This is really going to backfire. Are the French not good at marketing?

Literally nothing about it will backfire. It's not that big of a deal. Just a friendly indirect jab at MS.

 

[bidguy]

this is gonna blow back if they have a poor showing at e3

they absolutely have to bring it now

 

[jimi_dini]

PS4: nothing shitty to remove

Multiplayer fee?

 

[Coconut]

Ps4 does what Xbox one don't.

 

[Tsundere]

Yes really. This is PS2 level Sony arrogance.

Hyperbole of the day.

 

[Saty]

Said the company that just recently backtracked on a shitty decision. #4theplayers.

 

[Wickerbasket]

I think it reeks of arrogance and unprofessionalism. I hate when Microsoft and Nintendo do it, but Sony were once the kings of this nonsense, and it looks like they're back at it.

Well, you're entitled to think what you want.

I'm sure most people will just see it as the playful jab that it is though. It's just a reminder that Sony have stayed consistent in their vision for the PS4.

 

[RE_Player]

I love how we are over analyzing Sony as a corporation based on a tweet from a France twitter account that is probably run by an intern or social media person so far down the totem pole.

 

[Sporty]

So some guy doing a post on France's twitter, probably with no real inside knowledge or power, working for or on behalf of Sony, saying nothing has changed for PS4 is now considered arrogant?

Wow, some people read way too much into things and get emotionally uptight over such trivial things.

That is really reaching for a reason to justify bias.

 

[enzo_gt]

It's like a joke without the punch.

 

[Metallix87]

Multiplayer fee?

Yeah. Also, didn't they just completely do a 180 on DriveClub's Plus version?

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Worst comes to worst if the tweet gets enough backlash Sony France will give up the fight and take it away.

 

[Impeccable]

Holy shit, some of the first legitimate salt I have seen on here in awhile, chill out guys it is just a tweet.

 

[francknara]

Sony back to the 1st place is not a good deal if you want my honest opinion.


No need for games as long as they sell without games.


Plus, Sony France is a joke (I live in France). A big, bad joke.


Edit: Obviously talking about Sony games... EA, Ubisoft & co will always be there.

I am pretty confused myself.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

I like when companies do this, like Coke and Pepsi.

 

[Wagram]

I thought it was funny. Nothing to get worked up about.

 

[Frodo]

Amazing.


There is nothing bad to removed from PS4... that what I understood... shows confidence and strong policies for the players since beginning.

Like putting online behind a pay-wall #4theplayers.

Or trying to make a $50 purchase be tied to your PS+ subscription #4theplayers (and back-pedalling afterwards because of the pressure).

I'm not so sure about these policies for the players you speak of. Both companies sound greedy to me.

And it is not like they didn't change any plan at all. That huge LED on the DS4 is proof of that. The only difference is that they never publicly announced that they planned to ship every system with a camera before they decided to drop it.

On topic: completely unnecessary response that does nothing to improve their image. Silence would be better, in my opinion. They are on a strong leadership position now. No need to get desperate.

Back at it? They never stopped with fun little jabs

 

[ohlawd]

I wanted to post this.

 

[MrPregnantBear]

Holy shit, some of the first legitimate salt I have seen on here in awhile, chill out guys it is just a tweet.

Or..their first corporate response towards a competitors news in their industry.

 

[Tsundere]

Yeah. Also, didn't they just completely do a 180 on DriveClub's Plus version?

No. They changed the way add-ons work for the DriveClub Upgrade though.

 

[Vashetti]

Multiplayer fee?

If you don't have Plus you're doing it wrong.

 

[esterk]

Heh, i love when social media accounts (sometimes no faces, sometimes faces) make little jabs here and there.

Yep. I like this as well. I find most of the time it's all in good fun and competition and not anything hateful, which is great.

 

[sublimit]

I love how we are over analyzing Sony as a corporation based on a tweet from a France twitter account that is probably run by an intern or social media person so far down the totem pole.

I'm pretty sure that Yoshida could have made the same funny remark.

 

[Metallix87]

Holy shit, some of the first legitimate salt I have seen on here in awhile, chill out guys it is just a tweet.

I'm not salty. I just see the PS4 as a system doing well despite a terrible software drought, and I don't want it going to Sony's head. Arrogance damaged the PS brand enough the last time around.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

I think it reeks of arrogance and unprofessionalism. I hate when Microsoft and Nintendo do it, but Sony were once the kings of this nonsense, and it looks like they're back at it.

"They"?

Probably some low paid halfwit in charge of SF twitter account trying to be clever, I doubt they got approval from any high ups at Sony to post it.

Some people are reading too much into it, christ.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

PS4 has no games?

 

[Dragon1893]

Damn, this really rubbed some people the wrong way lol.
Lighten up folks.

 

[Kinyou]

That would be stupid. Why do they need to take a cut when PS4 is selling out and is in high demand.

Sure, but when I clicked on the thread I imagined that they'd actually make a counter offer.

What are you talking about?

They already have and announced more games than their competitor without revealing what most of their 1st party studios are working.... and have you ever heard of the PS1 and PS2?

 

[Live Free or Die]

Brilliant.

 

[Mael]

1) It's twitter
2) It's Sony France
3) It's a joke

No one will care about this AT ALL,
gamers will take it as a joke and move on,
mainstream are not even sure what this twitter thing is
fanboys will get their panties twisted in a bunch but then again they would have if Sony France commented on the weather anyway.

And as far as the situation goes in France I doubt MSFT could try anything at this point to reverse their fortune relative to the ps4.
The situation here is settled and over since last e3 at least.

 

[Lambda Pie]

rather harmless jab there but that didn't keep the thread from turning into shit in record time. jesus.

 

[DrM]

Well, they can boast as much as they want, because X1 will be toasted on mainland Europe even after price cut.

 

[Wickerbasket]

I'm not salty. I just see the PS4 as a system doing well despite a terrible software drought, and I don't want it going to Sony's head. Arrogance damaged the PS brand enough the last time around.

What software drought? I've been playing new games every month.

 

[maquiladora]

Didn't find it funny, but seems totally harmless.

People are legit salty over this? Oh my,.,.

LOL wow

Opinions

 

[the_champ]

Sony's not neutering the functionality of its device.

These kind of Sony troll twitters are so... 2005 MS.

 

[Terbinator]

Sony confirmed to surrender their sales lead in France, then?

 

[BananaSprinkles]

It's a comical little jab by some random person running a twitter account. I'm pretty sure the only people that will be offended by this are people who already disliked all things Sony.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I'm not salty. I just see the PS4 as a system doing well despite a terrible software drought, and I don't want it going to Sony's head. Arrogance damaged the PS brand enough the last time around.

Where's that chart....

 

[tmespe]

God forbid people working at companies having a bit of friendly competitive fun! Won't someone think of the children!

 

[gruenel]

Wow, people are so oversensitive these days. The slightest jab at the competition and folks talk about arrogance and unprofessionalism.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Twitter and winky faces...serious business!!

 

[QaaQer]

Hyperbole of the day.

.

this thread, so much funny.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Are you doing the whole indie games aren't real games shtick? Or you just ignorant?

 

[Metallix87]

Where's that chart....

I'm not surprised that you would disagree with me.

Le salt on video games. C 'est like an escargot with Le salt non?
