Sony's PR has been #cheatmode thanks to MS.
Just wait for Xbone failure, say you won't do the same thing, and voila - success!

Funnily enough, it seems a 180 is incoming, if you look at the other thread.
Hello, I have reading comprehension problems and my opinions are heavily skewed by my biases.
...what?
He answered the question like the other hundreds of questions he answers daily, didn't even make a big deal out of it.

Awe, did that Xbox fellow get his console banned? My understanding was it was a shipping mistake? Can't blame the fellow for playing with his toy early right, is he out a console now? shame.

It's not like Shu's making a big deal out of it, he's just replying to a question on Twitter.
We're the one making a big deal out of it, and yeah, it's a non-story, really.
Was everyone at Sony put into some PR training boot camp? The change from the PS3 era is... just so insanely huge... so consistent. Everyone is on the same page. Everyone seems to have a similarly shit-eating grin sense of humour. Everyone understands who their consumer is and what to say to them. Everyone knows exactly what PS4 is for.

Next Gen Blueprint and Roadmap:
Microsoft "Do whatever we want, whenever we want, and do what we think is best for Microsoft."
Sony - "Do the exact opposite of what Microsoft does!"

Or just a, 'we looked into it and you were banned for legit reasons sorry'. It's easy to seem concerned.

They were practically served this one on a silver platter.

I always think (when looking at awesome gifs like these) what the early console war for this gen would have been like with these kinds of gifs. I imagine it would have been a complete reversal back then.
Problem is the threads. 3 of them already and counting. Thousands of posts and counting

What he didn't say:
"Haha Good luck getting one early, motherfucker!"
"Haha Good luck getting one early, motherfucker!"
I'm not surprised that you think that. Yoshida just says "no" he didn't say anything petty.
A tweet that just says "no" in response just doesn't elicit this kind of reaction from me. The surrounding hoopla is what I find silly and petty.
Damage is done...shouldn't have happened in the first place

What I like most about Yoshida's replies is that they really leave no wiggle room. He usually answers with "Yes" or "No". Simple and clear answers with no PR nonsense.
Critical Hit!

A lot of this stuff has just been handed to them on a silver platter, particularly the DRM debacle but even little stuff like this.

Well i do know they fired or removed that horrible pr from the ps3 and off course changing it internally from the company both in person and thinking a like also getting new fresh faces in who know what there doing. But they have come a long way and it shows.
which makes when he cannot make those definitive proclamations more awkward though, ala mp3/DLNA stuff ;P
pretty done

So he will only unban the guy if he follows him? lol MS PR is great, keep digging this hole you dummies.

Obviously you haven't seen the exchange.
You can't DM people who don't follow you. That's fair from the Major.

Honestly could say the same thing about your reaction, you're over analyzing this.

If it becomes a big deal, I think MS is more likely than not to make an exception for his case. Leniency during the opening salvos of a console launch isn't uncommon, to avoid bad press.
Though if Halo 5 got leaked, and someone played it, that person is going to get banned forever.
It's not exactly rocket science. Wait for MS to do something pointlessly draconian, then announce that you're not doing the pointlessly draconian thing and wait for the plaudits to roll in. You don't need PR bootcamp for that, you just need to not be pulling completely pointless dick moves for no reason.
