Did they also cancel out on the Kooch?MS can cancel on GiantBomb like they can cancel on Geis.

So let me get this straight. They made two scheduling mistakes?
Yes I do. They're a very Xbox/PC-centric site. The majority of quicklooks and TNT games played are either xbox or PC, Patrick is the one person there who seems to have spent more time with PS3, which is what my post is about. I don't think he's a Sony fanboy, or the others are MS fanboys though.
PS3 135,021 (+4%) 77,448,493
X360 89,102 (-1%) 77,400,771
I don't know how the PS brand can recover from this dominance.
Sony fans seem to be so high on all the bad PR fumes coming from MS right now that they've completely forgotten how the PS3 struggled to make a dent in the market, and how it took Sony freaking 6 years to even tie with MS.
Get off your horse and listen: I love their current position: They're back at a point where they actually matter and could lead again, but they have to remain hungry to do so. Complacency is not an option. That's why I'm looking forward to the PS4.
It's not going to be sabotaged by a complacent arrogant as shit 2006 Sony. It will be supported by a hungry rejuvenated Sony that actually wants to fight.
The same was true for MS when they launched the 360, and why it was one of the best consoles I ever owned.
My favorite thing about these recent Microsoft bad news threads are the "Hey, so the story was only partially true, so we can just close this thread now" posts.
"Scheduling conflict"
was the same excuse they gave for canceling the e3 Q&A right?
Jesus... Do you spend any time on GB? They're about the most platform agnostic guys you'll find because generally speaking, they don't give a shit about pretty much anything. Patrick is the closest to someone who cares about anything that you'll find on GB, but claiming he's near being a Sony fanboy? I just don't understand people.

Why do I even bother explaining myself, people are in crazy mode anyway...
where did you get these numbers
This isn't even close to true. Lets not be disingenuous.
Or how about the thread was made and has grown on the basis that Microsoft are choosing not to answer the questions at all, when that is clearly false and has been debunked?
Kotaku, for what it's worth, have been very good at hassling Microsoft on DRM issue and there are countless others too.
Well it's pretty understandable. Just like publishers, the press doesn't want to sour ties with what they expect to be the dominant platform holder.
Remember, Sony is playing catch-up, and have mattered very little this last generation.
I think a site with a Z on the end maybe?
Actually, MS selectively cancelling interviews seems far more worrying for me than cancelling all of them.

You recognize all this, and you don't see the parallels in the hubris exhibited by Sony 7 years ago and what's exhibited by Microsoft this time? Did anyone expect a 120 million console that dominated a generation to turn around and barely tie for last place the next one? The same thing could certainly happen to MS, and they didn't even sell near the 120 million.
And they're not hungry. They're completely complacent and Sony caught them with their pants down. They're scrambling to not suck and not riding a wave of hunger to propel them forward.

Care to elaborate being just saying I'm wrong?
Yes.
Hahahahahahahahaha.

Did microsoft start the E3 drinking game early..?

I'm sure they'll excuse Microsoft for this as well.Wasn't Gerstmann mocking forum dwellers yesterday for being mad about the roundtable cancellation. Saying how stupid and clueless we were? Certain irony about GB getting their 1 on 1s cancelled.
I was about to suggest a drinking game where every time we hear about bad Xbox news we take a drink.
You think the PR guy doing PR deflecting ends things? Really!??!
damn right! funny how we used the same face :>edit: damn, beaten
This strategy has to work, they've spent 1 billion on it.
