It seems that Konami<\/a> is not the only one committed to PR blunders of late. Even the social media teams behind big gaming brands such as PlayStation can make a boo-boo or two.<\/p>\n

Just recently, PlayStation Asia, via Facebook, re-posted and quoted a review\u00a0by Destructoid<\/a>, a quote they probably shouldn’t have.<\/p>\n

As you can see below, it seems that the article was quoted without thinking of the context and information of the article, which mentions clearly the demise of the PS Vita.<\/p>\n

Yes, this is a review! But why did the community manager for PlayStation Asia choose to quote that direct sentence from the review.<\/p>\n

These kinds of mess-ups are interesting and seem to be becoming more commonplace nowadays. Verifying information and checking what you post can have greater implications, particularly when the Vita is already on a knife-edge as is.<\/p>\n

We feel pretty bad for the person at fault and hope they don’t lose their job.<\/p>\n

But this is still better than what Konami has been doing lately, especially with their MGS V microstransaction shenanigans<\/a>, in our opinion.<\/p>\n
