. Too much opinion and too little productivity here. Horrible place for Microsoft fans. Good thing I dislike both hehe

[TongkatAli]

Nintendo fanboys are worse, boycott ubisoft meme was hilarious.

[GenericNameHere]

Oh please. I've been on N4G for quite a while now. And I've been lurking GAF lately. Playstation fanboys aren't out of control. Xbox fanboys aren't either. Nor are Nintendo fanboys. But then here you are with your Luigi avatar, being a hypocrite by saying Playstation fanboys are out of control, and saying "Good thing I dislike both hehe"

If anything, it's the Nintendo fanboys that have been "out of control" lately. Go look on GAF. Nintendo fanboys in July whining about The Last of Us Remastered getting so many threads on the first page. Now, Smash is also getting lots of threads on the first page, yet not a single one of those people who complained about TLOUR are complaining about the 4-6 Smash threads.

Next time you call out fanboys of other sides, make sure you also look at yourself, make sure you get your hypocritism out, and save yourself the embarrassment.

[andrewer]

This stupid fight between Xbox One and PS4 is the deal. Nintendo is 90% of the times the target, you're talking about the 10% with the Smash threads. Nintendo fanboys out of control is completely different from Sony fanboys out of control. While Nintendo ones mostly don't need to prove anything, Sony fans always have the need to say their console is the best, their exclusives are the best, their graphics are the best and so on. And, as far as I remember, not a single Nintendo thread attacked another console, like happens all the time with PS4.

Obs. I'm talking about N4G, why did you put GAF in the middle? Not enough arguments?

And hypocrite? Well, in the first place, I said good thing I dislike both because I'm not in this hypocrite fight of Sony fanboys, hypocrite for not wanting a place in a hypocrite fight? Good enough for me. PS4 ain't the best console. The best console is the one you have more fun, so it's impossible to have a "best console", and still Sony fanboys insist that what they like is the best. C'mon, grow up.

No embarrassment here, the ones who should be embarrassed are the ones fighting this stupid war.

Btw I love Nintendo but never talked badly of another console. Could Sony fanboys please be this mature at least?

[GenericNameHere]

Why'd I put GAF as an example? Like I said, I've been lurking GAF for a while now, so I've been there more than here recently.

"Nintendo is 90% of the times the target,..." Yeah, thanks for that bit of info? Where'd you pull that statistic from?

Nintendo fans don't need to prove anything? Yeah right. Look again, and don't cherry pick. This happens with all fanboys. PS4 fanboys have to prove why their console of purchase is justifiable, and so do Xbone and Wii U fanboys. You know what being a console fanboy means? It means justifying why you only have that particular console.

What hypocritical fight? YOU are a hypocrite because you are saying Sony fanboys are out of control here, when in fact that's not true. What's hypocritical about alas fanboys saying their console is the best? Do you even know the definition of hypocrites? They're stating an opinion! If you disagree with them, then start a discussion. If you personally think the Wii U has better games, that's perfectly fine. If the other person is being rude and is an extreme fanboy, then just ignore him/her/them. Just because you see a few PS fanboys doesn't mean this place is littered with them. That's just being biased.

I love Playstation, and I'm trying to be mature and rational in this discussion. This is the Internet. You can't expect EVERYONE to be mature.

[nerdman67]

Microsoft cant do anything positive in the eyes of some.
Its kind of sad that the fanboyism has reached this level.
We all game, we are not really different at all.

[horndog]

Haha! The smell of butthurt fanboy articles.

[Lucifun]

I just want to make sure, but, people know that the cologne bottle is fake, and it was just used help put notice xbox one version.

[Baszs]

Love the cologne! Too much of a pony smell around these articles for too long.. ;)

BTW

Fuck the vita.. that handheld is like a myth,, Never ever saw someone using it let alone playing it..

[S2Killinit]

Seriously though MS, where are the games?

[Dontworrybhappy]

Sunset Overdrive, MCC, Ori and the Blind Forest, Quantum Break ( which looks dope by the way) and I'm sure many many more to be announced in 2015.

