This is where I differ in opinion. You only apoligize if you were at fault. MS was not at fault about what they wanted to do instead they were at fault at how they communicated their plan because it was not finished. Maybe I just have a different opinion on what a lie is. A lie would mean that MS told you they wanted to sell a digital console but in reality they really wanted to sell you a 360 with upgraded hardware. This would be a lie if you bought the X1 on the assumption that it was a digital console but got a 360 based console instead. Instead MS wanted to sell you a digital console but console gamers told MS they wanted is exactly how the 360 is today but with better hardware. MS changed the system to reflect what the market wanted and released a 360 based console, removing a lot of the digital only features. Not sure how thats lying but could you elaborate on your definition. @ BOLDED: This is why corporations need to make sure there is one cental place for such comminication. When Larry Hurb (AK Major Nelson) made that comment, you knew he was going to get torched for it. The reason why is because as we see today, one person not even the director of the Xbox division but just a marketing face made a comment which probably was done as a knee jerk reaction before checking in with the boss, is considered as a lie from MS. People get themselves into trouble like this all the time. When Larry was interviewed by Anry Joe and he made the statements concerning the 24 hour check in and Kinect integration he really did not know the answer but he chose to answer the question. It then becamed the Lie from MS when they did decide to change gears. I believe this was a hard lesson for MS to learn because such interviews get posted on the net and discussed on just about every forum you can name. If anything maybe Larry should apologize for making statements before he actually check in with the boss to see if they are correct. |
You do remember that mattricks was also interviewed and he said that was indeed the issue and thouse without internet can get a 360. So he basicly said "then fuck you all who do not meet the requierement". This was one of the most circulating videos so im sure you saw it. That larry hurb was just a scape goat who got thrown under the buss to keep face, and was probably paid millions for that bullshit she said.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
