To surround your product in a hurricane of hyperbolic and possibly false claims that contradict actual product experience, as a form of offensive damage control and PR. The hope that one can spin shortcomings and failures so actively and so frequently that your manic bluster overtakes negative opinion/experience in the public awareness. Attempts to change received wisdom to portray the products failures as benefits and the wave of the future, and competitors advantages as disadvantages, old fashioned and possibly broken.
"You see that news about removed European PS3 backwards compatibility?"
"Yeah, and then they pulled a Sony and said old games were the past and PS3 games were the future."
"Man, I wish the PS3 had rumble. The Wii manages it with way better motion sensing to boot."
"Me too, but you saw them pull that Sony and say rumble was a last generation feature."
"Wow, I've been in town all day and there are PS3's sitting around EVERYWHERE - nobody's buying them at all!"
"Tell me about it - but every day now they pull a Sony and tell us demand is unprecedented. Can't say I'd noticed!"
"Damn - I bought a CD last week and it installed a bunch of crud on my computer. I read on the Internet I can't remove it. Now my MP3's are all screwed up and everything is slow."
"Oh yeah - you got hit by that Sony rootkit. They think everyone's a pirate. But they pulled a Sony and said since most people don't know what a rootkit is, it's their right to install one on everyone's computers to protect the music industry. Don't you feel better now?"
"Jesus! My laptop battery just exploded! I lost all my data."
"Sucks to be you pal. Sony batteries are exploding everywhere, they're recalling them. But not to worry; they said it was just a challenge to make better batteries that would show the Sony spirit. How's that for pulling a Sony?"

The Sony AIBO, is a robotic dog produced by the Sony Electronics company from 1999-2006 and recently came back in 2018.
The first Sony AIBO to release was the ERS-110 in 1999 it was sold in a small batch and was only available to purchase on Sony’s website. Later, sony released the ERS-111 which fixed multiple issues on the 110.
Next, in 2000 sony released the ERS-210 which had multiple hardware improvements over the ERS-11X models including more ways to communicate. This model also had a variety of software for it.
Later in 2001 Sony released the ERS-31X models which included the ERS-311 (AKA Latte) ERS-312 (AKA macaron) and later the ERS-31L. These models were cheaper than other AIBO’s and had a bearlike appearance.
Later in 2001 sony released the ERS-220 which had the same exact hardware as an ERS-210 but was designed to look more futuristic and nothing like a dog. The ERS-220 can run almost all ERS-210 software and even had some exclusive titles of it’s own.
Next in 2003 Sony released the ERS-7 which had more of a doglike appearance and came with a dot matrix display instead of face lights, this allowed the ERS-7 to be more expressive than older AIBO’s.
In 2006 Sony discontinued the AIBO line due to cost cutting efforts and AIBO repair services ended in 2014.
Later, in 2018 Sony brought back the aibo line with completely new marketing with the ERS-1000. The ERS-1000 had two OLED screens for eyes as well as a ceiling tracking camera for navigation.

Guy one: Ratchet has a wrench for a weapon. There is no logic behind that. I guess you call that Sony Logic.
Guy Two: You dumba**. Nintendo has Nintendo Logic for years. That's just another attempt to rip-off Nintendo.
