Opinions can be wrong. For example, I'm not going to claim there's a drought on Xbox One just because I don't find any of the games appealing, because that would be stupid of me.
It is not about "fun not being allowed" it is just that it wasn't funny at all.
Seems like they were desperate to reply when they could very well have remained quiet and made a better impression by doing absolutely nothing.
Just no.

Shtick? Anyway...
From where I stand, there's currently only one worthwhile PS4 exclusive title, Resogun. So to me, there's a terrible drought. You're free to disagree.

Heh, I remember that.
I also remember that those were fan-made captions, not SP trying to start memes.
Because humour is totally objective...

I laughed too hard. It was inappropriate. Sorry.This just gets more and more appropriate over time
Hey I found it funny. Different perspectives I guess. It wasn't hilarious by any means, but I giggled. It was funny because they also made a great point.

The other posters who commented on the arrogance?

Guys I didn't enjoy anything on the xbox 360 when I owned one for 6 years. Therefore the drought because reasons.
The thirst has never been realer.

Wasn't it content made by Sucker Punch to be used specifically for a Meme contest?

The joke is so bad to begin with I cannot even imagine how one could counter it.

Is that it? I need more dirt from you Sony. Really MS just dropped the thing they spoke about 99% of the time at their reveal.
This industry is getting to cuddly.

Yes I can really see many posters saying this was PS2 level Sony arrogance. /s

Sony needs to be really careful with how they handle themselves in the wake of this news. No longer do they have such a clear advantage. This kind of mocking will really just be seen as hubris and we all know how well that worked out for them last generation. If I were Sony France I would fire the person who made such an insensitive and hurtful joke.

lol, I love your posts Neuromancer. They get me every time.

PS2 level arrogance is telling people the next gen only starts when Sony says so. This is just a worthless jab.
You had me until the bolded.

I can't believe how bothered some of you are by a single tweet; a friendly jab at the competition. Some of you need to take a step and reevaluate things if something this minute garners such salty reactions.

As much as I dislike most changes that Microsoft have introduced under outside pressure (and that goes way back to the abandonment of the original Xbox One vision), I have to commend the fact that they've managed to adapt so quickly. Perhaps it's not the way that I would've managed the crisis, but had Nintendo acted that swiftly, for instance, they wouldn't be languishing in their pit now.
At the same time, Sony have all the right to be smug. Regardless of what I might think about it, their original vision has really resonated with a large part of the core gaming audience, and now Microsoft are doing everything they can to ape it.

Ce nest pas vraiment ce que j'appelle une bonne publicité de faire ce genre d'annonce mais soit
This is not really what I call a good publicity too to make this kind of joke but different companies and strategies.

I still think Sony would be wise to drop the PS4 price by $50.
They need to respond to MS's moves in some fashion.

We'll see what happens at E3.
I really doubt they'll drop the price though; they're still selling really well at the current price point.
Lol, it's like 2 posters. You could have just quoted them.

They need to lose some NPDs to start thinking ''moves in some fashion''.

You'll see Knack or Killzone bundled before a price drop happens. Perhaps even 3 months of Plus

Nah, they have the sales momentum and good word of mouth. If the PS4 stops selling like gangbusters any time soon then maybe they have to do something, but right now all they need to do is just keep on doing their thang. Plus they'll announce a bunch of awesome games at E3, and that's really all they need.

Especially in France...
Why? They can't even keep the thing in stock right now!
Why drop profitability when you're smashing your competition anyway.
If they're behind their projection, that should be reason enough but if they're smashing them too why lose money over that ?

Maybe they know what their E3 line-up is relative to Microsoft?
Hell if they have Project Beast, Uncharted 4 and Last Guardian they can basically be as cocky as they want.

My PS3 stayed the same too and it still has baffling issues that never got addressed.
Perfection.
