Sony Says Xbox "Lacks Longevity," Microsoft Shrugs

"Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men," according to some old dead Greek guy who took a fatal swig of hemlock. The latest attempt to massage our brainwaves with persuasive oratory comes from Sony Chairman Kazuo Hirai, who reportedly told CVG the Xbox 360 "lacks longevity" and that the PlayStation 3 will eventually pull ahead.

In small business Dishonesty will result in your emediate death unless your so good at selling your own bullshit that you beleive yourself... in which case your pure evil...
