Xbox Brand sucess might be making Microsoft bullshitting on us Gamers... They look like Sony at the beggining this Gen and im not liking this.

Have they told gamers to get a second job or that 5 million Kinects would sell at launch even if there were no games for it?  There's your answer to them being as arrogant as Sony was.

The Kinect launch event reveals a massive disrespect for enthusiast gamers that overshadows the actual tech on display.

I'm surprised that a thread hasn't been started about it, but apparently Microsoft hates it's current audience and is willing to make fun of them so that they can make celebrities feel better about themselves. 

 

"I think we know that hard-core gamers will be the first to go out and buy it, as they are with any product."

"I have one thing to say to the hardcore gamer who says Kinect has nothing for them," said Toulouse while discussing concerns about Kinect on Major Nelson's latest podcast. "Those games will have achievements, so don't tell me you're not going to play at least some of them, you hardcore gamers out there. I know you will."

Microsoft have been making some very arrogant and defensive statements since the Kinect announcement. I think the point of this thread is to point how Sony have learnt their launch lesson's, but Microsoft is resorting to the old Sony.

unbelievable. The one about the achievements was especially cheap.
