Compliments and respect are not how the console wars should be fought. Gamers were brought up by the old adage of, “Sega does what Nintendon’t” so what is this joyful sorcery? With Uncharted 4 primed to drop on May 10th and the reviews of the game being through the roof, Xbox boss Phil Spencer decided to reach out to Sony President of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida on Twitter to congratulate him on the instant classic.
Needless to say, nerds that love to taste the hatred that seeps from the Xbox One versus Playstation 4 rivalry are sure to be displeased.
Congrats @Naughty_Dog and @yosp on another great Uncharted with #Uncharted4, amazing work.

@XboxP3 @Naughty_Dog ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ Thanks Phil, see you at E3.

Notice how Shuhei responded within a minute… at 4am. How does that work? And how are both of them awake at the same time? Shuhei was very likely in a much different timezone. This all seems like a work (wrestling term for fake). Still, the love-fest CONTINUED…
@yosp @Naughty_Dog Definitely, should be an exciting year. Good luck with the planning.

I don’t know what the following emoji is. Does anyone? Is it a secret bonding emoji that only videogame executives share over the horrors of E3 planning?
@XboxP3 @Naughty_Dog d(￣ ￣)

Presumably, both bosses that control the fate of the videogame universe went to bed. The conversation thread was continued in vain when a fan politely asked for a Socom 2 remaster. Take from that what you will.
