Sony President Lives in Fantasy Land

Great news, Sony fans. According to Kaz Hirai, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America*, Sony is officially leading the console market with the PS3, disregarding silly things like sales numbers and market share.

So how exactly is Sony “officially” leading? In an interview found in the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine, Kaz Hirai made the following statement:

“This is not meant in terms of numbers, or who’s got the biggest install base, or who’s selling most in any particular week or month, but I’d like to think that we continue official leadership in this industry.”

Okay… barring all of that, how do you discount the massive success of the Wii?

“It’s difficult to talk about Nintendo, because we don’t look at their console as being a competitor. They’re a different world, and we operate in our world – that’s the kind of way I look at things.”

And what about Microsoft? Are they not a competitor either?

“With the Xbox – again, I can’t come up with one word to fit. You need a word that describes something that lacks longevity.”

What? So basically, Kaz Hirai feels that Sony is leading the gaming industry because the consoles that are beating it don’t count. I suppose he’s right if you follow that logic (which fanboys always do), but I still think he’s a bit delusional. I guess we can’t expect the fanboys (not regular “fans”, you guys are alright) to live in the real world if the PlayStation boss doesn’t, so I blame Kaz for all this Internet hate and douchebaggery.

Oh, guess what else? I am the father of Jessica Alba’s baby. That paternity test saying I’m not? Doesn’t count. We totally had lots of sex and stuff.

*UPDATE: His official title (according to playstation.com) is President and Group Chief Operating Officer of Sony Computer Entertainment. My B, but even kotaku finds these titles confusing.

  • oooo

    And yet idiots like you misinterpret what he just said.

    FAIL.

  • embalm01

    Ah, just seen who wrote the article. It’s Dan the prick that wrote the last drivel about Sony/KZ2.

    Someone should cut your hands off so you stop writing this shit..

  • http://Ripten Rangebar Merani

    lol nice pic haha

  • Anon

    Totally misinterpreted what he’s saying. Another excellent article from Ripten!

    The Wii is in a different league, multiplat games like COD do terrible on Wii, yet Big Brain Academy is always sold out. Thats not the same market as the 360 and PS3. He also didnt mention the 360 being a competitor or not, he mentioned that it wont last. Faulty consoles, still using DVD etc. That’s what he means.

  • riptensuckscoock

    What a complete fail, can you not use some comment sense and read between the lines. Like the above user said, you completely misinterpreted what he said. The only fanboy here is you.

  • WWII

    What’s the purpose of this article again? A rant?

  • oooo

    When Microsoft PR’s say something stupid, it’s never singled out. But when Sony says something, it’s plastered all over the fucking internet like a smear campaign.

    COME OFF THIS SHIT.

  • kevcozha

    I like the PS3
    Hell I only have a PS3
    but this guy just grinds my gears sometimes :P

  • Mat

    If you ask me,, You are a fanboy!!
    You seem to bash Sony fanboys, but not 360 fanboys! I guess it would be silly to bash yourself!

    You are a tool. I think healthy competition is good for us gamers. Keeps the industry alive and of course interesting. Unfortunately journalism is another story. You are as stupid as your picture looks.

    I guess this is the only way to get people to your site. It works…

  • Me

    According to RIPTEN.COM Kaz Hirai is the President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America.

  • DJ

    Another lame article from ripten. If it weren’t for N4G I’d never know you guys existed. Close browser now…

  • Alakratt

    Funny thing, you said that you weren’t a fanboy during the Killzone 2 debacle, remember? But you couldn’t hide it for much longer could ya? Kaz said that his statement was not based on numbers, but innovation. Compare the number of features the PS3 had when it launched to now, tons of new features thanks to their firmware updates. M$ does not consider Nintendo as competitor also! And the fact that it does not have longevity, why? simple, RROD and by this year, we will all see the PS3 distance itself from the 360 by its amazing games, which? KZ2, GoW3, inFamous, Uncharted 2, GT5 (if it comes out this year) and those MMOS. So quit using any oportunity to bash Sony, and why don’t you start critizing the stupid things M$ pigs like Aaron Greenturd keeps saying all the time!

  • http://gameplayasblog.blogspot.com ScruffyK

    Great, another article that gets to the point. Are you surprised the heads of the companies say their product is better? Everyone except Nintendo (because the owners of the Wii don’t give a shit or know how to use a computer) continues to flaunt statistics and say their buzz words, but you pick on this guy. Compared to Aaron Greenberg, Kaz Hirai seems incredibly moderate. But, that’s just my opinion. So good work, you’re really adding a lot to the world with this article.