[S2Killinit]

thats not a lot of games brother. don't wanna be raining on your parade or anything, personally hate it when people do that. But it seems like the biggest news from MS is usually about how they acquired something shocking (TR) but really when you stack things side by side, they are the ones who don't really have much to offer. think about it, you are citing one exclusive game, one remaster, a small game (which is a nice game btw), one exclusive that has been announced at three conferences already (looks good but not anything revolutionary). Everything else is more hype than material. I give em this though, they do a good job of detracting from the fact that they don't have many exclusives.

[Duke19]

Wow the sony fandom is brutal. I love my PS4 but its great to see how many children decided to pick it up as well.

[Demoa]

fanboys on this site smh

[gamertk421]

Oh, a site with ps in its title, lol. Bitters and salt.

[Dontworrybhappy]

Wow you Sony "fanboys" need to chill. Your starting to look like crazy ass Xbox fanboys.

[Ninver]

What are they trying so say? That xbone owners smell? lol

[Ryuk_2007]

Lmao My god! The salt from these sony fanboys is too damn much.

[Clarence]

It's going to be like this all gen for M$.

[Artemidorus]

IQ levels are really showing at N4GSONY.com and it's approved articles.

Wonder how much Sony pays this website to allow such crap.

[gokuking]

you really gonna throw IQ stones when using the wrong "its"?

[MeliMel]

I dont really care for remote play. MS smelling good tho...lol

[quenomamen]

Its funny and clever and gets the message out there like intended, maybe they need to put whoever came up with it in charge of X1 PR, they need the help.

[gokuking]

Pretty sure Remote Play is actually cheaper than the perfume thing Microsoft is doing. Remote Play functionality is built into every non-camera PS4 game. Big whoop that a Bungie employee spent 5 minutes configuring the controls.

[xXSasukeXx]

Love the comments on..microsoft is des...lol..they do it bcuz they can and will...i love my xboxxxxxx

[RyujiDanma]

well someone got offended

[dcbronco]

Oh how the lowly will remain so. PS4.sx writes click-bait article in desperate attempt to get attention.

[DLConspiracy]

I don't think MS should have stooped to that level, but it was pretty funny.

[thexmanone]

Luv this site PS4 fans at there best.LOL

[Ryan741]

Now if only the fans would actually support the Vita, its a brilliant bit of kit.

[MadLad]

You guys are getting pathetic.
N4G is no longer anything more than a cesspit for pro-Sony drivel.
Nothing Microsoft does is ever going to be okay here on this site.
They can do one piece of smart marketing and all the top articles cover it as an act of desperation. There's an argument to be had there but, at the same time, if it was in the other court, it would be regarded as nothing more than the smart marketing it is.
The fanboyism on this site is pathetic, and woefully one-sided.

At least this gives the Vita a bit of coverage. Lord knows its needed.
And this is coming from someone who couldn't even give a crap about what Sony and Microsoft are doing at the moment.

[BIGBOSS08]

nothing microsoft does is taken seriously because they've labeled themselves a joke over the last 2 years. its all microsofts fault so why do their fans blame anyone else?

if you have that much of an attachment to the xbox brand thats fine, carry one but dont hate on the people that turned their backs when they realised microsoft were trying to bone them up the ass.

[fatneal]

i honestly feel bad for microsoft because as an nintendo fan i know how rough and annoying it can be when the media turns on you and then that in turn makes the consumer turn on you and its just a perpetual cycle from there.

ive never own any microsoft console so i dont care about them but i dont wish the negativity thats been put on nintendo for years to spread elsewhere either

[WesMcDonell]

Should say, "Meanwhile Microsoft offers free new game along with a Xbox One purchase including DESTINY."

[kenshiro100]

Not sure why everyone thinks Sony fans are offended or annoyed by the ad. TBH, it reeks of desperation, considering that the PS4 is beating the XB1 in sales and Microsoft is running out of ammunition.
