very smart advertisement for the people they are shooting for


whom is that?  the nfl fan that is watching an nfl game but really wishes they had a way to watch the game they are already watching?    that guy that wants to watch football but is desperate to have the game interupted by video chat calls?  the dude that thinks the already persistant onscreen game stat updates isn't enough and want to dedicate even more screen space to games other than the one they wanted to watch?


2nd question-you know that there are other easier ways to watch a game? Why go to a game if you could just watch from somewhere else?

3rd-The guy who doesn't think it's desperate or that it's an interruption. Just cause you say it doesn't make it true. 

 

 

4th-maybe it won't be intrusive to most people at all. PiP works great. Side by Side(ESPN) also works great. 

 1. you understand that you can't watch NFL on xbone without already having a cable service with a subscription to ESPN right?  this changes nothing about what content you have access to.  it's not a matter of going to the game or getting an xbox.  it's a matter of paying $500 + $60 a year in xbl to watch the same games that the ESPN subscriber already has access to just without the fantasy football stats on the side.  is that really a compelling offer to you?

2. ..and just because you say it doesn't make it true.  but i know i don't answer any calls during a game.  whatever it is it can wait.

3. have you not seen the screens?  it is damn intrusive imo...    i'd rather have half my screen back especially as a majority of the score updates are already part of the brocast.

1. I got ya but your cable provider doesn't have gaming like the Xbox though. It's why they market it as an all in one. You can watch through us and game + more.

2. You said it though and seemed like you applied it to everyone for a reason they wouldn't want the device. It doesn't bother some people. 

3. I would want a full screen for me but some people don't mind at all. I don't understand it but some do.

1- In case of ESPN you just need internet subscription not cable. And I pay $32 a year for XBL.

2- I call my cousin during the games to tell him in your face when my team scores. With Skype? It's really gonna be in his face.

3- I'm used to watch European soccer leagues on week-end with a shrunk screen by news tickers cause I'm a sport junkie.

Perfect device for a gamer/sports fan like me.

You can get sports highlights and content that's available on ESPN.com, but you need to sync up with your cable provider like you would through Watch ESPN. In other words, don't expect to get to watch free ESPN with your Xbox Live Gold membership, you still need an account through your local cable provider. More on that later.

...

Now some initial concerns. This isn't a new complaint, but one that I feel has to be addressed in the future for those paying $59.95 a year for an Xbox Live Gold membership is the fact that despite the relationship with ESPN and NFL there are no "exclusive" services aside from the interface. To watch ESPN TV, you still need a cable account. These are added costs on top of your gold membership. 

It would be extremely nice to see one of these partnerships turn into some exclusive deal with content that users can get through their Gold memberships. More bang for the buck if you will. 

More and more folks are cutting their cable TV cords in favor of tailored services. Isn't Xbox Live such a service? Why not give users a reason to call this a true entertainment experience and hub? 

Also, the quality of the video through both ESPN and NFL remains to be seen, as what we saw was not a final build. 

Both ESPN and NFL.com for Xbox One are great for hardcore sports fans looking for a more interactive experience. For the casual fan though, there are a lot of hoops to jump through if you're just looking for scores of your teams and the occasional update or highlight. If you're not the fantasy football type, then the NFL.com experience also loses a bit of it's lustre, though not all of it.

 

 

...and if you are already a gamer i imagine you will quite enjoy this feature, kind of like i enjoy having a web browser on my ps3.  but for non-gamers the price tag is awfully high for not much of a feature.  i just can't see anyone buying an xbox just for this.

I think this demonstrates my point, which you clearly didn't get.

Then add the fact that no games were shown...and you see the overlap diminish.

 

i'll go ever further if every person in the world sees it they could be converted, im just saying that you suggest only the green part is the target of microsoft while its everyone!

This is a dedicated gaming machine with some added features; to even suggest that it targets everyone is asinine. I have nothing more to say on the matter. If you don't want to be realistic, that's your prerogative.

whats not realistic that non gamers can become gamers?  i cant believe im actually discussing this just because i wanted to point out how flawed that fig was. as you can see im not the only one questioning it

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Maybe those that want to follow their fantasy league while not having to look away from the game or leave the room to check their monitor on fantasy updates. Maybe those that couldn't get together with their buddies to watch the game but can just skype call them so they can watch the game together. Maybe those that want the full experience of fantasy, live score updates and don't want to switch channels while the game is playing. 

I guess I'm one of those dudes then.

I just have internet service with Comcast and and $32 of Live. I watch EPL, La Liga and Portuguese championship every week-end. I don't watch highlights on Xbox.

I think they understand that 20 plus million people are going to be watching the game tonight while this ad runs on TV.


The original Xbox was pumped into homes during the SB and that didn't help them at all. Things like this only work if the amount of people seeing it, want it.

built in FF league sounds good

1. Times have changed since the original Xbox was released.

2. How would you know who wants it unless you advertise it.

If I go to friend's house to watch a game and he starts talking to the TV, i will leave.

Didn't help them at all? Yeah it did and the evidence is in the 360 numbers. Word of mouth carried over.
