I've watched prior videos of Perrin and i'm reading the excerpts that Pittbboi has quoted. The "Bad" and "Ugly" have nothing that I find ostensibly pompous or inflammatory. It's only pompous, insulting, arrogant, whatever, because you are being pretentious yourself. There is some answer you want to hear, but didn't get. Instead, you got an answer that falls in line with everything we've already heard. So she's condescending now and/or a pompous jerk because she told you what you already know. That's just ridiculous.
If I read this correctly - and I'm amazed I did - you just told me that because I don't agree with her statements and their delivery, not only am I pompous, but I'm passing my own arrogance onto her because she's saying things I already know?
That is some of the idiotic logic I've ever heard in my life. That's about the most convenient cop-out answer I've seen on these boards, where not only are you turning my disapproval onto myself, but simultaneously channeling it onto Kaplan.
No. She has little to no professional tact in interviews. Excellent example? "No one got shot in our lines, like the PS3." Not only is that a low comment, it's punching someone in the balls when they are already clutching them in pain. Sony isn't proud of that on an official PR level. Maybe in their golden hallways with their golden thrones and their golden chalices with their golden smiles of golden teeth, they toasted to that kind of frenzy, but it backfired on them AND they've had to take heat for it. Just like Nintendo did when the woman drank too much water and died. But despite that, even I didn't see Harrison or Kaz come out and call Nintendo some kind of murder-inducing console manufacturer.
You don't slam your opponents in childish ways. You talk about the facts. Nintendo doesn't need their PR people calling Sony incompetent or non-existent competition. They just need to say "We are selling well, we have great software coming out, there's stuff in the pipelines, and we know people are very pleased." There's absolutely no reason for them to come down on their opponents, and the major person I see doing this is Kaplan.
Now you can sit there and twist this around with that kind of retarded logic, but that's stupid and you know it. You've both removed my ability and opportunity to call her out on her nonsense, and then called me pretentious in the same breath.
Next time just stfu, because it's clear you have no point.

It's the same damn thing we heard all the way up to Nintendo's press release where they finally revealed the price and date of availiblity for Wii. "Nintendo is being a pompus jerk" "They could have told us price/availability months ago" "they didn't need to keep this info secret so long" blah blah blah. If Nintendo doesn't want to talk about something yet, they don't fuÇking have to. And you're the pompous jerk for asking/trying to force them to tell you when time and time again they say, "No. Were not ready to talk yet."
THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING AS WHAT KAPLAN DOES. STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT.

Geez, you wonder why Nintendo doesn't want to talk or tell you dates, numbers, figures, etc until they're ready or until they can solidly commit. Because you're going to nail them to a cross if they don't meet them. Yet, at the same time, if they don't tell you these numbers, figures, dates, or whatever, months or a year in advance you're still going to nail them because 'they're being pompous' for dodging the question or not answering. Now how fair is that? Besides that, what significance do these numbers do you anyway? Why is it of such utter importance to you aside from stroking your ego if system Z is going to be out on date Y and have X number of systems to purchase.
1) Stop changing the subject.
2) See above. And even above
that.3) As I said before, I could care less how long they delay. I'm going to buy it anyway, and I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it.
4) Stop changing the god d*mn subject.
5) I'm not going to nail them for what they say so long as it is truthful. I've said two basic things about Kaplan, and since you've managed to avoid them so cluelessly, let me tell you them again. I don't like her attitude, and I don't like her delivery. So long as she gives me the straight answer and doesn't make sh*t up off the top of her head (again, component cables and region lock anyone?) AND doesn't treat me like I can't handle *gasp* a new "down-lode-a-bull kon-tint" item every few months, she can talk all she wants.
But she needs to clean up her sideshow clown act first.
