Comments on: Greenberg: “Sony has a history of over-promising and under-delivering” http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/05/26/greenburg-sony-has-a-history-of-over-promising-and-under-delivering/ This is the news Fri, 05 Dec 2008 02:11:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: flamewarrior http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/05/26/greenburg-sony-has-a-history-of-over-promising-and-under-delivering/#comment-11236 flamewarrior Wed, 28 May 2008 04:18:54 +0000 http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/05/26/greenburg-sony-has-a-history-of-over-promising-and-under-delivering/#comment-11236 I am really tired of Mr. Greenberg's rants. Maybe he's upset because he's seen the IDC 2008 projection for console sales which puts the 360 at a distant third to the Wii and PS3 in the 2010 - 2012 time frame. (For the record, I have a late-model 360 and I'm happy with it.) I think his churlishness can be more easily explained, however, by the following two attributes: 1. First name: "Aaron" 2. Second name: "Greenberg" I am really tired of Mr. Greenberg’s rants.

I couldn't careless about MS vs Sony rantathon its just tiresome. I would be much happier if both company's got together and just made a unified console so I would only need one console to play all the games.

Just leave us alone and let us get on with playing some games. Maybe it's to distract us from the fact that they have so few AAA titles this year compared to last. The guy just comes across as the worst kind of American. Maybe as you guys have said elsewhere, this plays really well at home, it doesn't go down too well over here.

With these kind of message it sounds more like he is afraid xbox 360 loses out on something. Sony and MS have been known to be over-promising and under-delivering they shouldn't bite somewhere when they have the same problems. If it's game wise or console wise as long if they deliver a good game in the end it wouldn't really matter if something got postponed. Otherwise a company shouldn't give a exact date anymore thay way at least nobody has expectations. Really… With these kind of message it sounds more like he is afraid xbox 360 loses out on something.

What about.. Vista will make pc games run faster and more efficiently. We will sell 10 million Xbox 360's before the comptition releases there consoles, when they sold about 7.5 million before there release and fludded the retail chain with excess stock and saying we meant sales to retail not to consumers. Telling everyone that the failure rate for the 360 was very low and within industry standards, when they knew from day one that it went on sale, that the systems had and still may have a design flaw that caused a very high number of systems to fail. Yes, they did change there warenty coverage to 3 years for the Red Ring failure problem only, but that was nearly a year and half after it being released and them knowing about the problem. In my oppinion they should have done a recall, because it is a design flaw, and replaced everyones system with a redesigned system that did not have a very high risk of failure.

Home is a perfect example of Sony struggling to match the promise with the product, although I'd rather they delay it and bring out a solid product, than rush it. I'd like more surprises in gaming. I can't remember the last time a game came out of the blue and wowed everyone. It seems publishers and developers are forced to hype everything to insurmountable proportions, for fear of not getting noticed at all. Sony certainly need to stop talking and start showing.
