| Soleron said: Not really. That video, and all the whining, is being done by the very small forum-frequenting demographic who will either buy an Xbox anyway (because it has the games they like) or had no intention of buying one. A few poorly communicated features are unlikely to have changed anyone's minds. The overwhelming majority of Xbox buyers have no idea there's an "Xbox One" never mind the negative stuff. The "bad PR" starts when people buy the system and it doesn't have what they want and they tell their friends that, or when they go on Amazon after launch and see it's $500. |
You dont think it will have changed anyones minds? I disagree.
The World knows that the Xbox One has been revealed. It was all over mainstream media, from TV to newspapers to Internet news sites and it dominated social media. The negative news is actually dominating social media, which is arguably the quickest source for news today.
The forum demographic actually talk to people. People socialize outside of the forums, people talk. You can bet your balls that people will have been talking about this and the comments after the conference. Its pure anti-consumer. Its why Microsoft have removed the comments section on YouTube. Its because people are having an overwhelmingly negative reaction to the majority of stuff thats been announced and shown.
Everything that people feared has been confirmed. People who speak for the company have been giving mixed messages.
I mean, this news has even affected GameStop Stock. Its down by over 10% since the used games news broke.
Disaster may be a bit strong, but its sure as hell a huge fuck up.
