Eh, it won't stop. We're used to threads specifically meant for bashing a certain console/company. Its too much of the norm now.


Stop playing the victim card. Its stupid, untrue and petty. or have you missed any Wii U/vita sales thread the past two years? Sonys credit rating being downgraded? GT6 sales? 


Did anything in my post say Xbox? That's exactly what I was talking about, EVERYONE gets bashed and its the norm.

Haven't they already been coming out with a Halo game every year since Halo 3.

Edit:  Already pretty much annualized

lol I stopped at "Halo Spartan Assault"... Yah sure, they are "anualizing" it if you count that kind of title...
Do not forget Halo Waypoint, maybe some boardgames too? Risk and all that? that would certainly fit in your "anualizing" definition.

OP: I think this guy is retarded and anyone would still believe him should really reconsider...

Why are you on the defensive :) He was not talking about XBOX threads but in general...

Retarded? If it wasn't for him we'd have idiotic DRM restrictions on the PS4 and XBO. You should be thanking him for organizing such a massive fan campaign. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Yes, "in general we are use to a certain company getting negative threads" = contradictory statement. stop trying to defend the victim card

Just the XBO.

I still don't believe this was a controlled leak. Why in the world would Microsoft want people to think a price cut is coming?

To see the reactions...

The reactions are people not buying the system until a real price cut hits lol.

The only thing I can think of, if this was intentional, is they wanted to weed out CBOAT.  Maybe have a guy posting real info, while leaving something out that CBOAT was told, so CBOAT would post it himself.  Kinda goes with the "played like a fiddle" the other insider posted in CBOAT's thread.  Even if it wasn't from MS, it seems one of their employees went rogue and got tired of CBOAT leaking negative info about the One.  Either way, it makes Xbox fans constant ridiculing of CBOAT as being full of bullshit seem a little pathetic now, as someone (either MS or an employee) felt his info was damning enough to hurt the One's brand/sales.

All I know is this post has got me real curious about NPD for Jan.  Cause if what he says is true, that the first two weeks of sales were low, what does the whole month look like when Sony seems to have gotten large shipments out in the final two weeks?

Oh... And you do not realize that it was not everyone who wanted to get ride of the DRM/all digital/family shring things? Right?
Please, do not start another stupid debate about what is good for people (or you and then generalizing that to the whole population)...
So no, I should be thanking him...

By the way, do you REALLY believe that this guy IS the cause of the reversal lol I hope you know him personnaly to have such a great oppinion of him, if not I would be worried.
