Shovel ware would have been better then this. Epic Fail! lol hehe just jking guys.

No now to say something to add to the thread. I think its obvious that most people eather hate or love the guy. And that fits well with Sony.But

Is it the smartess marketing model to work with? I dont think its a good idea if your thinking of stealing other consules consumers.

Its a smart model to strenten your fanbase, to make them not buy other products.

So thats why i call it a double edged. But in the and it will hurt them more then help. (My opinion).

 

Aggressive marketing will not work for the Casual.

 

Based on this logic, M$ are in store for some very nasty supprises.

Really? Did you watch MS E3? i think they will do alot better then Sony, right off the bat.

Care to show some aggressive marketing by MS? You may be missing compleatly what im saying.

I talking about aggressive, as Attacking what othere companys are doing or doing in the future. Making fun of it, making it look stupid.

Aggressive in that sense. 

You may be saying aggressive in the sense of alot of marketing?

Depends, i'm not trying to be hostile; but you did say 'its a smart model to strengthen your fanbase'. and Kinect caters to a non existant M$ fanbase; they seem to be targeting the Wii casuals. you also mention that 'agressive marketing' wont work for casuals, but i'm sure i heard something about M$ and an agressive marketing strategy for the EU.

and this: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=111817&page=1&str=960258154#

which is a lot more agressive than Sony and Nintendo at the moment.

and as far as i'm concerned M$ is attempting to steal the Wii fanbase, a lot of the games they've shown so far look a lot like Wii sports, and that kinetimals seems a lot like Nintendogs. Sony arent completely innocent either, but a lot of move looks to enhance the core experience and provide a new casual one, rather than just cater to a new fanbase altogether. 

so imo, the logic you've used in your first post suggest M$ are in for some bad supprises and move is a more thought out marketing device. although i have no idea which will win this hoilday, and there are of course other variables to consider, so i dont know...


Did you see how Nintendo guy did not even attack anyone. smart move.

Attacking a other company publicly is bad bisness period.

 

But MS is not attacking Nintendo publicly on the news or in its ad campagne, like Sony has.  

In that link the MS guys looks on the defencive, and lashes out at both to try and save face.

But MS hole marketing is not based on what happened in that interview.
