Aww. Every now and then we get a bit caught up in who is better, which system is more powerful, and which games have more pixels or frames. That means we forget the heart of it all – the video games, and how brilliant it is when companies try to make some boxes which you can play them on.
Microsoft and Sony have traditionally been considered competitors, so it’s nice to see the Xbox twitter account congratulating the PlayStation account for their launch.
It’s also a good way for them to get endless retweets on the PS4 launch day, but let’s ignore that part and focus on how nice it is. It’s such a good move from Microsoft, and some of the best marketing they’ve done for Xbox recently.
Let’s hope the rest of this generation is as lovely as today.

Well, the launch hasn’t gone without a hitch, PSN was, for the most part, down all day, and the store has been down all day. I found it extremely hard to set up my PS4 due to these conditions. So, is MS just trying to rub it in, or are they being honest?

I think that anyone’s inner sceptic could be forgiven for thinking Microsoft might have been having a sarcastic dig at Sony with the PS4 account creation/activation black hole alongside the market stall wobbley HDMI connectors that seem to have plagued a few consoles.
But in the cold light of day I think that Micrsoft were genuinely congratulating Sony on the launch and wishing them the best, possibly with tongues firmly placed in cheeks. :O
