Oh fuck off Penello.
You had plenty of time to have a "rational" conversation about what you were "trying" to do at the reveal conference and E3 along with all the time in between. Maybe with a lot less time talking about your oh so brilliant NFL partnership or your great TV functionality you should have explained the "benefits" of your system for gamers. Hell, you even cancelled all your pre-E3 interviews and had your different PR drones out there sending mixed messages. You had plenty of time but you pissed it all up the wall, because the entire team is full of incompetant, egregious, arrogant idiots who obviously dont have a fucking clue what the consumer wants.
The Xbox One was good for Microsoft and Microsofts big partners. Thats it. It was a giant "fuck you give me money" to every one else and they thought they controlled enough of the market to dictate how the future was going to be, they thought the Xbox brand was big enough that people would jump in no matter what bullshit they were trying to pull.
They were wrong. They need to admit they were wrong and they need to stop trying to blame the consumer. Its bullshit that theyre trying to pin the blame on the consumer, because the consumer "wasnt ready". This just sounds like that theyre gonna bring it back at some point in the future which nobody fucking wants. If the preorder numbers and massive backlash wasnt evidence enough for them then they deserve all the shit they have taken so far and will deserve every bit of shit theyre gonna get when they inevitably bring it back.
The Microsoft PR nightmare continues.
