Could you clarify on MS going down the wrong path repeatedly. Are we talking about the X1 or in general. @Bolded: Oh I totally agree with those being a very bad moment in PR from MS. Don statement was just plain dumb and Larry was complete ignorance. @2nd Bolded: I am not sure I see the difference. Before E3, how did consumers get a chance to tell MS they were on the wrong page. It was during E3 that everything was revealed. During and after E3 MS received constant info from cunsumers, bloggers and press that gamers were unhappy with the console direction. What is the difference then what you just wrote. Sony released a game without a disk, gamers complained they wanted a disk, Sony gave them a disk. In your analogy, Sony would never have released the game without a physical copy because they would have known gamers wanted it. Would not your analogy be correct if MS released the X1 exactly how they advertised it at E3 after getting constant feedback from consumers that they did not want this type of console then change it up. |
@1st Bolded. I'm talking about the X1.
@ 2nd Bolded. If you read the the text inside the parantheses, you'll find your answer. The difference was the time it took for Sony and MS to react. One company took a significantly shorter time to react than the other.
