This is why Sony's PR is awesome.

tl;dr, the EBExpo happened, and both Sony and Microsoft were demoing their next gen consoles upstairs. The problem? A disabled gamer was attending the event with four friends, and there was no wheelchair access up to the booths. Sony realized they'd fucked up, apologised profusely for fucking up, and offered them each a free PS4.

Microsoft's response on the other hand, is a rather hilarious demonstration on the other side of the spectrum:

Captain Weeaboo needs to take the time to explain to the rest of us what he's talking about more often. Or just post the video that works. Looks a bit stiff, also, it's just an all girls cast? Wait, why the hell did they use that chick from Oreimo, it's not even a fighting related show!

EDIT: Fucking, really Microsoft? Not even an apology?

Someone needs to fire all their PR.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

In regards to Microsoft's booth, upstairs was just for Titanfall; every other game on demo for Xbox One was downstairs. But for Sony's booth, everything for PS4 was exclusively upstairs.

Still, dick move by Microsoft.

Beenox is at it again. They're handling the game adaptation of the next Spider-Man movie. Set for release on every major gaming console. And yes, that includes PC.

I'll probably end up either getting it for PS3, or importing the Wii U version from overseas, because Activision.
