Microsoft's Aaron Greenbeg, Director of Product Management for the Xbox 360 and Live, spoke today on promises made by Sony that they've failed to keep. Read his "speech" below.
"I know a lot of folks enjoy watching the console wars and we would never underestimate our competition. But answer to your question specifically, didn't Sony promise all of this last year including Home as well? We have been fighting Sony's promises from the day we entered the market and if you remember at that time it was all about PS2 being an online cybercity with partner announcements from the likes of RealNetworks and AOL. Then three years ago at E3 they showed what PS3 games would supposedly look like with the Killzone 2 video, that we are now learning will ship four years later. That means that we will have shipped Gears of War and Gears of War 2 before they can even get Killzone out the door," he said. "Think back to GDC 2007 when Sony promised to leap ahead in online with the Sony Home unveil. Here we are two years later and multiple delays for a product that appears to have little to no buzz. Where are the achievements? The friends list integration across all games? Where is the long-promised video store? Where are all the other products using and networking with their CELL chip? How come Blu-ray did not result in better games? What happened with Sixaxis and rumble? Where is the complete 1080p game library we were promised? If Blu-ray as they said would be such a catalyst to PS3 console sales, then why have PS3 sales over the past couple months not seen any lift since the format victory?"The regular PlayStation 3 owner will probably agree with the statements of Greenberg. He makes a valid point, as we still have not received our in-game XMB, Home, or any of the other stuff he mentioned. Games continue to come with required installation even though Blu-Ray is available. Can Sony turn this all around?

This is just viral marketing that MS does. Why don't they promote games ahead of time? I would rather see games that may get released in 2-3 years, like infamous sneak peak last E3, then have sony just pointing out MS flaws.
As for delays on games and home, I would rather have a completed project then a game that is 3/4 done.
What does MS have for next year? GoW 3 / FF13 / FF versus/ GT 5, are bigger then anything MS will have. And those are just the big name titles.
So please ignore MS PR guys. There now just grasping at strawas nwo since the "No gaes" argument is long gone. But the RRoD's are still prevalent.
Damn. Truth hurts. It's even worse when you compile all the stuff together and realize just how much Sony sucks at delivering what they have no problem preaching.
When you look at it that way the 360's 33% failure rate doesn't seem so bad when they have just about everything they could ask for minus a reliable system.
That's still a HUGE deal, no doubt, but if your one of those lucky 67% that has a working console then you have the best console on the market in terms of content, games and connectivity.

True that. Sony needs to get their ass in the game. Pronto.
1.Sony is working on Home, they are trying to make a good product rather then releasing a product none would use.
2.Killzone 2 when the showed it in 05 was a video of what they hoped the game was goign to look like. It never had a solid release date execpt last E3 it said coming in 2008. They miss that by 2 months. Probably to space it away from resistance, and to try to improve on it as much as possible.
3.I don't remember sony ever promising in game XMB, or acheivments, friends list integration,this one is up to the developers if they wish to integrate it or not.
4.Video store should be out shortly, Play TV wich is accualy alot cooler, is getting released in euriope shortly.
5.Nothing else currenly uses the cell chip. But isn't toshiba using it for theer SuC Tech. Beides this has nothign to do with the PS3.
6.Blu ray makes MGS 4 possible. And other developers such as rockstar have complained about the problem with lack of disk space and no standard HD.
7.6axis and rumble are on the PS3 so I dont' know what his point is?
8.1080p they promised that when the PS3 was in development. Besides there are more native 1080p PS3 gaems then 360. As well look at GTA4, resolution doesn't make a game look better.
9.PS3 sales are up over 175% from last year. Blu ray winning the format war probably helped. And it has outsold the 360 for the year in the US according to NDP.
So the promises sony broke are : every game will be 1080p,that was made before the PS3 specs were finalized, and the cell will have 100's of uses.
They did promise in-game XMB, it was demonstrated on the pre-release on IGN and also on stage at GC 2005, I think it was.
Your right, but the 1st time it was promised was in Jan 2008. It may have been there before the PS3 released but it was never promised.
So if its not here by 09 then its a broken promise, but its just somthing that will be coming soon.
he can eat the shit he's talking.
not even all of that is true.
Hey look, a microsoft guy hating on Sony..wow now thats some uncommon shit right there.
He's just preying on sony's weaknesses. Who cares? Microsofts gonna crash anyway.
Many people play the game maybe feel that they were too poor, some of my friend often ask, why you play games so there is ghost gen.
Say good pull so much I do not pull hedge with the US to talk about the game experience to make ghost online gen. I want to see if there is nothing worth ghost gold things and a very low price. The most important thing is you have ghost online gold. Also we have a good time happy in the game and hope earned more ghost money in the game.
