As a Christmas gift for lovers of the console war, today a piece of information has come out, which, if true, would end up naming Sony and its CEO, Jim Ryan, as one of the most hypocritical and liars in the industry.

Sony reveals the inconsistency with its statements and actions once morest Xbox
Now, with respect to these statements, we notice inconsistencies due to the withering pressure that they are making to stop the purchase of Activision by Microsoft.
