[QUOTE="shishkabob_6"]please update this with sony lying about ps3 selling out, and lying about Sixaxis winning an ward please. Thanks you :) I can do better than that, I'll give my list of Sony lies. But don't get me wrong, I really do like Sony and their products. But they need to do some serious public relations crackdowns. Information shoots across the internet faster than ever before. And a few idiots at Sony are driving the company into the ground... 1) Sony said that the Killzone trailer was gameplay footage... on national television 2) Sony's performance calculations of the PS3 were clear lies 3) Sony said I would be able to hook up two tv's to one PS3 and play 7 player matches 4) Sony said they invented 3D games 5) Sony said that Nintendo is the one that copies off of them 6) Sony said the PS2 and PS3 will replace computers 7) Sony said that the 360 does not play games in high definition 8 ) Sony said the PS3 would have 9 rear connections. It only has three 9) Sony said that they would not release two versions of PS3 10) Sony hid rootkit software on music cd's that allowed viruses and spyware to infest people's computers 11) Sony said that their rootkit removal patch would remove the rootkit. It only updated it to make it safer. 12) In Feb of 2006, Sony said that the PS3 was on schedule for a spring release 13) Sony said that the PS3 would run all games at 120fps / 1080p 14) Sony lied about the size of the PS3 15) Sony said that they would match XBox Live feature for feature, and then some 16) Sony was caught paying off newspapers to write good reviews for them 17) In Sept. of 2006, Sony claimed that the DS is trailing behind the PSP 18 ) Sony's E3 footage of Motorstorm was supposed to be gameplay footage, which is complete b.s. 19) Sony made countless promises about the PS2 that simply didn't happen 20) Sony also showed PS2 screenshots that were totally bogus 21) Sony said that SIXAXIS won an Emmy 22) Sony said that the PS3 was the first worldwide launch ever
oh really? thats why they're a big name in movies, gaming, electronics, optical media and computers? people just love to hate sony so people assume sony is a joke with all the negative press they get. i'm not a fan of all of sony's products and i'm not a fan of the ps3 because of the sony name, i'm a fan of it because of the games it has (or will have).
Bump, there is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much cow ownage its not funny. God. parasiteevelust said "we already" cleared that matter up as a mistake(Six-axis "winning" an emmy)LOL. Who is "we" and how can the 26th largest corporation in the world "accidentally" lie to the public and shareholders. Shame on you Sony. You have grown arrogant in every field, You expect your hard earned "Sony has reported a loss of 94% of its profits for the fiscal second quarter of 2006, and has lost roughly 40% of its value from 2001 to 2006." http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-10/26/content_5253924.htmAkio Morita, legendary founder of Sony, who forged Sony's incredible reputation would be rolling over in his grave. His hard work undermined by a bunch of idiot executives. Brand name alone can't sell. Sony has been finding it out the hard way!
Excellent post. It demands respect. Add this to your list. Bill Gates says Wii is Microsoft's toughest competition. http://kotaku.com/gaming/clips/gates-nintendo-is-our-toughest-competition-227599.php
Obviously, they didn't lie; they were just misinformed or the Emmys just gave the wrong award.

:D :D :D The Blindness!!! Seriously, why would they lie? The truth will come out soon. This was the Emmy's fault not Sony's.
Sony's Sixaxis award press release
Sony lied!! Face it!!! They twisted the story themselves. As a multimillion dollar company, how the hell do you not know what awards your business wins, and then "accidentally" tell all/most publications that your newer product won???Â
All it was, was to hype up the PS3 since consumers dont seem to be all that interested in it at the moment.Â

What!? They were watching what we listen to!? I'm sorry Sony, but that is just plain low. Seriously, I knew Sony was not the most upright company, but watching what we do is just unforgivable.
Sony really needs to shape up in the coming years. The PS3 is a great gaming console, but Sony itself is killing it.
We all know Sony has been taking a lot of bad press from the PS3, but lets take a look back at the year that has lead us to the Nov. 17th release date.

While it's not all of Sony's fault, they have done little to apologize for their delays and arrogant statements. It's a bad trend that they've started, and the more they continue the more we'll be seeing article after article on Gamespot.....day after day about something else they've done to flaw the PS3's image.
I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of flaming cow responses, but hey that's expected. I can understand their crankiness b/c I know I'd hate to be in their shoes atm. Hopefully Sony will have some sort of eye-opener to the amount of distaste they've started among gaming consumers, and will get back to what they used to do best. Natural_Mystic
Thats a huge wall of text. But it must be important if its so long so ill bump it for ya!
[QUOTE="phoenixan_akrau"]I have a lot of respect for this thread. :) It shows all the bull the Sony's thrown out, and makes this comic even funnier.s50cal

WHy even go on, Microsoft laughs at all the accessories their cunstomers have to buy for their console and basically get worried they are pretty much slapping their fans in the face by coming out with a new system in the shortest time in gaming history, and laugh so hard as people still defend them.
