Do you think MS should've gone after sony on the PSN fiasco? Why didn't they?

Why didn't MS attack Sony's problems directly and made fun of them. The way that Sony goes after other companies such as saying Nintendo Wii is used just to baby sit kids.

These companies never publically go after another.

You'd find often executives or employees are interviewed or asked a question, and they give their opinion. And just like any opinion in the console war, expect it to be biased.

Because Microsoft knows it could happen to them.

They don't want to draw attention to the fact that they are the only ones charging for p2p multiplayer gaming, and since they've had network issues themselves it would backfire even worse.

cause Microsoft are a Noble company, and do not need to mock the inferiority of its competitorsLord-Dweedle

Yeah I kinda think MS has more class. I'm looking at alot of past quotes from Sony. Man, they are arrogant and pretentious. they even hired a guy kevin butler ads to make fun of the competition. It's pathetic and a sign of weakness.

Becuase they wouldn't look good by publically attacking Sony. :|

If it can happen to the Pentagon or NASA then it can happen to Xbox Live, or anything for that matter. Attacking Sony would prove nothing.

why didn't sony attack microsoft after they release a system which they knew were faulty?.

Not agree with MS having class, but i'm agree with that about Kevin Buttler.

Bingo.This has happened to big retailers, government sites, and countless others. MS is far from exempt.Also, why do you need to go after the competition when you are doing just fine according to your bottom line?

Cause they didn't want to give themselves a bad name? Thats the only answer IMO

Sony has through their developers or partners. Latest one not too long ago. http://geekrevolt.com/2011/04/12/infamous-2-pokes-fun-at-the-xbox-360/

Blue-Sky

This is false, Sony loves to bash the competition.

Tretton even told me that I have no self respect for owning a 3DS, being a 21 year old male.

Another thing Sony said: We are not afraid of a coffee stain (about Wii 2)

They said this post being hacked. Even in Sony's darkest hours (PSN hack, they lost all PS1+PS2 earnings this gen etc.) they still have this confidence lol.

If MS was even remotely responsible for that incursion, Sony would have had NO problem throwing them under the bus. Sony will always eat a share of the blame, but the hackers are ultimately responsible.

Lord-Dweedle

That is false. If they didn't know the system was faulty, they would have had a one year warranty like every other piece of consumer electronics when they launched the system, instead of a 3 month warranty.

Of course Jack would say that, he's a PR for heavens sake. They will say anything to make you buy their product.

VensInferno

I fail to see how that helps to increase sales, as they're alienating people besides Sony fans, who would already buy their products anyway.

Because not only do they have no reason to but it would also make them look like complete A-holes. Hope that answers your question.

the real answer is because only in SW is MS and Sony enemies

Its one thing to mock a corporation for sales or design choices. Its another thing to mock them for being hacked and losing millions of CC information.

[QUOTE="Lord-Dweedle"] Sony probly use Microsoft Windows on their computers.. that run their security.. maybe Microsoft were infact behind the hackings? I never thought of it this way before.Lord-Dweedle

The servers are all running Redhat Linux.

SW is not real life people. :?

I find it amazing that someone would even consider such a thing. PUBLIC RELATIONS. Really, a friendly jab at the competition is one thing, but MS will not go out of their way to hurt their public image just to appease a few fanboys.

MS and Sony go after each other all the time, but not with stuff like this.

Why didn't MS attack Sony's problems directly and made fun of them. The way that Sony goes after other companies such as saying Nintendo Wii is used just to baby sit kids.

True enough. And I'd like to add another:

4. Believe it or not, MS is a company made up of human beings who don't revel in the misfortune of others. Sony isn't a mortal enemy. They're business competitors. I like to think that Sony feels the same.

They don't want to draw attention to the fact that they are the only ones charging for p2p multiplayer gaming, and since they've had network issues themselves it would backfire even worse.
