Forums - Gaming Discussion - Microsoft Exec: “Majority Of UK Consumers Won’t Know” About PS4 Reveal Next Week

UK gamers don't know how to use the internet? Give them more credit Microsoft!

OT: I can't belive they actually commented on this at all. They're embarrassing themselves.


They must think the UK is a third world country or something! For this to happen, the UK needs to abandon it's newspapers, internet and every interest in videogames :S

classic microsoft. always talking about their competition. most gamers already know so i dont now what they're talking about.



He has a point. Majority of consumers in the UK - and everywhere - aren't obsessed with gaming news and are likely to not know about this announcement. The general public won't follow unless Sony makes sure what they announce is worth following for them, which is possible, but unlikely.

even if people don't know now they will be checking out the videos afterwards of the reveal.

That's where you're wrong. People know when there's a new iPhone right? When its announced we hear about it on all the major tech/mobile sites and even on the news. Now, I'm not saying PS4 will get the same amount of coverage, but it will get coverage.

Completely agree. It will get coverage, but limited. As such, if we peg the number of UK video game consumers at 25 million, I'm confident that the PS4 will not get enough coverage to get the majority, or more than 12.5m, of consumers to take note.

@platformmaster918, do you really expect the average soccer mom or only-plays-CoD teenager to check out videos of video game news? They usually don't know about new consoles until they see advertisements.

yea but PC is number one.

PC requires Windows software to function for most gamers. Thanks for the confidence boost buddy :)


we use linux, reformat our computers, and pirate games.

LMFAO , you so funny man ...

 

you want a list with the exclusives and multiplatforms sony will release this year?


bu bu but xbox has more exclusives if you count indie titles!



Just like the wii u right now :D
but what midrosoft said is true. most gamer's (at least the games i know) don't even go on websites and look up rumors and news like we do.

I know right!? People never give Indie games credit. I mean, they're just as good, if not BETTER than those corporate games.