  • commonsense

    LOL@Ripten

    FFFFFFFanbots who loves M$ and their crap

  • Ares

    LOL, listen. For those of you who don’t count the Wii as a competitor, wow. That is fan-sissy-boy cowardice there. If I were Sony or X-Box, I would be pissed that the Wii of all things is dominating. I wouldn’t just go, “umm, not counting.” Seriously, if the Wii is in a different league it is in a far better one. A league that can count sales, figuers, you know…numbers? That league is the league that apperantly survives. The Sony league on the other hand, is a sad one that is still last place…in what EVER league you want it in. And btw…people who say “FAIL” all the time, it is very gay internet slang. Try to drop it.

  • jason

    ive started to notice a trend websites ive never heard of start slagging sony off to get publicity think about every time ive seen this crap on n4g has it linked me to eurogamer or ign or sum 1 at least respectable no stop pulling this shit its starting to get pefetic honestly

  • Dan Landis

    I think you mean “pathetic”. Oh, the irony…

  • Jake

    Have everybody forgot that Playstation isnt just the Playstation 3!? There’s also something called the Ps2 and a little thing called the PsP…! So with the Ps3:s 19 million units, the Ps2:s 140 million (!) units and the PsP:s 40 million that sounds a lot more than Xbox:s 24 million and the 360:s 28 million… If you disregard the Ps2:s the Playstation BRAND still has more sales this generation than both Xbox generations!

  • http://www.n4g.com Gun_Senshi

    Nice twisting what he said for flame bait and trolling.

    He said the -PLAYSTATION- BRAND. That is PSP + PS2 + PS3. They have the biggest Market share. They are leading.

    Go back to your hole worm. Gaming journalist my arse. Your just a fanboy with useless comments.

  • Dan Landis

    Okay, if that were true, then why did he specifically say “This is not meant in terms of numbers, or who’s got the biggest install base, or who’s selling most in any particular week or month”?

    Riddle me that, Batman.

  • Slugworth

    Look at the fanboys flame. I can’t understand why you guys get so defensive for this nut job when he spouts out corporate bullshit. Can any of you think for yourselves. It’s a stupid product. Kaz probably laughs his ass off when he reads these kinds of comments. I can see him sitting in his office now showing his assistant these posts, “Hey Bob, look at these losers. They are arguing over a stupid videogame system. I’m glad they have no lives otherwise we would be out of business.”

    Oh, and by the way fanboys. Have fun waiting for your PS3 games while I play my 360 games.

  • Ronando

    Dan,

    Judging by your one comment reply I see you do read them, however, you only drop a rebuttal to advise of grammatical or spelling errors?

    Why can’t you address some of the intellectual comments posted after your blog, regardless of how critical they are?

    This only further solidifies the idea of how much of a coward you are.

    You critize “fanboys” in your article, while making your self seem like the biggest one of all! Now that’s “irony” at it’s best…

  • Dan Landis

    I didn’t see any intellectual comments that needed addressing.

  • Ronando

    Oh, but spelling and grammatical errors need addressing? Are you serious?

    How do you expect your readership to take you seriously with comments like this?

    Your credability is diminishing faster than George Bush, quit while you’re ahead, my friend.

  • Ya Boii

    This guy is crazy, we maybe talking apples and orange when we talk about PS3 Wii and 360. I own all 3 and ever new generation I get all 3. Ya boii is not a fan boy, but I have played thousands of games over the years. The PS3 is slipping as far as sales, but over the years it should pick up (It’s the cheapest blu-ray on the market) and when it does the Xbox maybe in trouble, but by then there maybe Xbox720. I love games no matter what system there on.

  • Dan Landis

    …except the one I already addressed. If he was talking about PlayStation as a brand, he could have used numbers to support him. He didn’t. Nintendo beats Sony in both handhelds and consoles, so he just says “they aren’t our competitors”.

    He could use numbers, overall PlayStation numbers, to prove they are beating Microsoft, but he didn’t do that either. Again, this is if he is talking about the brand as a whole. But he didn’t use numbers because Sony’s focus right now is on PS3, and the 360 has more marketshare. That’s why he’s disregarding numbers.

