This is good.

After the reveal, MS employees were bombarded with questions they werent equipped to answer.

This will ensure it doesnt happen again.

 

Really...?  This is pretty much what Microsoft is doing given the current situation they put themselves in...


Either way, they're screwed.  Good?  If you say so...

Ask Disolitude. He seems to be very knowledgeable about the benefits of DRM.

Games games and games will be their strategy.

And now people (haters?) want to know more about features.

Anything MS does at e3 will not matter, as I said, because the sales power for this console wil come from the mainstream who are interested in the television functionality, which, as it happens, is what I'm most interested in....what made me think, "man, ms is going to kill it with this console" during the console reveal.

The mainstream gives no shits about e3 or gamescom or reviewers. They care about features that apply to them, and their venues are talk shows, not electronics shows, and they don't ask technical questions.

So you think the general public will spend several hundred dollars, plus an annual fee, to utilize features on their television that they're already paying for separately?

That's the sticking point, especially since, in their target region, you're most likely to get high-speed internet through the company that provides your television, and it seems like in this case you need a TV service anyway.

I'm not sure what they're trying to sell here.

They say one wrong PR statement.....and there goes your megatons and new IP announcements. The games will then take a back seat.

MS doesn't want that, nor do I.Answers will come, but E3 just isn't the time. Games.

..it's not bad PR though.  it's a bad feature set.

if MS has a "good" answer to the critizism they should come out with it.  get it out now so people have time to diguest, discuss, and forget about before E3.  waiting makes it looks like all our fears will come true.  ..and if that's the case you are absolutly right, there goes the megatons and new ips - who cares if you can't play the games because you don't have internet...

Sounds like they're still working out the details of certain things that they know will be drilled. It's the right call.

Does Sony have one scheduled? I'd be very surprised if it wasn't cancelled to now.

hmm, im not sure how youre portraying my argument, but i cant say it is being well interpreted here.

None of what i wrote precludes public awareness that xbox plays video games like halo, dance central, call of duty, etc.

Pretty sure wii fit made huge rounds on the talk circuit.

Regardless of the argument here, there is a lot of truth in the understanding that the mainstream gets its news from yahoo, cnet, and talk shows.

Im also pretty sure that what sold millions of dance centrals werent gamers watching e3.

A tv media box wouldnt sell to the mainstream, to answer your question, but a box that does all that and plays games (whatever they may be) could be a good selling point for moms and pops who are likely just as clueless about used games or drm.
