I found this Kotaku piece quite amusing... a little fun squabble between execs at both companies
http://kotaku.com/sonys-latest-shot-at-microsoft-comes-on-a-t-shirt-you-1231834104

Lets go back to E3 where Phil Spencer had decided to have a certain dress change in which he wore mutiple indie studios t-shirts through out the day
like this:

and this:

and lastly this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well...

Last night, Sony held an indie showcase event at Neumo's, a Seattle music venue that epitomized underground cool. PlayStation exec Adam Boyes took the stage to re-affirm the company's commitment to working with indies and third-party partners and announced a handful of new games. Whiles most of the games looked intriguing, it was Boyes' t-shirt that might have been the sassiest thing in the spotlight last night.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In case you can't make it out, the words on the shirt say "Token Indie Logo." Boyes wore it under a blazer, mimicking the look that Microsoft's Phil Spencer sported during the Xbox E3 presentation this year. When asked about it, Boyes answered "I don't know what you're talking about" with a smirk

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it doesn't end there on twitter Phil Spencer tweeted about the shirt:

Funny @amboyes and I'm getting one of those shirts.

https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/373874314442858496

Only to replied by Adam

@XboxP3 I can arrange that! Congrats on choosing @iocat to run ID. He's an amazing guy.

https://twitter.com/amboyes/status/373880471752433665

And lastly Microsoft's Mike Ybarra, partner studio manager for Microsoft Studios, the internal Xbox game development studio system run by Spencer with a sharper reply of:

@XboxP3 I'm going to get one that says "AAA, remember it?"

https://twitter.com/XboxQwik/status/373879871434280960

Oh no you didn't

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So GAF you do guys like the new attitude between Sony or MS or do you think it getting a little hectic for your liking... or lastly do you just don't give a heck about it as long as they step up with their games

...for me I just want their shirts

chubigans · Aug 31, 2013

Hahah, I totally want that shirt.

Wario64 · Aug 31, 2013

What's the 3rd Spencer shirt? Also, I didn't realized he changed shirts, lol

RoboPlato · Aug 31, 2013

This is fun. I can't wait to see what the reply to "AAA, remember it?" is.

Xbox one has more AAA games i suppose?

TheRealTalker · Aug 31, 2013

I really want to know how they got those shirts to begin with... probably custom made

they really should sell them

Didn't you get the memo? The Order is the last AAA game from Sony WWS. After that they all start making indie games.

Meus Renaissance · Aug 31, 2013

I don't understand the AAA joke

They should sell them and put the profits toward the Pub Fund. I'd buy one.

It's either, AAA remember it (those) MS lacking in AAA the past few years or AAA, Remember it, as in they will have the huge titles.

How many do they actually develop? Who has more in development 1st party?

Does that include free copies of FIFA to help boost pre-orders?

Gaz_RB · Aug 31, 2013

Man Microsoft needs more of this kind of PR. They're running XB1 PR like its Windows 8, and that's not the way to do it.

The PS3's lineup in 2013 vs the 360's for the last 3 years

Tripon · Aug 31, 2013

Chocolate & Vanilla · Aug 31, 2013

Broken Joystick · Aug 31, 2013

I can't wait until it just becomes banter between the official Xbox and Playstation Twitter accounts, that would be amazing.

I want these shirts.

That wouldn't make a good shirt.

Ricerocket · Aug 31, 2013

Gotta love the pot shots taken by competitors

Nokterian · Aug 31, 2013

MS...

SgtCobra · Aug 31, 2013

Nice comeback by Mike haha, I'm wondering how Adam will counter that (easy one)

USC-fan · Aug 31, 2013

Don't get AAA joke.

Pretty funny stuff with the shirts.

R3TRODYCE · Aug 31, 2013

DAT AAA tweet LOL!

Drencrom · Aug 31, 2013

I want Boyes shirt

l3lacklvlagic said:

He's insinuating that just because they have a bigger indie commitment than them means they aren't focused on AAA games I guess.

Samyy · Aug 31, 2013

AgentP said:

I believe MS has actually expanded and technically has more studios, not sure how many teams per studio so its pretty hard to tell.

I think he's trying to take a shot at all the Indie games Sony in bringing to PS4.

He seems rather salty to me.

What ?

It's MS having a dig at Sony "only having Indy games"

ND and SSM are making endless runners with Vita cross buy.

Fable not AAA title

Miles Quaritch · Aug 31, 2013

State of Decay and Capy tees are boss as fuck. I need them. Boyes tee smacks of crazy levels of salt.

This whole thing seems dumb. If this translates into Peter Moore lift sleeve tattoo level im all for it though.

Wat??

TheRealTalker · Aug 31, 2013

they really should make this into a war of shirts... where they don't say anything about the competition yet they're shirts say otherwise

HORRORSHØW · Aug 31, 2013

PS4=$400 ouya

Sony has well over a dozen 1st party studios. Unless you can show otherwise, I don't think so.

Salty of what? XB1's rich Indie portfolio?

Ebomb · Aug 31, 2013

Sony 2005-6 aaa releases = 360 2013 lineup. Sony had to support the PS3 longer after there horrendous start. Both seem to have the same amount of prime years. Not sure why people forget the early years in the current gen when making bold claims about next gen aaa 1st party.

FlyStarJay · Aug 31, 2013

haha loving the war

RadarScope1 · Aug 31, 2013

Awesome Boyes shirt. I like it.

BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO · Aug 31, 2013

Why would you make the AAA joke towards the company with the largest amount of "AAA" studios, makes no sense.
