Dude, what the heck? He posts on this forum. I just QUOTED what he said in the last month.....
Seriously. This is beyond crazy. Like Birtherism. Even LinkedIn's main title at the tops says he is only Product Planning....Marketing was his previous position.

Unless you can prove that he don't work as Director Of Marketing at Microsoft, then yes I'm serious.
He said he's not PR = Public relations =/= Marketing.

I think your reading to much into the fact that hes posting on GAF has a direct correlation to a bonus structure.
Maybe my post was confusing, if pre-orders where low there then the bonus structure would likely be low, so in a reversal of it the more "good news" can put out there the more chances of an increase in pre-orders, so more than likely a higher bonus.
Maybe my post was unclear
I asked you a question about who Shu is and this is your reponse....classy.
Oh my lmfao. That will be THE bloodsoaked thread.

I want a next gen Warriors game. I like the cut of your jib.
Meh, the quarterly results will be much better. Both systems will sell out in November and December, the real question is how do they hold up after the holidays.
Using gaf to market products. naw that never happens.
Besides, you know that there are people whose entire job it is to post on places like twitter, facebook, and even forums pretending to be someone else?
If I was advising someone who was looking to engage the public in social media, I would strongly advise having a pro do twitter/forum/facebook shit; or at the absolute least, have every twit, fb post, forum post re-written by a PR guy before going live.
AP has enough intelligence and PR experience not to need this, probably.
There will definitely be blood.

Reading the last page of this thread is like a visual representation of the Benny Hill theme song.
It actually went 7 whole pages of real discussion before going off the rails
Great interview

You are seriously uninformed enough to not know who Shuhei "Shu" Yoshida is? He's the one who opened Sony's Gamescom show by actually using the PS4 OS. I'm surprised you don't know him seeing he's better than most of the big 3's execs and is right on twitter with us. He's even acknowledged GAF and rolls with punches. See the thread where David Cage put him to sleep.
Laid that million dollar dream right on him.
You now know.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Fantastic interview.
Albert is very frank and straight forward in his responses, good on him for acknowledging Sony's efforts as well.
I can't believe people in this topic are hating on something as straight forward as this interview lol.

He posts on this board daily. Ask him yourself if you really think his title has anything to do with this interview or this thread.

No, I just remember Bishop is the one that tagged Albert on this forum, so he can just say "hey, he is this...end of story."
If it is another mod, they can say it. Just everyone is crazy over a misprint on LinkedIn that HE himself has to update. Not the press....

But you can't honestly think he believes that posting on GAF will have any tangible effect on his bonus, do you? Because that's absolutely insane.

He is great at providing info that is actually very understandable and to the point. A great corporate asset IMO, for any company.
I just don't see why people are so intense on down playing the guy.

There's also an interview with him at Ars Technica:

Anything that drives sales has an effect surely? either up or down
I honestly thought you were purposefully obtuse. The spoiler was a direct plug to Shu Yoshidas twitter.
Chobel

Yeah I fucked up, didn't see that Albert said he didn't work in marketing.
Director of Marketing is not his title. Is English not your first language?
His Linkedin is not up to date. Feel free to refer to his twitter or his posts discussing the subject here on GAF.

Oh him; I just wasn't aware of him enough to call him "Shu." Thanks for the info.

Ugh.
No, I know who he is now..just didn't know him well enough to figure out who he was in your initial post.
a 420hp gtrs with slick tires and suspension will probably lap faster than a zr1 on stock tires/suspension. the same can happen if you try and strip the porsche of its unnecessary weight.
in this way of thinking, a lightweight gtrs with 420hp can lap faster not only from a zr1, but from a bigturbo porsche 911t with mods for extra power, but without mods for sticking to the road.
his point is tweaking stuff and the improvement you get from there. so its not all that wrong.
your analogy is more clear on strictly oem cars and parts, yes. but see above.

ps4 had a weeks head start!
That is why MSFT (or maybe Nintendo!) started that Hynix fire! Just to delay a week of chips!!!
Yes...a joke.
Do you? Looks competitive last time I checked, not like you look at Ryse and Forza and say, whoa! PS4 games of the same genre are in a different league. In fact I don't get that at all.

Then leave? There are literally thousands of other threads available for your entertainment? if these threads are so sensitive to your enjoyment of Gaf , ignore the usual suspects, or the threads themselves? quit being a drama queen.

Well, yes. It's also a "coincidence" that digital games on every other marketplace "kill the used game market" while also allowing instant switching and other conveniences, heh.
It would've been up to customers to decide if the conveniences of instant switching with
some, since apparently publishers could limit this
Of course, we never got a chance to see that theory tested, since that version of the system won't be released to the public
Well, in a limited sense, the theory was was tested via pre-order numbers, I suppose...

Just join the PC realm and be done with it all
parts will be here on the 9th!
That's kind of funny in a way. As the Xbox brand has made a name for itself as being the "cool console" over the years. That Sony can somehow take that away. Is that because of the things that Sony has done to inflate their image to that level, or because of the things Microsoft has done to deflate their own "cool" image?
Or maybe in attempting to pander to dudebros so hard, it looks like someone trying too hard and actually comes off as a little insulting to those same people? (Doritos, Mt Dew, "Visceral Experiences")
I really don't know.
Thank you very much for posting it fellow GAFfer, just finished watching.
Albert Penello, is also a GAFfer? I was wondering what would be the best form to get in touch with him for just some simple questions. I've been at Microsoft HQ recently in my country and I ended with an amazing recommendation Letter from the MS Product Planning itself in here, it sure does means a lot to me and I believe they don't to this very often.
If any kind fellow GAFfer can help me with this, please, let me know. Thanks in advance.

As for Sessler I think he did some good questions, nice interview overall.

Product planning is part of Marketing though for people saying he is unrelated to that. Albert is here to explain some of the vagueness sorrounding the XBO. Though some of you need to calm down and accept that he is not here only because he enjoys neogaf. He wanted to clear up some confusion but he is also trying to get people excited for a product he enjoys and believes in. Both sides are being a little extreme with everything. I think Albert is a cool dude and needs to be cut some slack. Most of the crappy policies were probably dictated by the highest levels and he had to work with what he got.

Albert with that real talk
He works for Microsoft. Microsoft is not liked on gaf. Xbox is not generally liked on gaf as of late. The Xbox One is not particularly liked on gaf. This isn't everyone, but it's a large, loud majority.

Yep, I checked his comments here, He doesn't work in marketing.
Man I really hate all the Mountain Dew adverts with Xbox I have to wonder how much that actually does for the game or system being advertised. I would love to look at that marketing research. And there we go I wish Albert was still Marketing so he could shed some light on that.

I must have missed the sticky, I apologize.
Oh they exist I'm sure, they're just a lot tougher to see because they're in the middle of the wave of good sentiment towards Sony. They're not really any sort of "dissenting voice to the majority opinion" if you will.
