Remember Microsoft's claims that, like-for-like, its £130 Kinect offered the best motion-control money could buy? Remember the chart it showed us all to 'prove' it? Sony's Kevin Butler's replied. You know what happens next.
Featured on Sony's semi-official new 'Move Vs Stuff' website (is that a reactive potshot we detect?) are a couple of 'instructive' images that will no doubt infuriate the firm's rivals.
A 'sensible' chart appears on the site's homepage, comparing Move, Kinect and Wii with a serious face.
As well as defining all of Move's good points, it takes a cheeky swipe at both Kinect and Nintendo's Wii. Both are only given one positive 'tick' each on the chart - in the desultory category of having a power cable.
Kevin's smug face beams out from the side, as the tagline borrows from the official PS3 ad zinger. It reads: 'It only does... way more than they do'.
However, click through far enough and you'll find an even more ballsy sell (pictured), which goes so far to give an old 'hoop on a stick' more kudos than its rivals - because at least it will 'remind grandma of her youth'.
Funny. Ludicrously arrogant, highly debatable. But funny.
We reviewed PlayStation Move last week. The long and short of it? The tech's great; the launch line-up less so.
Haha are you guys serious? Have you even seen that site? It's hilarious. I'm gonna have to assume that you guys are just upset xbots, get over it because it's damn funny

Not sure you'd find it "hilarious" if it was Microsoft doing about Sony... I own all three consoles and I'm in nobody's corner, I just find the advertising sad, boring and desperate on Sony's part and its what Sony always do when they are trying to counter threats from the competition. Would they be putting the competition down so much if they weren't in third place in the market or fearing what their rivals have? I some how doubt it.
Nothing to do with "lighting up" I enjoy a laugh as much as anyone else , Its just not funny when its the same thing over and over. Its why I didn't like Little Britain, same jokes over and over again, If you still laugh over and over at the same jokes it must mean your easily amused.
Lol this seems like something off /v/... where as Xbox only includes small things like Sky and ESPN and only little things like HD movie streaming... Full HD graphics does not come with RDR or any 3D game.... and controll feed back you can feel and see is from a normal controllor or wii... ps3 advertising is simply sad these days anyone remember the mindf**k adverts they used to do which were amazing?
Well this is why i dont frequent this site as much as i did, no offence if you like XBOX (good for you) , but the fanboyism (360 wise) round here makes my skin crawl...everybody complained about Sony's initial advertising campaign ( Eww creepy) then when they come up with something genuinely good (And funny in Kevin Butler) then its classed as same old Sony using their same old marketing tricks??? eh?? have i missed summat here?? IT'S CALLED SATIRE! F'ing fanboys
I can't say I find the ads funny myself... I think it comes from the fact I love my combat sports and there is so much smack talking between opponents, I always want the cocky git to get his words rammed back down his throat. That bloke is good at making me want to axe kick him in the face
Enough! You cocky cock! You'll pay for your crimes against humanity.

What I find really funny is that of all the items they list only 2 relate to Move or even having Move, which kind of smacks of desperation in marking your console out. I'm pretty sure that the HD graphics and 3D are there on PS3 without Move! So what's the point in them using this chart as a Kinect comparison at all. So very dumb.

How thick are you lot??? IT'S CALLED SATIRE! (google the word if you f**king have too) jesus wept...
Infact with the denseness on show here, i've gone to the trouble of finding the Wiki for you (One assumes you'll have trouble using google)
