  Why won't MS just shut up?

For the same reason Sony will not shut up about having the most powerful console or Nintendo for having the better games etc.  They all want your money.  One thing is evident is that on paper the X1 does not compete with the PS4 so its up to MS to actually show that the games when compared side by side do not represent the gap that the general specs are representing.  Its in MS best intererest to get the word out now so when the games come and there is no difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd party games then they can come back and toute their system efficiency.  Now if MS cannot demostrate that the specs doesn't matter and there is a real and clear advantage whether its eye candy or performance, then MS probably has dung themselves a whole.  Eiher way, talk is cheap so lets see these games in action.


Except that MS talk about being about equal daily and Sony/Ninty talk about their advantage montlhy and mostly when asked not on forums... but I understand the need of MS to do that, but is seems that they harm themselves more than help, and for the Xbox fans I don't desire that system are about equal, but that the games are enjoyable to them, because that is what matters.

I am not sure about this daily part you are talking about. It was a post on Gaf which was then tweeted by Larry.  If this is what you call daily then I am not sure how you measure such things.  I will say the issues have been discussed in the forums alot but thats different.  There is no harm because the people that buy the bulk of these consoles do not read tweets or go to Gaf for info.  When all is said and done it will be the same thing that always define a generation, The games.  

Are you sure you don't see Daily reports on MS rumours about how much better it secretly is and after Sept 21 we will now it all, or Penelo PR stunts and everything else?? Everyday there is a new new and a new thread here about it... be honest about it.

I thought you were talking about MS official statements not a bunch of forum post and threads on this or other sites.  If anything thats probably good for MS as it keeps people talking about the console.  I bolded your line and the assumption I gain from that is that you are saying that MS has talked about their hardware in comparision with the PS4.  I only remember this one Gaf post on the subject.

So you better get the medicines right because your memory is really bad... we have discussed this issues daily because of new report, responses, twitters and whatsoever of the likes of Penelo, Turn 10, etc. It's not by stretch that people here think MS looks desperate after seeing they daily denying power diference, talking about balance, about enhancements, secret sauce, etc.

I do not think we are on the same page.  From one comment many post were made but that does not mean MS has been making a bunch of comments about their console specs.  You have over how many months a few actual comments from MS and you are making statements as if this was some barrage from the company. 

WHo cares if people think MS looks desperate.  Those same people always thought MS was desperate anyway.  It has always been on MS to show there is no power difference so it doesn't matter if today people think one way.  If MS is able to prove their point then good, if not then they have to deal with it.

Also you seem to be mixing forum post with official comments from MS.  You really should separate the 2 because they are not one and the same.  I am only arguing the point that MS has not made any more comments on the subject then about 2 or 3 since the console release.  You are combining a bunch of forum post and making it appear as if these are official statements from the company.
