Microsoft Cockblocking Sony Again

Thursday February 5th was a pretty big day for gamers who own a 360 and a PS3 as two huge demos were released, one for each console. First off in the red corner you have the PS3 with it's great white hype Killzone 2. Yea, you had to preorder the game at that shit hole full of morons in Gamestop to get a code to download the demo but it seems to have worked as an estimated 1.2 million people have preordered it.

In the blue corner you have the defending champion the Xbox 360 with it's huge franchise Halo's first endeavorer into the strategy realm… well first endeavorer that was release to the public… as Halo was originally designed to be a strategy game on the PC before it made the jump to FPS and on the Xbox.

And once gain the Xbox 360 comes out victorious. No I'm not reviewing the demos for Halo Wars and Killzone 2 but Microsoft just did a better job getting the demo out. The demo for Halo Wars was available far before the Killzone 2 demo. Microsoft released the Halo Wars demo around midnight 2AM CST while Sony didn't allow the Killzone 2 demo until the Playstation Store was updated in the early evening. So Microsoft was able to get to gamers with their product before Sony as is the case FAR too often.

This begs the question, did Microsoft plan this to rain on Sony's parade? This gamer thinks so, and I like the strategy. Microsoft knows that Sony is running out of bullets. When I preordered my copy of Killzone 2 a few weeks ago they of course asked me if I would like to preorder any other games. So I showed them hope for a second and asked what big PS3 exclusives are coming out? I got only one answer, God of War 3 and that might not even be out this year! Yea, I know Gamestop is full of fuck-tards but they are trained to sell games and they could only sell me one game for the PS3, that is sad.

I love my PS3, I think it is a much nicer piece of hardware than the 360. It doesn't feel like it is built out of paper mache, I don't have to worry about getting red ringed every time I power it on, it serves as a Blu Ray player and I think the PSN games blow Xbox Live's Arcade Games out of the water.

With that said the people at Sony are probably in the same boat with the Gamestop people, fucking clueless. Sony is running a solid piece of hardware with a high definition video player into the ground and not learning from the great number of mistakes they have made.

Well I'm depressed now, thank a lot Sony. Just go and take a big step back… and literally, FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!

Well go read my previews for Killzone 2 and Halo Wars. I promise I will be back to bitch more about Sony.
