"The days of Sony snowing the consumers and the press are over," says Aaron Greenberg
They say that Sony hasn't kept numerous promises. They talked about Killzone 2 at E3 three years ago, what it would look like, and now it will ship four years later. They will have Gears of War and Gears of War two release before they can get Killzone up.
Greenberg says that the Xbox 360 is leading this gaming generation, with a better game library, and a better online community.
Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg says "the days of Sony snowing the consumers and the press are over," that the company has failed to deliver on numerous promises, and challenges Sony's latest European PS3 sales figures.
"We have been fighting Sony's promises from the day we entered the market," Greenberg told Destructoid. "Three years ago at E3 they showed what PS3 games would supposedly look like with the Killzone 2 video, that we are now learning will ship four years later. That means that we will have shipped Gears of War and Gears of War 2 before they can even get Killzone out the door.
"Think back to GDC 2007 when Sony promised to leap ahead in online with the Sony Home unveil. Here we are two years later and multiple delays for a product that appears to have little to no buzz. Where are the achievements? The friends list integration across all games? Where is the long-promised video store? Where are all the other products using and networking with their CELL chip? How come Blu-ray did not result in better games? What happened with Sixaxis and rumble? Where is the complete 1080p game library we were promised? If Blu-ray as they said would be such a catalyst to PS3 console sales, then why have PS3 sales over the past couple of months not seen any lift since the format victory?"

Like they aren't guilty of at least some of those things.
Anyone ever see the fake pic of what Amped looked like?
What about the Armored Core vid for the XBox showing how the graphics looked? The graphics ended up looking nowhere near as good.
They're hypocrites they too have failed on promises as the one i stated as well.
Now sure Sony may have had issues with developing on the games or Stuff like Home but that could be make it up to quality.
However i wouldn't pass it by Sony saying the same thing against MS so i guess "all is fair and love is war" Applies here.
Though if there's anyone that's gonna point fingers at Sony, it shouldn't be Microsoft...mostly because while Sony obviously shot themselves in the foot, Microsoft made the HUGE mistake of developing a bit of a faulty console, which hardware failure rates reached some big proportions. Made ANOTHER mistake of denying and LYING about failure statistics where it reached the point that they had to renew warranties to EVERYONE that owned a 360...AND only because they were EXPOSED in doing so, not because of their good nature that they voluntarily renewed warranties.
Bottom line, a lot of people know Sony has messed up, but Microsoft is hardly in a position to blame anybody for company faults.
It's one of the best games released this generation.
Face it, Gears is one of the best games of next-gen.
lol.
Sony promised us a console that will obliterate the competition and completely own in sales...Sadly, we got the opposite. Currently, the PS3 is having trouble competing with the Wii/360, in hardware sales, software sales, and library of 1st party/3rd party games.
Who knows maybe at the end of this year and start of the next Sony would be starting to make Massive games to where its a must buy, and climb back in. Sony is running a marathon not Sprinting the 50 yard dash.
