Deceiver at the Internet Movie Database
Microsoft lies a lot. It probably would not even deny this. Several months ago, the chair of Denmark's standards committee said that Microsoft "is lying" and last week we showed that Microsoft is lying about battery issues in Vista 7.
Heavy Rain developer Quantric Dream said that Microsoft lied about Project Natal in its E3 2009 promotional video.
Cage adds that “I thought it was a little bit lying to present it that way, because it will let (consumers) think that they will (be able to get) something that they are not really close to getting.”
Heavy Rain director David Cage has claimed that Microsoft 'lied a bit' in its presentation video to show off Project Natal at E3 last year.
“Microsoft even fired an employee who said the truth.”How about Microsoft's lies regarding the error rates of Xbox 360? Microsoft even fired an employee who said the truth.
According to another couple of new reports [1, 2], Microsoft chose cheap components for Natal -- a decision that could potentially lead to massive hardware problems that have already cost Microsoft billions of dollars and harmed the image of the product/brand.
Why does the Western (especially English-speaking) press give so much coverage to Xbox anyway? Because it's the only major console that's not Japanese? The BBC may be promoting Microsoft's Natal [1, 2], but that's just because it's the BBC. Having taken so many employees from Microsoft UK, this should not be very surprising.
"Microsoft Is Letting The Lead Slip Away" says the headline of this new article.
Now currently in 2010 Microsoft is looking like the underdog and may actually be in serious trouble going into this years holiday season if certain changes aren't made to compete against the new Sony Playstation Team.
