lol tables have turned for the old xbot, almost sounds like he's looking for a job. |
You seriously got that from the whole gist of "we are doing great and so are our competitors"?

As braggy as he's been in the past, yes. Even when PS3 was selling well, did he ever acknowledge "the competition is doing good as well"? Nope. "We sold more, people spent more money with us, we had the highest growth, WE ARE #1!" despite the competitor doing great as well.
Now that they're not on top, he's being humble.
edit: and in case anyone thinks he "wouldn't mention the competition on an MS site" or something like that, how about this? No "our competitors are doing great as well". No, instead "we're flat out doing better than them"

What are you saying? Do you have any idea what Public Relations is? Of course he's going to post positive news about Xbox sales or Live usage numbers, his job is to present a good image for the Xbox brand. He even says in the article you linked "We are proud and humbled to be the top online gaming service", he's respecting the competition while being proud of what the Xbox has accomplished, just as he is with this recent quote of his.
At the end of the day he's an Xbox PR person, not a Playstation one.

I know what PR is. And I know that he works for MS. But the original post being responded to was about how the tables have turned. Sales2099 said "that's what you got from we're doing great and so are our competitors?".
But when then they were on top, they never acknowledged how good the competition was doing, even though they were right on their tails (and eventually passed them). Major Nelson may not be a PS PR guy, but he sure does acknolwedge them when he's losing with "we're both doing well". When they were "both doing well" a few years ago, all he could say is "we're #1!". So yea...tables have turned
