| pokoko said: Coincidental? Of course it's not coincidental, the Edge story was about turning the Xbox One around. Molyneux's answer was one that a lot of other people also believe, that they should offer an SKU without Kinect. I don't think that's exactly controversial. I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with him but why shouldn't he answer a question that's asked of him? |
Because if it were that simple, they wouldn't be able to simply disregard his comment as a "person seeking attention, trying to get back his past glory". Can't have a formerly MS guy talk negatively about MS. To most, a guy in his position would know what he's talking about, so the fans would rather we ignore his opinion, as to keep the XBone in the best light possible. Don't want the "opposition" to have the ammunition to say "even a big time MS guy doesn't like Kinect" so they're trying to give the impression that his opinion just doesn't matter.
Same thing would happen if someone like David Reeves said something negative about PS4. PS fans would say he just doesn't matter anymore....even though he's worked at Sony and has a clue about the games' industry. That wouldn't matter, what he (hypothetically) said didn't make my console choice look good, so despite him having been an industry worker and used to work for my console choice's company, I clearly know more than him and he's just trying to find his former glory. Don't listen to him.
