Hate to break it to you ethomaz but the unprofessional comment was directed at both Sony and ms. And he is correct.

Sent a e-mail to gameindustry.biz: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-06-12-xbox-ones-e3-showing-very-unprofessionally-done-says-molyneux

And he is cleary talking about MS: "I just think it was very unprofessionally done. There was one message from one Phil and then another message from another Phil,"

There is no Phil in Sony.

Anyway you can remove the Sony part from the article (Sony charged the strategy due MS... nothing more)... he is talking about MS only like he always did.

"I do worry sometimes when I come to E3, especially this E3, I worry just how much we're pushing the industry forward. It's not about the indies and - I'm probably going to get into trouble for saying this - it's not about bringing new people and consumers into the game industry. It's about pleasing existing gamers," Molyneux commented. "The whole design of the consoles is about pleasing existing gamers, and actually what Microsoft did was they went from the first press conference and they kind of lost their nerve a bit, and they said, 'Oh crikey, we better just nail the core consumers.' I don't know whether that vision of how to interact with our audience is the right vision, to say we're all about core, that's who our audience is, we know how many Call of Dutys we're going to sell."

"If we look at [the industry's] 10-year future or 20-year future, if we still continue to be inward looking rather than outward looking, I worry about it. That's why I think the indies, myself included, [have to push games forward]. We should be appealing to new audiences, we should be using this insane, crazy tech in a completely different, game-changing way, so these huge corporations turn around and say, 'you know what, maybe we should look at that software'."

I'm confuse about the part where he said "its not about bringing new people and consumers into the industry" and the part where he said "we should be appealing to new audiences" isn't that like contradicting?

Peter doesn't half try and pander to gamers these days to get people to like him. I don't think either were unprofessional??

The benefits of being online for X1 don't necessarily outweigh all the shit needed, but they do exist. He's a game dev so you think he'd be more clued on ...

So glad he left Lionhead though, gives me renewed faith in Fable.

He's just mad that Fable 3 is going free for all gold users for a month ;)

Though I agree most with what was said.


LOL and agreed! It could also be revenge for that Fable Kinect title!

MS should have been more clear, though they released the information before E3 also.

YOU agree with him?

Because he seems to be saying that Xbox ONE has enormous potential, and a strategy that can bring us great things, and their only problem is bad PR

I agree that they are handling the E3 in the wrong way and that MS needs to try to sell their strategy... for now they only showed us how bad is their strategy.

If there are any good thing in all the stuffs MS is doing they needs to show to consumer what is that... makes the goods parts more important than the bad parts.

So I agree with this but I don't know if there are anything good in MS strategy.

what bad.... beside bad PR what is bad.... 24h check ins, pseudo privacy issues and lending a disc we won't have in the first place because its the all digital era.... are pretty much non issues... just good for gamer geeks and relevent to a minority with too much time to waste....and only a few people amongst the few geek gamers will really have issues with that... so please enlight us what is bad beside you guys blowing things out of proportion when in reality most of it is way more convenient and modern than the competition???

I saw this dude on IGN and my take is: don´t trust him, he is one bitter, selfish, lazy, liar m**her**cker, and he is way to biased towards Microsoft, which is, of course, because of Fable royalties.
All this crap is stupid anyways, yes, Sony will have an advantage in the next gen, and, by God, they need a break.
But MS will be JUST FINE, I will not buy it, but America will buy the X1 like crazy, and some of the Europe too.
It will be like this:
America: MS= 50% Sony= 40% Nintendo=10%
Europe: Sony=50% MS=30% Nintendo=20%
Japan: Sony=67% Nintendo=30% MS=3% (on imports, if no release, up to 6% with an oficial release, take it ou of Sony´s slice).
Rest of the world: Whatever console is hacked first win, which sucks for them anyways, however, this is so minor that it does not really matter. For instance, in Latin America, PS3 sold 1 million consoles from oficial outlets, another million from imports (probably 95% hacked), almost nothing.

Worldwide lifetime sales prediction:

PS4: 90 million.

XBOXONE: 70 million.

WIIU: 30 million.

Botton line is: Mollineux is a disgusting individual and should retire.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

For now everything is bad related to Xbone... MS didn't showed nothing good about it... only bad news.