  • James

    Wii, well, Wii’s cheap and casual. In CE terms, Wii’s this portable CD player, while PS3 and 360 are mammoth home theater surround sound systems. You know Sony- they’re just interested in being the biggest and the baddest. While the Wii beats them in profit, Sony beats them in the actual quality of their product. And while the 360 is beating the PS3 in sales currently, Hirai thinks the 4 year 360 lifespan is an indication of how long MS planned for the 360 to be around. Considering Blu-ray’s growing more and more each year, and downloadable movies are being hindered by the internet infrastructure and bandwidth caps, Kaz’s uncertainty about the 360′s longevity starts to make a bit of sense, don’t you think?

  • James

    Sorry, I meant “4 year Xbox lifespan.”

  • moo

    Slugworth…I’ll be waiting alright. At least I know they’ll be in great shape when they come out.

    F*ck off.

  • http://mortal-light.stumbleupon.com/ Mortal Light

    It’s gotten to the point where I can tell which articles are written by Dan just by looking at the title in my RSS feed. Many of your articles are quite unnecessary, except of course to provoke PS3 fanboys. Now, I own a PS3, but I am far from a fangirl; I occasionally play the 360 at a friend’s place and I am planning on getting one myself, but I find these articles very unnecessary. Killzone 2 is overhyped? I anyone could have told you that. Same for many of the other recent games that have gotten high praises. Did it warrant a scathing article? No. This article talking mocking a CEO’s view of his star product is also useless. Who cares what he thinks, the numbers speak for themselves. If all you have to do is comment on things vaguely related to gaming, then I’d love to have your job. At least I could find more relevant things to write about.

  • Slugworth

    Wow moo. I guess the waiting is really starting to get to you. Telling me to f*ck off wasn’t very nice. Now when you say they will be in great shape, do you mean Lair great shape, or Socom:Confrontation great shape which was unplayable at launch great shape.

    While you’re “waiting” for GT5, I’m playing Forza 2. And, before you bring it up, I don’t care about how much better GT5 looks than Forza. A game doesn’t need the best graphics money can buy to be great game.

  • Weird

    One: This story is over a week old (reported by many many websites).

    Two: This proves your love/obsession/need to report on negative Sony news. It so fuels you that it brought you back into writing another article, nothing had inspired you until you’d found this little ditty that you could poor over. Nothing about video games themselves, nothing up-to-date – no, only the old, outdated quotes of a Sony chairman.

  • Weird

    And have you read the Microsoft replies? Or this analyst on Edge about the same quotations? http://www.edge-online.com/news/analyst-ps3%E2%80%99s-10-year-plan-makes-sense

    In about two days these quotations were poured over, replied to, counter-argued and argued for. There’s a whole story missing from this week-old, shallow POV.

  • Spiderfish

    What the hell happened to Ripten in the last months?

    This site used to have some respectable articles and some unbiased views, not anymore I see…

    There’s plenty to choose from thankfully.

  • son_of_games ^_^

    “I didn’t see any intellectual comments that needed addressing.”

    Well you started it off with an article that lacks intelligence. You can’t have your pie and eat it too Dan. I know your job is to generate hits, because you’re the only that creates flamebait like a typical fanboy, for this website. Well, I guess they must be happy with your “expertise” in fanboyism. Well, you’re doing a bang up job with that one.

    P.S, maybe you should think before you state intellectual comments, since you’re devoid of any. Oh yea, before you respond with your usual cursed, acrimonious laced tirade, just to let you know, I won’t care to read. Have a good one popping a blood vessel.

  • commonsense

    Typical of Dan Landis to make trash articles like this, it’s the ONLY way he has to get hits on his lousy page. Why don’t you make articles about the failure of the Jasper motherboard in fixing the RRoD? why don’t you make articles on how M$ is losing money thanks to the 360 because they invested a TON of it in insurances and faulty hardware replacements? mm? you don’t because no one gives a damn about the 360, they just consider in buy the console because it’s cheap and it doesn’t matter if it’s a pile of crap and people in microsoft is losing their jobs thanks to the 360.

  • Bagat

    Wii is not considered a competitor simply because the only reason it has sold is because it appeals to such a wide audience. Sony and MS have a different target audience.

    Wii – kids and easy appeal for parents.
    PS3 – Teens, entertainment freaks, gaming adults, japenese.
    360 – Teens, gaming adults
    the reason wii has more sales is cause it has a good first time impression on parents, and smaller kids get whatever they want.
    The reason 360 has more sales is because it gets its target audience better with good shooters.

