MS don't care, that is obvious.
Lets look at the possibilities.
Always online is real. MS is not stupid. They know hardcore gamers would piss and moan and gripe about this. So, the reactions to the rumors, are not surprising or relevant to MS. MS also knows the every day gamer has not heard of these rumors and even some that have, don't care. They live in a city with reliable Internet and don't care about the requirement. Either way, in this scenario, the only way MS cares about the rumors, is if they had it in their heads that somehow, hardcore gamers would love it and accept it. Since we all know that isn't the case, MS does not care about the rumors.
The other scenario of course, is that always online is not real. Or it exists, but not in the way we're assuming. In this scenario, MS sees a bunch of hardcore gamers on NeoGAF reacting negatively towards something that doesn't even exist. They might be worried that the every day gamer will catch wind of this nonsense, and it might sway their opinion. Then they realized they have not even confirmed a Nextbox exists yet, yet alone shown it off to the world. In this scenario they know that as soon as they take the tarp off, all these rumors will be put to rest and that these consoles are still 7 or so months away from release. So once again, MS does not care about the rumors.

possibly
but just in case
Well, at least that removes the shock of things. It is likely more the attitude Orthy showed than anything else.
| Osc89 said: There are only four options: Always on, happy with rumour - Bad obviously and unlikely, is this really how you would want to let everyone know? Always on, sad with rumour - Also very bad, and they didn't get a chance to spin it so looks even worse to the potential customers. Not always on, happy with rumour - Pretty bad, as they must have quite a terrible console if their strategy is "it could be worse guys". Not always on, sad with rumour - Mostly good, the console might actually be ok, but they have bad buzz before they have even started. So personally, I am hoping they are unhappy and that it isn't true. |
I think it will be alright, it is not true, but it will help their presentation, as someone already stated, if they bring uo the false issue and say that it is not the case, people will be so happy that the whole thing will have a brighter and happier tone to it. To me it is all brilliant strategy from MS.
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
Even If MS reveals an Xbox without DRM (the scenario which pleasantly surprises everyone), you cannot say it's not a reaction to the uproar Adam caused.
the PS4 rumors on 4K and 5 GB ram were not wrong.
4K is for movie output and Sony beefed up the RAM to 8GB last minute without the developers even knowing.

Or they're just use him testing,accidentally or not
