The haters are working so hard to try and put down the XB1, they are even after the advertising.


Microsoft is a big enough company they don't need it to have "lovers" and they can withstand people pointing out, and making fun of, really stupid ad campaigns they have run.  Every since the Orthy fiasco, they have manifested pretty large degree of incompetence in the communication department, so why not point out the stupidity once again?

The ONE is an electronic device that plays games, and does other living room hub activity.  Why you are considered about people putting it down, is beyond me, outside of your are getting personally hurt that a company that could care less you even exist (outside of your wallet) has one of their products being bashed for a stupid ad campaign.  One of their meanings of that spot is their product will be beta tested by consumers.  Others is that it is futureproof, which is the same stupidity Sony tried to run for the PS3.  And everyone is supposed to just shut up and make sure Microsoft's consumer offering isn't "put down"?  Really?

Wow, from me making a comment abot people hating on an ad you come to the conclusion that I believe that M$ cares about me???  Wow, what an imagination.  I'm speaking about an ad and you are going on about it impacting me personally?  Like you said, it is just an ad, nothing more.  My statement was about how people (haters) seem to pile on and bash the ad just to do so.  If this was the only ad they were using and was the centerpiece of their advertising campaign I would agree that it was lacking.  Not every ad is going to connect with every user, that's why there are son many different kinds of ads.  This one obviously will not connect with the haters, as they are trying to be clever and only someone who doesn't have a predisposed opinion will be open to it.  So, haters are going to hate.
