Activision removes PS3 from COD: Black OPS ads.

[QUOTE="KarateeeChop"]

lol, are people seriously trying to use this as an excuse to bash MS? :lol:

Let's not forget that Sony used PGR3 screenshots to advertise GT4. Twice. Makes you wonder how low Sony is willing to go. :lol:

I am concerned about microsoft's money

Hey, at least lems know where that extra $10 a year is heading.

[QUOTE="Merex760"]Throw money at multiplats to falsely brand them as exclusives. Oh, Microsoft. navyguy21

The thing is Sony actually uses their money to make exclusive games, unlike MS who hasn't announced any exclusives games at any major game expo this year.Not to mention they don't do this as much as MS does.

[QUOTE="KarateeeChop"]

good business tactic by MS. Sony can only watch and cry.

BPoole96

Watch as Black Ops sells exactly the same as MW2 did on PS3?

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="RogueShodown"] That's called a mistake...navyguy21

sony can do no wrong. Sony's using the competitor's product to promote its own games, TWICE, can only be innocent mistakes.

[QUOTE="TintedEyes"]They couldnt have spent their money better? Pug-Nasty

It's not their money, it's their userbases cash. I guess that's what MS thinks the 360 userbase wants, exclusive ad campaigns.

good thing sony did it first to let MS know that this "dirty tactic" worked on the PS3 userbase.

Link? And if so, shouldn't MS be putting that money to good use? I don't really see them doing that

[QUOTE="mtradr43"] the only difference is that ms makes more money than sony does off of everything. and, believe it or not, neither sony nor ms really care about us, they just care about what they are briging in for themselves. and in that regard, ms is being far smarter.Chutebox

Link? And if so, shouldn't MS be putting that money to good use? I don't really see them doing that

Its a shame really, I don't see the reason to defend MS when they've given their fanbase the shaft for casuals. I have nothing to get on My 360 for the rest ofthis year except for Reach.

that article fails because it said the game comes out in september.AiurProtoss

As it turns out lemmings now only care about how much money MS is making and not the product being offered them.Chutebox

And Cows seem to really care how M$ spends their money for some reason. Based on the comments in this thread at least.

M$ better get that money to get Lemmos some games. All they have is halo, gears, halo, gears and more halo.

Wise move that only benefits them by what, exactly? MW2 outsold the PS3 version by roughly 1 million :P

Not directed towards you. It's to the people who are wondering why MS couldn't spend their money better, the people I bet don't even have a 360.

MS's money is the only thing keeping 360 alive for the last 3 years.

Not everyone is like that, I prefer PS3 but I have a 360 and its been collecting dust ever since Alan Wake. i have to basically pay 60 for XBL just to play Halo Reach.MS needs to rethink their marketing strategy. PS3 outsold 360 by 4 million last year, it shows that MS is doing something wrong.

More reasons why most multiplats on PS3 sell less...

Yeah but 600 dollar launch price kinda prohibits that, I see it passing 360 this year end, if not, definitely next year. Its impressive that PS3 came this far with such a high price tag.

is this move even legal to begin with?

is ms that desparate? i guess so, if they were doing good this move wouldnt even cross their minds.

The Wii gets no love. Cause COD: Black Ops is also for the Wii so that means the Ads don't have the PS3 OR Wii....heck that means there's no PC option either! so the Ads are just saying "XBOX 360 or GTFO!"

:lol: you need to do some more researching. MS has already been making profit from the 360 since years ago.

Sony, on the other hand, lost more money on the PS3 than they've made on the PS2. How tragic.

Yes, I know not everybody is like that. It is fine if people prefer one or the other. It's just that we have fanboys that even if M$ spent their money to their liking, they would still be as biased and hateful to the 360 as ever. I'm talking about the people who ALWAYS have something negative to say about a certain console.

There are plenty of people who support the 360 who are like that here also.

so 360 losesmost if not all1st party devs and now they think that this move will work? wow.

so what's your opinion on sony when they did the same thing with AC2?

or better, what do you think of sony's using PGR3's screenshot to advertise GT4? The sad thing is that Sony did that twice. How low can they go eh?
