:/ I can't help but notice a large amount of comments in this thread saying pretty much "Why are so many people mad? why are Sony fans so upset about this?" Yet I've yet to see any post from anyone that clearly showed they were upset or bothered by this. It looks like the consensus is that this is both hilarious and sad on MS's part. Seriously it makes me feel bad for them. I mean this is pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Where is the sad part coming from.  First and foremost, multiple sites have post this ad.  Multiple forums has discussed the ad.  Awareness for MS products and bundles is the result of this ad.  If anythign there isn't anything sad at all but very clever way to advertise your product with a game that is getting a lot of buzz.  The only way you can look at this being sad is if you are totally pro blue then of course its bad by definition.

It's sad because they can't rely on word of mouth to sell it like Ps4 can. It's sad because they are so desperate to attach their name to a third party that they are willing to risk breaching contracts and risk lawsuits. Instead of offering a good first party. Yeah people in forums are talking about this but it's not going to get any of them to buy it. If anything its going to push people away. It's not clever it's desperate and dishonest, and frankly that's why its so funny. Because at this point they are squirming are willing to do anything.

EDIT: I apologize to anyone that was offended by this post. I attempted to use levity to lighten the mood. As Cone kindly pointed out it was a bit trollish and I apologize. I merely meant to express why I found the situation humorous. In all seriousness MS and xbox will be in serious trouble if they do not get their act together. Moves like this tho humorous can often do more harm then good imo and since I've invested in MS consoles since the Xbox I do genuinely care about the future of the console. Yes I may criticize and poke fun from time to time but it is only in jest and in hopes that it riles them into better action. I want great 1st party titles on the console that are more than just Halo or gears. It annoys me that they go to such extreme and often painful to watch tactics in order to attach themselves to third party games when they should be focused on 1st party.
