Wow, that is pretty pathetic. Why would someone even do that. Stupid people and their stupid egos.

Sony is just afraid that Halo 3 will destroy them. Sony is really desperate for PS3 sales, and this is their way to eliminate the competition? What's next? Vandalising Super Smash Bros Brawl Wiki page? Pathetic.

Re: Sony caught vandalizing Halo 3 Wiki Page

I wouldn't call that "vandalism". Vandalism would be adding a line saying "Halo sucks balls and sony is much better". Saying that the graphics won't look any better is a combination of opinion and fact. The graphics will be rendered on the same platform, and thus, it is to be expected that there will not be any leaps in graphical quality, and personal preference comes into the matter here. That is why what they did is not right for Wikipedia... something cannot have an objectively "better" look.

Also, it was probably just an individual at the company doing this. I seriously doubt that Sony would officially assign someone the job of editing rival companies' wikipedia articles, ESPECIALLY since the edit was done so poorly. There are a multitude of things which would be added without making it so blatantly biased.

Re: Sony caught vandalizing Halo 3 Wiki Page

There's no way Sony just said "well, Halo ****ed us, better do some sabotage." It might have been one individual who works at Sony, but don't you think Sony would at least attempt to proxy around the scanner?

Re: Sony caught vandalizing Halo 3 Wiki Page

Yeah this is pretty retarded, a company wouldn't do something like that. They'd just make a commercial bashing them outright if they wanted to make a statement.

However, bad press is bad press, so it kinda sucks for Sony if this comes back to bite them. =\

Re: Sony caught vandalizing Halo 3 Wiki Page

its not Sony vandalizing, probably some fruit from Sony. Sony, as a company, would not do such a thing.

Re: Sony caught vandalizing Halo 3 Wiki Page

I also like the fact how this article is biased, oh wait planet xfag 360 kbye. Sony may suck but they aren't the kind of idiots who would try to bring down halo's popularity by editing a WIKIPEDIA article.

Wikiscanner. It's a new thing for the public some guy made where you can take a IP from a edit and see what else they have edited.

some guy obviously saw a guy kept on vandal that kept editing games wiki pages with stuff like "Not going to be on Xbox360, take that."

Looked up the IP on wikiscanner and it happened to be from a Sony company.

Thus it got spread around and such and made into news.

Seems like sony have some pretty stupid employees.

For those saying "it's not sony! it's just some guy!"

Some guy who works at Sony, you mean. A member of the company represents the company in all his actions. That's how business works. Say you're the receptionist at the front desk. You may not even know what the company does. However, you're there to greet people as they come in, and if you somehow made someone angry, it's likely they'll never buy products from your company ever again.
