Who should be careful? Are you referring to Sony, or Activision? Or me? If you mean me, then I do not follow what you are saying. Indulging in these matters is not advised? Explain further, please, because I am thinking you worded this wrong or something. It almost comes off sounding like a threat towards me, which I am pretty sure wasnt the intention.
You yes. This platform wars balderdash is just a storyline, don't get hooked on it. By all means enjoy the matches but don't actually believe it all to be real.
Currently Microsoft is heel (have they ever been face? Verses IBM in a different promotion way back perhaps?) and jobbing to Sony in a big way doing massive damage to their credibility as they can't get a clean win to save their lives even with paid enforcers to cheat for them (like any good heel).
Eventually Sony will have to either find some way to keep their run fresh, or they'll turn heel and put over Nintendo or someone.
Microsoft needs either a face turn, or/and some time in the midcard taking part in interesting feuds.
I had given up responding to quotes, simply because they pretty much keep saying the same thing, but the answer to what they seem to be asking me lies in this thread already and has been repeated by me enough already, that I feel like a broken record. However, your post... I like the whole wrestling metaphor.
So, then, I gotta ask... who would be the WWE and who would be WCW? I would have to assume microsoft would be the WWE, right, since they have larger coffers, and Sony would be the WCW? Whats your take?
But to the constant references to COD... to me, bottomline is that if we do not HAVE proof that someone has blocked someone else from advertising, then we simply cannot use that as a rebuttal. I have constantly asked for proof, and even admitted I would be mad at microsoft and say they started this mess, if that was the case. But otherwise, I do not see a relation between the two. The Destiny ads I have seen here in the states always have playstation at the end of the ads here, too, but I havent seen or heard that there is any indication that sony paid activision to block them here as well, so I am not using that as a point.
Also, for the last time, the reason I see this as worse than timed exclusives, is because you will eventually get the timed exclusive. Yeah, its crap to hold something back from the gamer, and I hate the whole thing from both companies. But to deceive the public into thinking its NOT on a competitors console by paying to have it blocked, to me, is a much worse crime.
I am not hashing these points again.
