Setting an Example?

Oh dear, they're at it again. Once more, the tiring and meaningless war of worlds between Sony and Microsoft hits the headlines as Sony President Kaz Hirai talks royally out of his arse about the PS3.

Highlights are claiming no-one has done a worldwide console launch before; that Resistance: Fall of Man would be impossible to achieve without blu-ray drives and then he makes some weak excuses about the lack of blu-ray diodes. Yawn.

Again, Sony Executive's comments come across as embarrasingly arrogant. These comments appeared in the Blu-Ray Daily publication and presumably Hirai thought that no-one would be reading a daily publication about a "doomed" format and could get away with saying what ever he wanted!

And Microsoft are no better. Give it a couple of days and one of their executives will be saying the PS3 is for lepers or something along those lines. All very grown up guys.

It's increasingly dissapointing to see these top business men squabbling like fansite owners over who's console is best. It's cock waving at it's highest level.

So, I ask this? If Microsoft Executives are willing to sit there and publically slag off their opponents in the East. Why is it that the same behavoir isn't tolerated at lower levels? What a joke! If the Games Industry's top bods can't behave and be professional then why should mere fansite owners like me bother?

They're hardly setting a good example and undermining their own companies rules by having a pop at each other. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are all guilty parties in these embarrasing little wars of words and in my opinion they should shut up and get on with making awesome games consoles.
