There is something wrong with a company who puts out a tweet like that in the first place. There is also something wrong if you can’t see that, but hey, that’s on you.

I truly don’t understand why *advertising games coming to your platform, too* is petty. Educate me.
Read the tweet. Educate yourself.
I read it. What am I missing? You’re the one accusing pettiness. Explain it. Are you not able to?
Obvious questions really don't need an answer. That boy really struggles and now passionately tries to be thread king by getting the most posts.
Yes, and many others understood. It's not on me if you don't.
They do it also.
Examples? Particularly after a showcase, a recent showcase. When have either of the other two said anything like that?
I don’t see how it’s petty to point out games that are coming to your platform. They’re just educating people that what you saw in the last Nintendo Direct, or State of Play, it doesn’t mean that they’re console exclusives, that it just means that they were announced in a platform holder's broadcast, but they’re still multiplatform. And not to put too fine a point on it, but you have to look up on Google or find the publisher’s separate upload of these trailers to find out all the other platforms these games are coming to. It’s honestly rather annoying.
I can see why you may not take it that way, but to me, there's a way to go about it. No, just the act of saying those games are coming to your platform isn't petty. Agreed. However, Microsoft's way of doing it (timing, context, etc) just reeks of desperation. It's that "heyy, look at me. I exist too" sort of response.
Says the boy with almost 20 posts in this thread.
My man, your name is SmurfMustard. "Boy" couldn't be funnier.

did or are you here to just tell me that you were somehow bothered by that sentence?
I’m not an “Xbox fan”, I typically own all 3 current-gen platforms by the end of a cycle. Not anymore than I’m a “Nintendo fan” or a “PS fan”. Rather, I’m a fan of great games and I’ll buy whatever hardware I need to in order to play them.
Oh, I didn't mean you specifically. More of a general statement.
You're the one hogging this thread like you life depends on it, no one else is in a tizzy.In any event, do you actually have a reasonable rebuttal as
I mean, you quoted me. Last time I checked, if you don't want someone to engage, you don't quote them.
That's usually how message boards work.
You're right. Message boards allow you to post freely. Glad we agree.
I'm sure Microsoft would love the free advertising of their software by Sony. You make it seem as if that would be some sort of "burn" against MS.
Funny because I never gave my opinion about this....in fact you can see that I don't give a f about tweets from company A,B,C...because guess what people that manage this accounts are people that are good to post things to give clicks...There is something wrong with a company who puts out a tweet like that in the first place. There is also something wrong if you can’t see that, but hey, that’s on you.
I realize you’re struggling, but yup, perfectly fine.
I mean chicken → egg. We're having this discussion because a multi-trillion dollar company was somehow "triggered" by a showcase from its closest competitor. That's really it. Us bickering is only a response and I certainly don't see you or anyone else here as an enemy.
I think you are reading an awful lot into it. It probably took a low-salary person on the marketing team 5 minutes to get that tweet up, and they might not have even needed higher-up approval for it. It doesn’t read as something that rises to the level of petty, to me anyway. Obviously we’ll just agree to disagree on that.
Who would actually be “embarrassed”for them, for pointing out that a bunch of third party games are also available on their platform to their customers, though? Some of you guys take console stuff waaaaaay too…… zealously…… go touch grass
Nonsense sir. I demand satisfaction. Pistols at dawn! Bring your second and a coffin.
Well Xbox just had a show today where basically every single game except an Age of Mythology expansion is on PlayStation so I guess we'll find out.
They don't have to. Almost everything goes to PS. If it doesn't, the press and fans hound whoever is putting out the game until its clarified. Even timed exclusive deals have to have a statement put out explaining how long the contract is so PS gamers can know exactly when its coming, like Rise of the Tomb Raider or Stalker 2. Threads of Time dev just issued a statement on twitter within the hour after their trailer. It's a pretty normal thing for people to wonder which systems games are coming out on and ask about it.
You make like this that post was some kind of "burn" against Sony... it's all about having fun bruh don't take this console shit so serious.
I too am and old man.
