Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft: Xbox One Will Start Ahead and Stay Ahead

Sounds crazy to me, i had to post this o.O

Microsoft Canada's Xbox director of marketing Craig Flannagan has gone sales and pre-launch Kerrrr-razzzy and has developed the ability to see 10 years in advance.

 

In that strangely childlike way that marketing people sometimes fall into when they sniff a bonus from the management, Craig began by bigging up his product over the PS4 with, "It's the most hardware we've ever produced. It's the most we've ever pre-sold. We're preselling a little over 2-to-1 from what we did with Xbox 360. The momentum on launch has been really good", before he went full-on.

He told GamesIndustry International, "Xbox One is going to start ahead, in terms of the experience we can deliver," using an superb gobbet of jargon there and keeping up the BS superbly with...

 

"And because we're built for the future, we're going to stay ahead. I think there is not a better experience you can buy this holiday, and there will not be a time this generation where there's a better experience you can buy than Xbox One...And it's probably going to be a pretty long generation. We're probably here for a while because we're built for the future. This is a console that will last you, conservatively a decade, if I had to put a bet down today."

 

Stop Craig! Calm down dude. But he can't! 

 

Craig doesn't just see the console last 10 years, he sees it like this, "Much like 360, Xbox One's not going to look a whole lot five years from now like it does on November 22, 2013. I don't know where it's going to go, but that's kind of fun because we're built for the future. We do have a connection; we can change what things look like and how it performs."

 

IT'S BUILT FOR THE FUTURE - get it?

nice misleading title,

"Xbox One is going to start ahead, in terms of the experience we can deliver,"

PR guy says something PR...

 

edit: just realized thats the articles fault, not yours. 



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

Ok so its going to stay ahead of the 360, good



He is comparing it to the 360, not the ps4. He is saying they are going to start ahead of 360 sales and stay ahead of them. It really isnt that crazy or strange



LOL!! Sounds like usual everyday PR to me. Basically the guy says

------->  We offer the best experience
------->  We offer a 10 year plan

Take away the Spong crap and see for yourself :

"Xbox One is going to start ahead, in terms of the experience we can deliver [...] And because we're built for the future, we're going to stay ahead. I think there is not a better experience you can buy this holiday, and there will not be a time this generation where there's a better experience you can buy than Xbox One...And it's probably going to be a pretty long generation. We're probably here for a while because we're built for the future. This is a console that will last you, conservatively a decade, if I had to put a bet down today."

"Xbox One is going to start ahead, in terms of the experience we can deliver,"

true, since they can't deliver ps4 experience.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

Actually I think he is comparing to the PS4, but in non-quantifyable matters where he can't be wrong.

"I think there is not a better experience you can buy this holiday, and there will not be a time this generation where there's a better experience you can buy than Xbox One"



...

Clearly the best sounding launch PR



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

This guy must not have read/watched this analytical article....
