Seems he is feeling the pressure and isnt very good at his job, so he decides to talk shite. Poor fella. Other Dille snippets from 2007 (who how silly he must feel now about the next paragraph) I don't want to be argumentative, but I take issue with Microsoft either having a long tail, or being profitable, because they've never done either. They've never made a dime in this business, number one, and number two, they've never had a tail. They've never been successful enough to have a tail! So the notion of a back half of the curve doesn't exist for them. They stopped the Xbox and I kind of feel for the guy that bought an Xbox the month before they said 'we're out of business, we're moving on.' With the Xbox 360 you've got an inconsistent design, some have a hard drive, some don't, and none of them have Blu-Ray, and the HD-DVD will be out of business in a matter of months. Is this a 10 year product? And by the way, it doesn't even work. Do they want to be selling it for 10 years and refurbishing them all for 10 more years? I don't think that's a 10 year product. You could disagree with me, or they could disagree with me, but I'd put that up against the PS3 any day. LOL!!! MS really have him rattled... I bet he doesnt sleep very well... poor baby.
Incidentally are FPS games any less worthy than other genres? |
Amazing how you spin something into something it isn't. The PS3 is in third, but it isn't that far behind the 360 and it is the best third place seller of all time. So I fail to see how that is "making him rattled."
Especially since the last 2 generations Sony nailed both Nintendos and Microsofts ass to the wall in a no-contest match.
FPS games are just as good as any other genre. He merely stated that the 360 is more reliant on FPS games and it is, but it doesn't make it bad. Microsoft has done well to generate huge sales off of FPS games.
