Microsoft pops up at PS3 launch
Microsoft didn't exactly turn up to wish Sony luck last night, but it did make a few crafty moves to remind everyone that it was doing this over a year ago.
In England, at Sony's Virgin Megastore London launch, friendly men approached people in the queue offering tired bums a seat. Their fold-out chairs bore the words, "Shouldn't have kept you waiting" with a URL, www.shkyw.org (Really neat website! ) Cheeky!
Microsoft UK also sent journalists 168 cans of lager with a note declaring that there are better way to spend GBP 146 - the difference in price between Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We were going to take a photograph, but unfortunately they sent them to Eurogamer TV editor Johnny Minkley, and now there are no longer 168.
Meanwhile in Paris, France, the PlayStation 3 launch took place within sight of the river - and guess what happened to be floating along nearby? Why, a massive riverboat bearing the slogan, "Xbox 360 (heart) you", of course.
Nice to see the marketing money getting a good work out, then, even if they should have used it all to make people buy Viva Piņata instead.
Typical of Microsoft to do stuff like that, trying to take away Sony's thunder because they know the PS3 is gonna kill them, It's kind of annoying really.
Over the past year since the 360 came out all I ever see from Microsoft is a ton of trash talking about how much better the 360 is, even though Microsoft failed at something Sony excelled in:
Actually putting Next-Gen Hardware in their Next-Gen Console....>_>
