They haven't just really fucked it up, but have really really really really really fucked it up to the point where they admit they don't give a flying fuck about their existing (or new) customers and have not just slightly opened but fully kicked open the door to the possibility of them becoming completely irrelevant this gaming generation.

U don't believe me? Go to time 1:51 where Mr.Microsoft Guy states clearly that "Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity...it's called XBox 360."





Full writeup here on ArsTechnica's site.

The only people who'll buy this thing are fanboys and retards who don't spend more than 2 seconds thinking about a purchase.

Seriously...it's looking more and more like Microsoft had no plans whatsoever regarding their next console and were quite content to continue making bank off of the XBox 360...they probably didn't want to talk about next-gen consoles for the next five years with their current install base. I'm quite sure they're only hawking this XBoxOne POS because they think they needed to have something to say about "next-gen", but only after Sony announced the PS4 and it's "Share" button...then they suddenly remembered Facebook and now they're scrambling on a rudderless ship. Obvious morons are obvious.

Dunno where to put this, but it seems to fit here....mostly because I'm too fucking lazy to find the latest CoD-bashing thread:

[U4EA]

Lemme go, lemme go! Goddamnit you sonofabitch, LET ME GO

[Tsakali]

mother nature on the rebound

[U4EA]

Apparently it's up to 14898 vs 898 now.

[Ryoki]

oh dear

[xer0s]

lol fuck

[Plan B]

Wow, 16 to 1. Then again, actual sales won't resemble this ratio.
People will cave and get the xbox anyway, because it has more (exclusive) titles.
It's a strong signal though, and Microsoft best pay attention and adjust.

[scared?]

Why does Steve ballmer still have a job at micromoron?..:

[Plan B]

Seniority.
Same reason your wife hasn't kicked you out yet.
Until your oldest kid is older than you.

[scared?]

My wife is obsessed with me so no u...

[Plan B]

Me what?
Me not trapped in a life that disgusts me?

[scared?]

Lol shut it poor lonely nothing to live for dipshit...

[GONNAFISTYA]

So go0f you gonna defend CoD when you send your AI dog to do all your killing for you? I mean, the game doesn't care if you kill anyone, it'll do it for you if you miss anyone. But at least with an AI dog you can point at its targets and say,"Get em boy!" while changing shit-filled diapers and monitoring leaderboards.

[scared?]

I haven't played single player cod since cod4...I don't care about ai...

This is getting better and better

Apparently Xbox One is only launching in 21 countries. If you're not in any of these 21 countries, then you cannot buy Xbox One in your country (at launch). Even worse: you cannot import your Xbox One either, because you can't activate Xbox One games with an Xbox Live account registered in an "unsupported" country.

This means 175 of the 196 countries in the world won't be able to play Xbox One in November. And that isn't just countries like North Korea or Sierra Leone. Countries like Portugal, Greece, Luxembourg, most of Eastern Europe including Poland, Japan, all of Africa, basically all of South America (except Brazil), the entire Middle East, the entire far east. They all can't buy or play Xbox One.

The funniest thing is that the game "The Witcher 3" played a relatively big role at MS' E3 showing. The Witcher 3 is developed by a Polish company. So here we have the situation where the developers can't even play their own game at home

Fucking lol

[U4EA]

Hah, nice.

Meanwhile, that poll has now climbed up to 27484 vs. 1555.

Evidently everyone is "just simpleminded people not seeing the bigger picture".

I'll believe this when their AAA titles launch at reasonable prices world wide.

LOL, somebody's going to get fired.

[MKJ]

MS is now saying the XBO is actually region free, but also not really. They think. Not sure though.
