France, why would anyone want to live there?

Because stupid reactionary actions make more financial sense than business logic.
Hmm...I don't think that's necessary. All they have to do is show some gameplay footage of the games they announced last year and announce some new games.
That + the rumored PS1/PS2 emulation, PS Now details, and the first retail PS+ game would more than enough.

A lot of NaCl in this thread. It is just a funny joke. I love it when big companies do things like this.
This is the real news
Yes, truly. Forcing peripherals and anti-consumer practices on your costumers however is not arrogant at all.

They've reached PS2 level arrogance. God dammit.
Bwahaha, the salt over a tweet which even had a smiley face. Back in the days it was much better.

This pretty much, though they didn't have to respond to it either.

Some people really can't handle the bantz. A little jab isn't going to cause Microsoft to run to it's room crying.

Stating the obvious in a playful manner is arrogance?

When did this notion that opinions can't be wrong occur?
The fun part about this is that in the end the 360 did worse than the ps3 in France...
Like before the slim or sometihng.
The only thing wrong with this post is that it's too ironic

Indeed. Clearly a slight jab on twitter from a regional social media grunt is 100% equivalent to the president of SCEA getting on stage at E3 and declaring that "The Console War is Over" and proceeding to call out their competitors with names and numbers.

Sony should stop with this line of trolling. When you are below, you can troll, but when you are on top you need to know when to stop, and it's not that funny any more.
They beat the Xbone, they are No1 on console business, so punching a fallen dude will do nothing for them.
They should be saying stuff like "it's good, because we need a healthy MSFT, it's good for the whole business".
Just my opinion.

French Sony: You don't frighten us, American pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called "King of entertainment devices," you and all your silly Kinect-less Xboxens.
Smart? I hope I never work under your company.

Losing money when you don't have to always leads to profits /s
Increase the value and offer the games, everything will be fine. You are still getting the more powerful system for less money.
MS will have low May sales due to this announcement coming so soon. No one is going to spend $100 extra now when the price drop is so near.

The doing nothing for free PR shtick only works when MS is doing something staggeringly stupid.

You don't joke without /s everyone knows that.
It is smart. Right now, at $399, which one provides more value to the average consumer? PS4 with it's gaming oriented features or Xbox One and it's media features? The PS4 can't even play MP3's yet and Xbox already caught up with the streaming features.
There are +70m PS3's and 360's, there are tonnes of gamers yet to buy a current gen console. They shouldn't do tweets like they are the winners and the best, they should emphasize why PS4 is the better choice.
A tweet saying, "Here is a picture of the most powerful $399 console in June 6", would be much better.
I agree. They probably already made tonnes of money just by selling them separately.

Hey if you'd rather just let the competition make all the moves first, OK then!
I hope I run the company yours competes against. Not very ambitious.
I find this attitude that just because you're in 1st place, you should be lax to be naive.

Major Nelson loved ignoring the rest of the world. That's the only reason he was able to take shots at the PS3. On average, the PS3 sold more per year than the X360, so I don't get where their arrogance stemmed from.
