PS3 LIE WATCH: SONY ONCE AGAIN ATTEMPTS TO BLAME “LIMITED STOCK” FOR PS3’S TERRIBLE SHOWING
The enemy is again attempting to rewrite history before the war is even over! Speaking to IGN and quoted by Eurogamer, Peter Dille, the enemy’s Senior Vice President of Marketing (Marketing = LIES), tried to blame stock shortages for the dismal showing of his console.
Peter, THERE WAS NO STOCK SHORTAGE. We were there. We remember what happened. It was only two-and-a-half years ago. We saw it happen. We documented it as it happened. Your pieces of shit were piled up in every shop and warehouse the length and breadth of this country. And America, we just didn’t bother saving all the American PS3 stockpile photos.
Lest we forget Manchester, England, Peter, where Virgin had 328 in stock shortly after launch. LEST WE FORGET THE BRAVE PEOPLE OF MANCHESTER, PETER, WHO RESISTED YOU THEN AND STILL RESIST YOU NOW – AND WILL RESIST AND RESIST AND RESIST UNTIL YOU QUIT. Is that a shortage, Peter? Is 328 a shortage? You must have a lot of everything if you think 328 is not very many.
That is A LIE. There was a GLUT, Peter. There was an enormous fucking GLUT, you fool. Anyway. With thanks to “Shine” for pointing out Sony’s latest embarrassingly crude attempt at retrospective reputation management.
LEST WE FORGET.

They’re laying off staff at Studio Liverpool, I hear.
That’ll help them to keep the wolves from the door for a bit. Masterful people-management skills, Sony. You know how to make your employees feel treasured! :D

Good work Zorg and “Shine”.
Fingers crossed Kotaku pick this up. Fingers also crossed they don’t conveniently forget to mention UK:R when they do so.

Just been reading the article and my word is the guy blinkered…I even rubbed both eyes in a comical fashion.

Buying a PS3 is one of those rare self-punishing crimes, like setting up a hidden camera in the adjacent apartment’s shower only to discover that the new tenant is an elderly gentleman with copious back hair. Except in PS3 buyer’s case you knew he lived there and you did it anyway.

You bought a PS3. I am now judging you.

Isn’t this changing the past via the news and such a bit like what happens in 1984? It all seems a bit worrying to me.

Articles like this are why I <3 this site.

Oh the silly Sony fools, I only found this site because I was amazed Argos’ Plymouth branch had 123 in stock a few days after launch and wanted to share it with the world.

Cue Ken Kutaragi turning up dressed as Dr Emmett Brown and shouting “It’s your sales Peter! Something’s gotta be done about your sales!”
(I think Phil Harrison plays Biff Tannen in this timeline.)

It’s funny you say that GigerPunk because one time I snuck into Sony’s headquarters and everyone who worked there looked exactly like Biff Tannen.
At one point when I was questioned about what I was doing there so I yelled:
“HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THAT!”
The security guard looked and I punched him in the face and ran. Get’s ’em everytime….
