What Does Microsoft Need To Do To Win You Back?

Yes, we all know they were forced to change. MS did not just have an honest change of heart and completely scrapped their entire policy and intentions just because Ballmer had some weird dream or something. They changed because of what retailers were telling them about interest in their console and they knew with Sony leaving DRM up to 3rd party companies, it made no sense for them to force it. But you said they never listen until they are on the brink of failure. Xbox One was not on the brink of failure and yet they changed.

They had to scrap their intentions or else. End of story. The Xbone's reception was one of the worst receptions ever in the history of gaming (yes wayyyyyyyy worse than the $599 PS3 incident. They managed to beat that.). All of the cards for MS seemed to fall one after the other. Give people their damn console and stop trying to control everything. Stop trying to tell people what the future is unless its affordable and doesn't restrict them. As I said again, when Yusuf from MS was interviewed he played it off like the core gamers opinion on the issue don't matter when they make up the bulk of the early adopters.

I don't need to watch any interview. I am aware Sony never put a huge emphasis on the Eyetoy. They didn't because it was not something that took off. Had it taken off, they'd of emphasized it more. You're rambling and getting off point. My reply was laughing at you implying Sony started some camera motion control trend. Again, if they started a trend, then why was it 7 years later before someone else tried camera motion controls? Why did their own Eyetoy only see like 24 games designed for it in over 5 years? Meanwhile there are already over 110 games that require the Kinect. The only trend that matters here is Nintendo and the motion control trend. Sony didn't start anything.

Sony never put huge emphasis on the Eyetoy because they saw motion controls as a secondary way to game. They were never happy with sole camera based gaming which they deemed inaccurate, so R&D went to work on the Move in 2004. I am not rambling, you just like to discredit Sony every chance you can get. If I was rambling you wouldn't be writing as much as you are. Stop using Nintendo as a crutch, Nintendo gained the intended market, but Sony put zero marketing muscle behind their motion controls. It blew up in their face when their same essential product was used by Microsoft with major marketing and had a positive public reaction. 

Yes Allard, you're correct, Sony was never the first to majorly start camera motion controls on a major console. I bow down to your bias.

When you provide the source, no one wants any part of it. Its the saddest thing I've ever seen.