    Let’s look toward what really counts FOR US with MS vs Sony – Online. PSN and Live have a similar number of users.

    Face it, MS will not survive, now that their major series Halo has ended. Thats why their desperately trying to add on to the game. MS is going to die a slow painful death, but they will put up a lasting fight, unless they release a new console.

    By the end of this year, Sony will have gone another $100 price cut, with improved features in the console. And it will be the best bang for the buck. Thats the difference between ps3 price cuts and xbox price cuts. PS3 gets better with the price cut. The xbox is just made cheaper.

    MS soley relies on its pricey add-ons. I get sooooo freakin pissed off that they charge $100 for a retarded wifi adapter. Even a ds has that built in. Sony decided it wouldn’t go with retarded addons after the failure of the $15 ps2 memory card reader one time use.

  • Abaddon

    (Because what’s the point of discussing anything with these raving fanboys? I mean, come on now.)”

    You are not discussing anything either,you just complacently sit and shit on the shitters.

    This is a piece of opinion about some exotic and misleading PR talk.Not “The Truth” DavidGX,if you don’t agree, that’s fine ,but don’t try to argue with me about that subject please.

    Is easily argued that Wii is not in the same league that the other two 7th gen consoles,and easily understood.

    I do prefer Kazuo Hirai over Ken Kutaragi any day,at least for the sake of the political image of Sony,Kutaragi was an engineer,not a real executive, and every time he talks the damn price of the bread comes up,as we say in my land.

    I do agree that is delusional and incorrect to ignore the 360 as an international competitor though,but delusional and all,he’s not lying on the part when he says they are not the same product.They are not.Did you knew it’s true that despite NOT being particularly a better console You Can Actually do things with the PS3 you can’t with the 360,mmmh? that is a fact,it’s not Kazuo’s PR talk,it’s not Dan Landis opinion nor mine (I’ll drop the brackets and the “Mr.” for you,since I don’t like you anymore,boo-hoo :D)

    Consumers are not technologically educated people,not all of them are hardcore.Do you think the Wii is “Leading the way for videogaming” because it sold more? I ask any of you;You dare to be serious?

    Most PR will try to spin it and lie to you or at least confuse you,Nintendo with their “”"Final Fantasy”"”since gamecube had all the fanboys raving,was it any better than PS2′s FF? Now its obvious that final fantasy on Nintendo died on supernes.(Even though it resurrected in DS)

    Did the Wii controller was everything they told us it was going to be?; it is garbage.

    Did the 360 was a reliable machine?,garbage.

    Did the blu ray laser was any more reliable than the solding on the 360′s motherboard? My ass,thousands of ps3′s died here in spain. 1% vs 33% MY ASS,more like 25% failure rate for both
    https://www.facua.org/es/noticia.php?Id=3327

    By the way Dan,you’ve got to admit at least that You Know fanboys will come with an assertive piece of…Opinion like this.

    We all know how PR’s are,now,but by how we understand and judge what the PR said,manifests our True Colors.Here you have my opinion:I prefer a PS3,I don’t give a damn about what fanboys on both sides say about a more eficient memory pool,price,or games.

    I don’t agree with you assertive prose Landis,you seem to be calling him a Retard with all the letters and I don’t think that’s a subjective impression of my brand fanboyism.

  • Weird

    You are destroying Ripten’s reputation slowly. It’s ridiculous. I’m sure the founder and the guys that helped him, don’t even think you were around then, didn’t have this in mind for the website.

    Abaddon, you bring up some interesting points. And yes, of course I know the fanboys are going to come out of the woodwork every time I write a “negative” article. I remember back in the good old days when I was a different kind of fanboy every week.

    Regardless of your console preferences, Kaz’s statements are easy to ridicule, and that’s all I was doing. If I read or heard anyone else say something equally as ridiculous, I would have written the same article about that.

    Some people just take this stuff too seriously. Doesn’t anyone watch The Daily Show, or is that a little too high brow?

  • Abaddon

    Yeah DavidBoxG60,I do like “some” penis myself.

    My OWN Penis precisely and exclusively,and your mother likes it too,that’s for sure,roflmao.

    Anyway,yes they ARE ridiculous statements,but as I said,only children and mentally impaired live in “Fantasy Land” and that,being an educated, very subtle and clever insult, sounds too harsh for a guy who has such a big PROBLEM* in its hands,what I mean is,Sony doesn’t need a push to be beaten by 360;Microsoft already sold more.Is it the best console? Arguably.Possibly.

