Did GameSpot go too far with this "Is It Time To Buy An Xbox One" video?

I mean...I understand that these are just the opinions of the people there, and plenty of them are valid complaints, but why did Gamespot think this was a good idea to post?

How was this going to end in any other way than Xbox fans being pissed?

I was thinking the same thing. This is not a great way to appeal to the Xbox userbase and stuff like this certainly doesn't encourage MS to advertise on their site. What is the goal other than annoying some of thier readers/viewers?

More time was spent bitching about the interface than talking about games. They're out of touch.

Now, I don't think publications should be deciding what to send out based on what would piss off advertisers. That's sort of chicken shit, and I don't think them sharing there opinions is wrong either and I'm glad they didn't lie about it for the sake of keeping everyone happy. If they hate the interface then they should say that, I just hope they aren't surprised by the backlash.
