People don't like to see their freedom questioned, Microsoft should have realized that. They've been trying to impose their rules against the consumer for years, and now is the time for consumers to draw the line and say no. Youtube is just the tip of the iceberg : on French sites for example the community is massively against Xbone.

You have the freedom to not buy MS products.

Sure, and I will use it! But I was talking about (almost) always online and used games.

GokuVegetaRainbowdash2k6 doesn't like the Xbox One? I'm sure Microsoft are devastated.

Once per 24 hours = ALMOST always online for you?
oh my... This is getting really ridiculous :)



Microsoft is not handling this well, I just hope they see where they went wrong. I mean its pretty clear. They are isolating 9 audiences when Sony and Nintendo are doing nothing but embracing them. The 9 aforementioned audiences being:

Satellite television users,

Non-television users,

Non-internet users,

Used game buyers,

Used game sellers(GameStop),

Xbox Live Arcade users,

Independent developers,

People opposed to motion controls,

and People who like their privacy


Its never a good idea to isolate an audience, let alone 9. I just don't see their logic, they think they will be the future but if they don't cater to the audiences they will certainly be left in the past.

I guess you can just chalk this one up to the curse of the 3rd.

would do it as well. 90% of comments are only from people who try to talk shit about it and who were never interested in it.

youtube is so horrible if it comes to console war...and then you get always the pc guys who have to comment every console game and how bad it looks. like a big kindergarten. 

those people should learn to communicate "civilized" if they want to get listened


It's the opposite actually. The people most upset by the Xbox One reveal were fans of the 360. 



Around the Network

I don't think people are reacting very positively to the comments being disabled, either. Before, the dislikes were at ~33%. Since they disabled the comments, it jumped up to 40%. Anybody think they'll take the vid down if it reaches 50% dislikes?



They can't handle the truth but it's too late to change much of the main criticisms of the console. They are between a rock and a hard place



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

The nerds don't like it, mainstream users might. No shock. Besides, youtube is the worst trash-talking channel on earth, the amount of shit through the comments there is staggering.

This.

There isn't a place riddled with more trolls than YouTube.

N4G?

Exactly. Non-360 fans saw this coming a mile away.



And the damage control continues.
