With the news that the Xbox One will be getting a 53MHz bump to its GPU speed having failed to impress gamers, an increasingly frantic Microsoft today revealed that the console would also feature go-faster stripes.
Speaking at a hastily arranged press conference, corporate vice-president Marc Whitten explained how the previously announced 6.62 per cent speed boost combined with the addition of go-faster stripes (available in red or navy blue) would ensure that the Xbox One remained a viable contender against the PS4.
Whitten said: “After I realised people were still worried about the capabilities of the console I called an emergency meeting of our senior engineers and demanded that they do something.
“It was a tense meeting. They were all shouting at me, saying I couldn’t just keep making shit up as I went along, that I lacked a clear vision and that they couldn’t work under these sort of conditions.
“Suddenly someone yelled why not just add go-faster stripes and the room collapsed into laughter, I assume because they couldn’t believe they hadn’t thought of it earlier.
“Naturally I told them to implement it immediately.”
So it looks like after the GPU overclock from a few days ago, and now this, MS is taking the power gap between the PS4 and the Xbox One very seriously. Do you think this will make a difference for exclusives? Multiplats? Or do you think somehing more extreme, such as flame decals or possibly even a spoiler, are needed to turn public perception around?
