Sony executive takes dig at MS, highlights consistent 'fair' policies

4.7
Sony executive Andrew House has maintained his company's defensive and snide attitude towards Microsoft by criticising inconsistent Xbox One DRM policies on stage at Gamescom 2013. During their press conference earlier today in Germany, House swiped Microsoft with a relatively direct insult:

While others has shifted their message and changed their story, we were consistent in maintaining a message that is fair and in tune with consumer desires, We strove to deliver a platform that delivers both power and great value. And the response we’ve received has been nothing short of incredible.

This strongly suggested that users should trust a platform which makes the right choice from day one, rather than one led by a company that 'flip-flops'. He was met by cheers from the audience, most of which may already have their hearts set on the PlayStation 4, which is set to be released on November 15th in the US.

Microsoft originally defended their controversial used game policy which restricted the sharing of games, but quickly retracted this policy following a considerable outcry from gamers.

Sony have a reputation of insulting Microsoft's Xbox One, notably at E3 where it announced that it would allow users to share games, and even released a video demonstrating the process, where one person hands the disc to another.

Oasis If they put less effort into trash talking and more into actually delivering a grade a console everyone would benefit.

I'd go as far as to say they probably pay people in the audience to laugh and cheer. Pathetic excuse of a supposed 'market leader'.


you're so right man they must sit in their office jerking off and thinking about insults all day and not work on the console you're so smart

lilrichard22 They seem to be working more on microsoft insults than anything else at the time.


That's very true. It's because they think they are essentially in the clear.


They must be pretty stupid if they think there in the clear, MS has **** all over them at GamesCom.

Are you guys really that arrogant. Say the most dumbest **** just to prove the console you like is better. To tell you the truth they are nearly the exact same thing. Stop being dumb-***** and open your eyes. I will be getting what the majority of my friends are because they are nearly equal.......


Software...

aXXo As well as this if you ant the end part again you can also he that he bashes about the 32 different countries on release and also the price difference with each currency. It's all they can do. They should be thinking about how they can make it better rather than bash the other systems. They are REALLY desperate and childish for doing and and yes I am getting the Xbox One, because I would rather have a company that try to make a change than to be with the one that act like a bunch of 5 year olds who name call. Pathetic.


EXACLY. I would've never been able to put it better myself


Aha :) and also yes Microsoft did chance their policies but they changed it as it was what THE CUSTOMER wanted. We talked they listened, exactly what Sony isn't doing right now Microsoft are keeping a low profile when it comes to this childish behaviour and they are being the bigger company by not rising to it. Good on them.
