Sony reps, as immature as always

Sony is pretty much known for their rather immature reps who seem to take any opportunity to not only insult the competition, but the competition's customers. Insulting is pretty much their "thing" while Nintendo and MS have a kind of mutual respect and seem to respond to news with more adult replies, Sony is still in the back ditching rotten fish at passers by. Here's the latest from Sony in response to the whole 3DS thing.

"Having been in the portable space for quite awhile, I think it's an interesting move but one I'd like to see where they go from a demographic standpoint. 8 and 9 year-olds playing 3D is a little bit of a stretch given where some of our research is right now."

It's Sony's favourite "Nintendo is for kids" attack! They admitted they were idiots a while back after claiming the Wii would only appeal to kids and then seemingly being wrong, it's also been shown the DS has a wide demographic, yet here they go again.

Sony really need to stop letting thier employees talk, it's not doing thier image any good.

um, Sony is definitely trying to imply that the DS is only played by 8 and 9 year olds, they've done the same thing before. In fact they called the whole Nintendo fanbase immature before. It's definitely not above them, and it's in line with their history

And who's outselling who?

That's what I thought.

Pff, whatever, if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. And c'mon, who was the one who threw a plasma grenade at the crotch of a cutout Sony rep? Yeah, Bill Gates.

Sony do have a point, kids wont care about 3d visuals on the ds and it will be interesting to see how Nintendo combat this.

lol, didn't know bill gates did that, but that's actually kind of funny no matter who does it to who :P

I'm just thinking, Sony did this same thing with the whole motion control thing, saying how it sucks, only kids will play it, Nintendo is going to die bla bla bla. And then, well *points at move* how long do you guys think before Sony follows suit with 3D as well? It wouldn't be so bad if Sony stood in a more professional position, but they're reps seem to spend so much time mud-flinging it's getting kind of old.

[QUOTE="rickatick"]Yea I'm getting sick of their comments as well, there unneeded and just annoying. At least ms and nintendo are professional about it....Vari3ty

*Looks at your sig* hmm, well that explains why you don't like Sony...

yeah thats why a day after I told my son about Nintendo's 3DS, I overheard him telling his mother about this new 3D Nintendo thing that is coming out, in an excited fashion. :roll:

ps. my son is 6 years old, I'm 32.... we both love the DS. Where I live, I see men, women & children.. out in public, playing with DS's. At Starbucks, on the subway, etc.

Sony is just hurt because they know how badly they were beaten by the DS "the inferior machine", and they see it coming again. The 3DS will destroy the PSP2, when it comes out.

I wonder if its a coincidence that everytime someone makes this arguement that they have a Sony/PS or related Sig. and/or Avatar?

Cows keep saying... MS does it too... Ninty does it too.... but thats all I ever hear.... no one ever provides proof or examples of it happening. Why is that?

The best thing Sony can do now is to attempt to emulate Nintendo with the PSP2...

It's funny to think that Sony will bash Nintendo for what they are doing, and then months or years later, copy it. :lol: so hilarious

Edit* Ouch... pwned from above.

what is insulting about what they said? u gonna tell me that nintendo is not focusing on targeting kids? if they would have said their crappy kidish handheld now i'll see the insult. anyways the ds is a great handheld

you're late... i updated my post to show my ownage.

Still... your first example is 100% accurate... MS didn't say anything there that wasn't true. Sony is not a software company traditionally, thats more of MS's territory, like they said... and PSN still hasn't become the service that Live is, and only by copying ideas from MS, has it managed to be even comparable at all.

Thats the thing, I haven't heard Nintendo or MS bashing anyone this gen. I heard Nintendo and Sony complimenting each other and saying how although the compeition has some good ideas, we believe our products will be superior etc, but I've heard none of the bashing Sony do. I've definetly not heard anything on the level of Sony's insults at the actual customers.

OH NOES! he's going "e-thug" on my ***... :lol: the interwebs are funny.

Oh btw, I own all the systems, I'm just real about what's what. I have no reason to feel any more attached to 1 system than another. Maybe when you own all platforms, you're blindness will be cured, and you will be set free.

but it is for kids...at least i was under the impression that it is.

Anyway where did sony say this?

hmm ill take it but Sony goes along the lines of deliberately dissing the competition but disguising it as they are trying to give out pointers or advice like their actually winning.and another thing who does it more?,i also believe sony deserves everything it has had this gen because they were truly arrogant next gen would be diff i hope but with this attitude many customers wont appreciate it.none the less good proof

is your email jacktretton101 @ sony.employ.com?

Dude... why dont you take a step back and try and look at things with some objectivity. I've never seen Ninty badmouth its competitors, they just throw numbers around... they don't really need to say anything else, their numbers do their talking for them.

MS may attack Sony, but they are attacks at Sony, not Sony's customers. MS, I don't believe, has ever made assumptions about Sony's customers. And some of the things you posted b4, were absolutley true... especially MS's comments about Sony's PSN.

I never thought Nintendo was "just for kids" or "targeted for kids".

The average age of a gamer is over 25.

Although I do think Nintendo appeals to a larger audience.

Just because a game is rated E or T does not mean it is targeting only that age group.

Gotta love Sony :lol: They'll just end up following Nintendo after some heavy damage control again.

Not only are Cows here ridiculed as being the worse fanboys on SWs but their Reps are being called the most immature as well? :lol: ... when will people open their eyes and realize every fanboy faction is the same and PR talk is PR talk, all Corporations have them and their paid to talk up their business and belittle the competition.

W1NGMAN-

See Sony doesn't just belittle the competition, they belittle the fanbase

"Will DSi do well with [the DS's] demographic? It probably will. Will it be a product that expands their user base [beyond] under 12? I'm not sure."

I'm not sure about you, but I don't like being called "under 12" at one point Sony even more directly insulted the Wii fanbase by calling all the WIi gamers immature.

You're telling me that Nintendo handhelds aren't primarily aimed at the younger audience?

The primary thing you buy the device for...you know.....games?

Nope Nintendo is aiming their games at a larger audience of adults AND kids.

I don't see any evidence to suggest otherwise.

You do realize that a lot of kids do play the DS right? Not to say only kids play it.game_masta14

You do relize that alot of older people use them aswell? I am 28 and love my DS.

Sony needs to relax already, they have a nice console in the PS3, lets just chill out :)
