Here you go sir, this shit sandwhich has slightly less filling than the other one. Seriously, MS might be worse in this regard, but you haven't addressed the point. Finding an *EVEN* *WORSE* offender does not excuse or address it in any way. And from what I remeber, they did try to cover it up until it became so bad that it was impossible.
The post I was replying to concludes that the Xbox One was a better system because of things Sony had done.
My post was just refuting that by pointing out that MS is just as bad.
Sony is actually a number of different divisions operating under a single name.
Owned by the same company: it is the same company. So what that it's a different division. Clearly the corporate head is fine with their divisions abusing their customers.
And by the same token, Microsoft's Microsoft Devices and Studios Group and Microsoft Operating Systems Engineering Group are owned by the same company.
The point I was trying to make is that you can either include all the divisions owned by each company or just the console divisions. However, pointing out something bad done by a different division of one company while at the same time dismissing things done by different divisions done at the other company because it "has nothing to do with their console" (yes, GGP said that to me in his latest reply) is intentionally misrepresenting things. Either way, both companies have done some pretty heinous things over the years.
Personally, I have no intention of buying any consoles this generation, which is a change from owning all 3 from last generation. At this point, I'd just rather use my PC.
