According to Fatbabies, Sony recently "asked" a Funcoland to pull down al their X-Box and GameCube advertising shiz.... or else they lose their PS2 shipments. Here's the scoop:
Apparently Sony is still threatening retailers (see Sony the Bully) who display any sort of X-Box promotional material. A manager of a Funcoland stated they were required to remove all X-Box pre-orders because Sony called and e-mailed to threaten PS2 hardware and software shipments will be shorted to the store if the store does not remove all pre-orders and marketing materials for X-Box and GameCube.
Appears the bastards at Sony are using bully tactics after a less than stellar launch.
We’re trying to obtain a copy of that e-mail. We’ll be sure to post it should it find its way to us.
