Opinion – Microsoft And Sony Show True Class At PlayStation 4 Launch
I’ve recently opined about the console wars and how the bickering that takes place between groups of fans isn’t the same thing as competition. Last night, Microsoft and Sony drove that point home by showing each other the utmost respect.
It started with a tweet from Xbox Live director of programming Larry Hryb.
Congratulations to @Playstation on their North American launch cc @yosp @amboyes

The responses that came from Sony’s Adam Boyes and Shuhei Yoshida were fast and equally classy.
@majornelson @PlayStation @yosp thanks, Larry. Good luck next week!

This morning, Microsoft made it more official by tweeting the image at the top of the page with a congratulatory note to the competition.

No matter where you stand, Xbox lover, member of the “PlayStation Nation,” dyed-in-the-wool Nintendo superfan, or PC gamer, there’s something for all of us. This is an exciting time for us, and I hope that those of us buying these systems can show as much respect to one another as the people selling them.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
