Now I am by no means condoning what microsoft put up, but I can kinda understand why they would do that. No, sony hasn't run any smear campaigns against xbox. Why? Because the fans do it for them... I cannot even begin to tell you how many ridiculously fanboying and slandering sites against the xbox I have run across... Here is just a few:

Those are just a few. It isn't just the xbox community smearing everyone else. Xbox has been under harsh criticism since it was announced. When I bought my Xbox over a year ago I was ridiculed by some. (well, at least until I got them to play it
) It has been and will be a hard road for MS to stay in the race and for those of us who own the xbox to support it.
