So listening to what the consumer demands is a bad thing.......

"We shouldn't be thankful for them backpedaling and doing the bare minimum, they should be thankful that we still support them now after all they've done."

His entire thinking is very sound. He was angry at MS for the mistakes made and called them liars, not the console itself, the console is a worth while choice for any customer.  Anyone here can admit that the Xbone is a good console, look at the games it's got and the changes they've made to make it good. But this is his point, why are many praising MS for making those changes when they had those bad things to begin with? All they are doing is conforming to what should have been standard and he is admitting he still doesn't like the lies MS has said to justify their decisions only to reverse them anyway. Even if he admits the console now is a good choice.

He used the Harmonix game just as an example but it was a game made fully for a console which all units sold had the ability to play their game. Now, that's not true so Harmonix may lose a few sales because some people don't have the Kinect anymore.

Exclusives make a console stand out but it's not a library and it's a library that is important.

Yes and if you watched the video, he did say for him at least all the changes were for the better, doesnt change the fact they lied multiple times, and in case of DRM and Kinect also demanded that these desicsion could not be reveresed, before reversing them and the main point of his video NOT apologising. 

Yes things are better, but they lied and they didnt apologise. thats the point of the video and its all true. 

Yes....so pointless that he had sources to back up what he was complaining about. Hes just mad that MS lied not once but multiple times. He makes a lot of sense, but in the end he shouldn't get so emotional about it. Everyone who games knows MS are the least honest company of the big three and only third to EA and Activision.

i like my xbo, people are too emotional.

he needs to look at the shit firmware support of the ps4 before ranting on xbo.

Hes saying Microsoft lied multiple times and when they got caught and met the lynch mob the changed their ways. They saw that Sony was winning the gamers back over by the load and so they turned the Xbone into a less powerful PS4. They lost focus on the gaming aspect of things for the TV and then went full 180. MS would not have listened to shit if they were ahead of Sony. Members of MS were actually arguing with fans about it until they finally gave in. They never listened to consumer demand...the jig was just up. They couldn't lie about Kinect any longer and they had to drop DRM before they lost their fans and Gamestop lowered the amount of pre orders they would take in. MS pissed almost everyone off  in that period of time.

MS's constant lying caused him to put MS on his shit list, but everything he said was true (when you take away the emotional ranting)

" In a recent conversation between Phil Harrison, Microsoft corporate vice president, and CVG, we learned that cutting Kinect will never happen.
“Xbox One is Kinect. They are not separate systems. An Xbox One has chips, it has memory, it has Blu-ray, it has Kinect, and it has a controller. These are all part of the platform ecosystem.”

MATTRICK: "Some of the advantages that you get, of having, a box that is designed to use an online state, so, that, uh, to me is the future-proof choice, and I think people, could've arguably gone the other way if we didn't do it and fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity, it's called Xbox 360."

Xbox One console will need to connect to the internet every 24 hours for games to work. "Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection," says a statement from the software maker. Microsoft explains that Xbox One accounts can be used on other consoles to access digital libraries, but that an hourly internet check will be required in that particular case.

"game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers,"

Games can also be given to friends via their discs. There are no fees associated with the transfer, but you can only pass them to friends who have been on your Xbox list for at least 30 days and each game can only be transfered once.

To this date, nobody knows what the MS executives were smoking during the first part of 2013.

^ Orth was the first to start flapping his gums protecting MS and the backlash was so bad MS had to let go of him to save face. Now he goes on tours at videogame conferences talking about abuse. Sure gamers are rabid, but they don't like to fucked with when they either have or are about to make an investment.

Agree on every single point with the guy from the vid.

Imo MS is not listenig to their fans, they even didn't apologise for lying. They just want to push the sale numbers, thats all.
