A few days ago, during the European launch party for the Playstation 3, Microsoft decided to try and grab a bit of attention, since by giving Sony a “warm” welcome by waving a large “XBOX 360 (heart) YOU” banner and giving people who were waiting in line free chairs which pointed out to a URL that had a “you’re late” message to Sony.

Some people consider this move clever, others think that it’s just Microsoft’s way of trying to grab a bit of spotlight. I just think it’s immature. I haven’t been blogging for many years, but I don’t think that a competing platform has ever mocked the other during it’s launch like Microsoft just has.

I for one hope, and am almost certain, that the Playstation 3 sells more than the 360 in Europe in the coming months.
