Not at all read the quote. "So many people" should be the first red flag. "Didn't even have to show halo" should be another. "A measure of growth and maturity" is another. the last quote is businessmen talk. If someone said this to him it was his boss telling him to say this.

"So many people" means a lot of people had the same idea. Gamers and journalists were suppose to be the ones telling him this... So how come no gamers here said anything like that and how come no one reported a journalists saying something of the sort?

Why bite? Bad move - 1 day ban.

@LOL MATURE: If someone trolls, just report it - no need to reply.

Did you watch the press conference? The only games we didn't know about was Fable 2 (which we knew next to nothing about), Viva Pinata, some XBL games and FFXIII. The only 2 "big" announcements were Netflix and the avatars.

So if you have no proof than you didn't need to post anything anyway. And btw your history shows you hate MS so don't think you're fooling anyone.

I cannot wait for Bungie to announce their games. More games for 360's already amazing line up.

 Oh so we need proof to make claims now... So Bumidan needs proof for his post about profit and losses... and starcraft needs proof on rumors. And 360 fanboys need proof they will stay ahead this gen and Ps3 fanboys need proof that they will surpass this gen.. which we wont have till the gen is over but thats besides the point... Oh ioi needs proof for his numbers. the source needs proof for his prelim data.

my history shows I hate MS? O.o really? It does nothing of the sort. show me where please.

Who am I trying to fool?

BTW this is the same guy who promised every xbox fan 360 will outsell Ps3 this gen. He said he knows for a fact. If he can lie about something so big like that why can't he lie about this?

If you're going do nothing but troll, get out of this thread.

 If that's directed towards me you may want to learn what trolling is before you claim someone is doing it.

Trolling 101.

Example of trolling - So tell me PS 3 has....... what ??????? without the big guns ?????? tic tac tic tac tic tac.... oh yeah that's right nothing and an other pile of nothing...... isn't that great to have a combi toaster br player that can eventualy play games that have had at least 3 sequel already if not close to 15..... come on please there is one joke on the VG market and that's since day 1...  december 3 1994.... Sony jumps in.............

Example of a debate - Oh so we need proof to make claims now... So Bumidan needs proof for his post about profit and losses... and starcraft needs proof on rumors. And 360 fanboys need proof they will stay ahead this gen and Ps3 fanboys need proof that they will surpass this gen.. which we wont have till the gen is over but thats besides the point... Oh ioi needs proof for his numbers. the source needs proof for his prelim data.

See the difference? The trolling comment is full of things to upset people. It also has nothing to do with the thread or the post he quoted.

The debate comment is directed towards a specific comment, addresses each issue within that comment, and is on the thread topic.

Yeah, because this isn't trolling.

You're "debating" nonsense.

I haven't recieved any punishment for that comment. So obviously it wasn't trolling.

Trolling is...

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response^[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

 Straight from wiki.

Now let's break the definition apart.

 irrelevant or off-topic messages - my original post was very inline with the topic of this forum. The topic is what MS and Bungie had to say about the Bungie announcement not happening. I took what he said and made a statement that I think the guy is lying about people telling him this.

No trolling yet.

with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response - People call PR guys liars all the time and always question their statements. They always disect their words and speculate on them. Whenever a PR statement comes out there is always people saying "he is just doing PR work" or "this is just spin" I didn't do anything different here. Also no one gets bent out of shape when that happens. There may be people who argue about it and try to defend what the PR said is true but no one gets emotional. 

So let me get to the point - Why would I think for one second that someone would respond the way you guys are over my statement. There was no intention to get anyone upset. You guys are just emotional posters apparently.

 or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion - Again my post was very much on-topic. And still is. If anything you guys are the ones de-railing this thread by calling me a troll causing me to defend myself. Tigawoods is the only one that has stayed on-topic with his debates.

You're "debating" nonsense. - Just like how I responded to tigawoods with his "you need proof to post" comment. So you are saying we can only debate intellectual issues? God damn it looks like this site needs to be shut down. After all every debate on it is nonesense and is just filled with fanboy rants.
