I don't think ive ever seen as much hype for something, so far from release.

If they get this right, it could be really big.

If they fuck this up, it will be the blunder of the century.

Implying Vista wasn't already the blunder of the century. Well technically last century .

 

I think if theres 2 million in peoples homes by the end of January his statement qualifies. We will see what happens.


Vista a bigger blunder than PS3?  Did Vista lose billions of dollars and cost Microsoft the lead in consumer operating systems? 

RROD was no walk in the park either, but we need to think in terms of scope here.

Vista was the operating system that 90% of computer users were going to buy. The problem was everyone who bought it had efficiency loses.

So yes, an operating system installed on 90% of the worlds computers, and running inefficienctly, dwarfs ANY problem to do with any console.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