    But not so Clear as you see it boys,and that’s it.

    It’s not a headshot
    Sony can respawn a few more times before dying.

    Besides,this declarations give me shivers down the spine more than laughs.
    I do imagine the japanese living in a closed bubble,isolated from the rest of the world,believing that PS3 sold as well more than 360 in EU and US.
    Imagine for a second they are being lied a la North Korea style just for the bucks,just for tech chauvinism–…But that’s just conspiranoid.

    Anyway,you are right Landis,but I still think you are directly calling for “fanboy disaster”,(though you don’t deserve any insult),with such sharp mocking pieces.

    *(Let’s talk properly here,Sony IS in trouble)

  • http://www.awayfromkeyboard.guildcafe.com John Landis

    Comments make me laugh. Sony is losing miserably this generation of consoles. That’s how I see it. Is it an arguable statement? Of course! Pretty much anything is really. I argued for two hours one time against the existence of atoms. The simple fact that in this generation the fans of the Playstation brand have to resort to pulling out numbers from the previous generation of systems should be quite telling. How can you use the entire brand of the PlayStation pulling out numbers on the install base or sales of out of date dusty old PS2s and then say the the Wii doesn’t count? Can we compare Nintendo’s brand prestige against Sony’s, because I don’t think that would work out in Sony’s favor. How is it that the Wii targets a different audience than the PS2 does these days? By many Wii detractors on statements the Wii is an inferior machine incapable of competing toe to toe with today’s computational polygon rendering juggernauts. Call of Duty was pretty crappy on the Wii huh? Well, how was it on the PS2? I bet it looked just as good on that as it did on the PS3? Also, bust on the controls all you want, but if you do, then shut the fuck up about about your shitty SIXAXIS bullshit. It was a direct reaction by Sony to compete with the Wii, and frankly, it sucks just as much, if not more.

    Besides, ignoring the competition because it caters to a different market is ridiculous. I mean, imagine if a movie came out and had lackluster ticket sales, and they claimed to be the number one movie as the other movies didn’t count because they catered to a different audience. “The Dark Knight may have beat us in ticket sales, but that was directed at a different audience than our movie, so our movie is the best.” Everything is competing regardless of what audience it’s targeting. They’re all competing for your time and money. Movies, TV, Internet, Wii, PSP… the list goes on and on. Frankly, ignoring the Wii just shows how ignorant some of you people are to the fact that you’re talking about businesses here who want to get as much money as possible. You really think that Sony is discounting the Wii the way these statements make it seem? It certainly didn’t seem so when they ripped the guts out of their controllers at the last minute to get some motion control in there. I’m sure that had absolutely nothing to do with the Wii’s control setup. It’ll be more of the same when the next gen systems are announced and all sides go for the casual audience. Hell, they’re doing it now with stupid crap like the NXE and Home (both of which suck ass, by the way… well, except the new party system, but the rest of it is garbage).

    As far as being the cheapest BR player on the market, that ship sailed long ago, friends. You can get BR players now for around two hundred bucks (American) without even looking. Frankly, I don’t see BR helping the PS3 anymore, to me it was always the other way around, which is one of the reasons Sony has pissed me off this generation. I still don’t see the BR disk being their format for any other reason than to get the edge over HDDVD. As a gamer that pisses me off to no end, to be used as a tool in some grander scheme that has nothing to do with games. I still have yet to see the gaming benefits of the BR over DVD. I’m more than open to it, but frankly the shortcomings of the media outweigh the benefits. I guess if I was so lazy that getting up to change discs (which I still haven’t had to do yet with my 360) was a major hardship, I’d concede that point.

    Does Microsoft’s blunders with their hardware upset me? Of course it does! The difference, to me at least, is that I don’t think that MS intentionally set out to manufacture a faulty product (it just comes naturally to them LAWL) while Sony has done nothing but lie and backpedal and steal ever since the announcement of the PS3. Yes, I know they are all businesses, but at least MS has at least some sort of air of giving a shit. Is it all bullshit? OF COURSE! It’s called PR, and MS is just much better at it than Sony. I don’t remember a point where some MS exec or PR person or tech guy talked as though they were above the gamers buying their product. Of course, Sony is doing a fantastic job of seeming like they’re the underdog battling against the evil dirty money of Corporate Greed Microsoft, so I guess they’re just coming at it from another direction. Sony certainly wasn’t hurting for cash when they paid for the license for the Spider-Man font on their system… oh… they probably didn’t have to pay anything for that since they’re ALL Sony. Gee, all MS’s computer money must really trump Sony’s movie, TV, camcorder, monitor, computer, MP3 player, blue ray player, DVD player, gps system, and cell phone money. I mean, how can Sony possibly compete with Microsoft when Microsoft has all those softwares!? (Please note the sarcasm here)

