c'mon, son: my desire to see the actual text has nothing to do with it not being legit, & everything to do with withholding judgement until i've actually read it myself. there're documents/statements, & there're interpretations of those documents/statements. i simply prefer to do my own interpreting. as should anyone interested in informing themselves...
Shit they did a ps3 launch event 3 years before it came out?
Completey the same thing as buying the largest third party publisher in history. Completey the same thing.Kind of like how Sony actively paid to keep ff7 remake off of Xbox?
I'm sure there are PLENTY of other games that for some magical reason never made it to xbox.
But never mind that. The end goal is what matters most.
Similar to what?
There's a difference between trying to stay atop the competition and using dirty tactics to eliminate them.
Quick question though find a context in which "putting Sony out of business" is a good thing or even remotely less despicable.
Yes but people are weird, they will believe that Nintendo "love videogames" while EA "only want money", like... All of them just want money, all of them rather have no competition at all, all of them play dirty and will always try to fool us all into thinking otherwise.
It was more about the "putting sony out of business" part.
That's not a quote though; we are getting some paraphrasing likely form a lawyer who leaked the story.
look: seeing is believing. if we finally get to read this email, & it actually says 'putting sony out of business', then fine. i mean, you do realize that the statement 'it supposedly shows an Xbox exec saying that the plan around buying Activision is to put PlayStation out of business' is not a direct quote from the email, but rather a description/summation/interpretation of the email?...

You don't think they could have been talking to actiblizz then? You think these things happen over night?
Alright that's a fair point but I believe that a document that can be used in court and that has been paraphrased cannot be subject to interpretations.And in this case the reported content leave no places to doubt.
Uh.......Microsoft has the power to show us those lawyer's are full of shit.....but they aren't doing that so....
standard (legal) operating procedure...
Yeah but .. they did what you asked ...
Pretty much, yeah. They, effectively, forced Nintendo to diversify in order to continue to find success, and Sony still chase them wherever possible. Nintendo made the DS? Sony made the PSP. Nintendo made the 3DS? Sony made the PS Vita. Nintendo made the Wii? Sony made the Move. Nintendo made the Wii U / Switch? Sony's still trying to make second-screen gaming happen for their console. I'd wager there's more than just chasing trends there.
Do you have an example that is more recent than 10 years ago ?Or anything to would be anything more than just competition or copying because that's not what MS wants, it is to destroy sony, like by buying publishers for example or paying astroturfers.
No they didn't. The emails are still redacted.
That's what YOU wanted.
They didn't thoughYeah but .. they did what you asked ...
if they showed the email you would have a point but they're just trying to control the message 
and I don't blame them that's pretty much their only move it's obviously a bad email exchange
you may very well be right. but i'm still waiting to read the damn thing myself before thinking anything. i mean, what's the rush, eh? personally, i've already had more than enough time to've become revolted by some of the business practices of both these corporations. i can hold off on having a new reason for a bit...
Yep MS say they want to destroy sony and then (or even while) is talking to ABK about aquisition....There's no correlation there, it is all coincidences.In fact MS hadn't even heard about ABK before 2022.
That I can agree with wholeheartedly.But let's not pretend there isn't a disgusting double discourse from MS and a double standard by some here.
"We should buy ABK to put Sony out of business"
Grasp at all the straws you want, this is ms intentions, to quote my analogy
yeah, well, that's a very different subject. i mean, ms is gonna ms, eh? & there're 'some here' that i don't got time for & never will have...
You are not allowed to use logic on this forum. You are suppose to take things out of context or in this case assume things as long as it benefits Playstation.
no xbox. According to Phill is about offering more choices to gamers.
Agreed again, and just in case,I hope I wasn't agressive or vindicative toward you since english isn't my native language, I may sound more agressive that I would wanted to.But I assure you that in my language it was an amicable discussion.
Yes, that they should buy Activision to put PlayStation out of business. That settles it. It's been validated.
You know shit is getting spicy whenadamsapple starts leaving lol reactions to your posts.
Agreed the water got a little murkier. But claiming it was a total bust before anyone saw the exact language is bridge too far. Deals of this caliber don't get explored, signed, and set up for a closing after countless regulatory reviews in a day. You know that.
