"Balls to Sony" - Microsoft

12:08 PM on 01.09.2007   |   Ishaan


OK, so they didn't really say that.

But being ignored by Bill Gates kind of negates all that awesome publicity Sony got at CES. It was only a couple of months ago that Microsoft called the Wii a "kid's toy". Make up your minds guys.

Since we can post pictures, curse, and D'toid has a comment monitizor, D'toid is now the XBL of blogging, and G4tv.com/thefeed is like the Nintendo of blogging; with it's censorship and selling out.

Hahahahahahahaha. YES! As a Nintendo/Microsoft fan and a Sony-hater, I love to hear this.

I've noticed that in Nintendo Power and "Official X-Box Magazine" they don't make fun of eachother, but they both constantly take shots at Sony. An OXM writer even recently put under the "Now Playing" column the new Zelda, because "even X-Box guys kneel to Nintendo."

This of course is because Nintendo and Microsoft both go on merit as their money-making strategy, and both benefit from a benevolent atmosphere, while Sony tries to profit from naivety. Hopefully it's about to fail.

"We see nintendo as our toughest competition"

This statement, while seemingly a compliment to Nintendo, in a way, is in fact, proof that the opposite of what Bill said is true.

Nintendo it seems is the weapon of choice in the console wars between Sony and MS.

Bill was not actually saying, "Nintendo is our main competition". He was actually saying, "Sony, you suck, even the underpowered Wii is kicking your ass". Which just goes to show that MS really is fighting with Sony, and they have to say Nintendo is the REAL competition in order to insult Sony, by the implication that Sony is NOT the competition.

Or I could be drunk and over analyzing this. Nah.

I'm sure like most of your headlines what Bill gates said about the Wii was taken out of context.

No, Bahamut, it's just he an idiot that wants attention. Any dork that takes a picture of him flexing obviously wants people to like him. Probably came from his father loving him too much and mother being drunk and passed out in a corner, who knows.

Actually, I was going to skip the burrito today and just have a huge helping of Mac and Cheese, Ranch Doritos with Ranch Dip, a Take 5, and a Diet Pepsi (because I really should watch me weight).

I don't really care much what Bill said, but I find it funny I've forgotten what his voice sounds like, because he does real presentations way too infrequently. Just seems a bit odd to me.