    My thing is that Sony seems to have given up on the system or is trying to maintain the underdog image because they never have any major campaigns like Microsoft does. Even more amazing is that every time a game or developer “turns traitor” to Sony, it’s always blamed on Microsoft’s big fat wallet. Maybe Sony should be willing to shell out some fucking cash for the benefit of their customers too? I mean, seriously, how is it a bad thing that a company who’s goods and services I’m using is using that money to provide me with more goods and services? To me, it’s like getting pissed off at the restaurant I frequent because they hired a better chef, or got napkins or something and yours didn’t. Tell your hostess to get you some fucking napkins and stop harassing the people over here, we’re trying to eat goddammit!

    Sorry, I just got off of work and I’m tired and irritable, and Dan’s editorial type things are fun to comment on because fanboyz (on both sides, it just so happens it’s Sony’s guys here) are so goddamn insane.

    Oh, and I’m not a 360 fanboy, despite the fact that I will be most likely labeled as one, I just learned to hate Sony after Star Wars Galaxies’ NGE and it just sort of kept growing from there. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, your opinion on everything involving video games as a business and your opinion of how awesome Sony is is null and void because you are ignorant and you are targeting a different audience than myself, so nothing you say or do matters. I’m always right, because anyone who disagrees with me simply does not exist.

    Oh, and I don’t actually hate the PS3, I hate Sony, which makes everything they do suspect in my eyes.

    Flame on.

    Dan, you’re crazy man! LMAO!!!!!!

    Don’t worry ps3 fanboys, KZ2 is going to save the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    NOT!

  • Bagat

    You can say Sony is in trouble, but I disagree, its Microsoft that’s really in trouble. It cut back budgets on its E&D which includes xbox, zune, etc because of the soaring cost of that departments R&D. Sony is not in trouble. I know many factors contribute to this, but just look at their stock. It hasn’t drastically fell, unlike MS’s in the previous year.

    Suddenly, that rumored PS3 price cut is seeming to be a reality, and the rumored xbox price cut is not.

    The statement that he gives saying that the xbox wont last is probably going to be true. It will still have an install base, but receive fewer sales due to technology limitations. Technology advances Its a fact that the ps3 is superior in terms of technology, dont you deny it.

    ok I actually was one of the few to agree on the killzone 2 article cause hype kills games, but this was completely unnecessary

    plus the ps3 is leading as a console not on sales, but the value(IMO)

  • Ms and ripten sitting in a tree

    IMO Ripten lost all credibility when typical Dan posted that ‘article’ about the PS3′s version of Farcry 2 being gimped. This one is the icing on the cake.

    Goddamn, Abaddon is like.. master of the penis. You sir know penis, love penis and live penis.

    Seriously though, can we just move on if we don’t like the article? Do we HAVE to go insane at every single article that doesn’t hail PS3 as the savior of mankind? Are you that insecure about your system of choice that you have to act this way?

    Cut it off already David,it was funny the first time.Now you seem to be clearly in certain state of mind,receptive for phallus ,but don’t share please.

    It would be easier for me to briefly disrespect Landis than writing that hefty wad full of Engrish.

    I knew this’d result in flaming, yes I prefer the ps3 myself but that doesnt mean I’m a fanboy/girl/thing. I respect your words Dan and I honestly could careless if anyone does talk down about ps3 (just an example and I’m not saying Dan is doing so), everyone is entitled to their opinion . So let’s agree to disagree and have a group hug.

    they should clone sam and have him write this stuff not dan the xbot,wheres your piece on the stuff greenberg says??oh thats right it’s off limit huh?

  • CRAZYSPYDER

    any game that comes out for the crapbox wont make me wanna buy one so i guess that means crapbox is a failure according to dan the xbot.

  • Bizzmarky!

    Once again Dan Lambit you manage to write up another crappy article trying to burn the ps3. Why? whats ur problem with the console? Just stick to the microshite section, you massive fanboy cant you try and stay negative?
