Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Major Nelson Strikes Back

Zappykins on 16 August 2015

It's good cheesy fun. And yes, we know their real competitor is Ouya. That's the only one they are really worried about.

They could buy the other with cash and hardly blink an eye, but Ouya is a true challenge and innovator.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Just yesterday we heard their focus wasn't to beat ps4.

Maybe he meant Konami. #fuckonami.

I assume that after the shit they got into about the Destiny stealth campaign this one was actually cleared with the legal team before it went on line.

MS loves anyone who's losing obviously. I doubt Major Nelson woulda said I love those guys back in 2008.

I'm pretty sure they did.  They were saying something along the lines of Wii+Xbox=best of both worlds.

 

But truth be told, Sony and M$ don't even hate each other.  They have a few partnerships, don't they?  Even when the consoles launched, they wished each other luck and later congratulated each other.  The "console war" is just for us.  It breeds brand loyalty.


Very much agreed! There's two big companies selling their products and some consumers choose to take it way too personally. Getting upset over this is the definition of butthurt 😊

Well it is just a joke and quite clever too 😊 there's really no need for us gamers to be pissed off of whatever marketing deals these companies make. Sony should have come up with something similar too.


Do you agree that it's a cheap trick to circumvent the marketing deal for Star Wars Battlefront? If so, it's not "just a joke"


Yes you're right, posted last night when in hurry. But I still stand by the rest of my post, and I don't consider it cheap, but it's clever.

The most cringe worthy thing I've seen in 2015.

It wasnt that bad, maybe your Sony love is making you over react.

If PS4 simply had EA Access MS couldnt boast about this. But its a horrible value and Sony thinks nobody should have it.


it was so bad that at first i thought this was fan made and wasnt an official Xbox Video at first. 

so sony should put EA access on PS4 so people can play battlefront or what ever EA game a few days early for a few hours? yeah i dont think so. 

I'm guessing MS is limited on the way they can promote this coming first to their platform via EA Access. It looks like some people wanted to do a skit and MS was okay with it. I think it was fine, you're over reacting. 

Use your head, EA Access is more than just playing games early. Sony was simply afraid EA Access would cut into their profits, in reality it could encourage more people to get PS+ so they can play EA Access games online.

I think it was fine, you're over reacting. Some of Sony's advertising didn't look much better than a fan made, remember Chad Warden?

what does sony have to do with this? why are you so hell bent on bringing them into this discussion? and how am i over reacting by simply saying the video is horrible? 

im "using my head" just fine. another subscribtion for games on PS4 isnt needed.

Why am I bringing Sony into this discusion? I guess you don't understand the video.

For $30 a year, its a cheap subscription. That's cheaper than 2 months of PS Now's subscription. Again, I'm a fan of letting consumers decide. Not letting Sony decide what's a good value. They are the same people that think a God of War III Remaster untouched for $40 is a good value.

do you? the video is about playing starwars first on XB1 via EA access and nelson took a cheap shot at sony by saying he wants to destroy them or what ever. you brought up Sony by affiliating my personal feelings towards them and how Sony has did ads before, which has nothing to do with the topic at hand. you are trying to start a fanboy debate with me about "Sony vs MS" and thats pretty clear.

 

and there you go again with subjects that have nothing to do with my original post. what does GoW3 remaster have to do with this video and thread? my original comment and point stand, the video was horrible and cringe worthy.

That's not showing love to Nintendo, that's trying to ride the coattails of the Wii phenomenon, which they did once they stopped pleading like this and got Kinect online.
