i now know what 'aceybongos' means. so, mission accomplished? ...
I do find Xbox's reaction to promotion deals held by other companies to be odd.
Xbox has plenty / has had plenty of 3rd party promotion exclusivity and Sony, as far as I know has never attempted these methods to circumvent restrictions.
Some of the responses in this thread are straight up embarrassing.
The orginals had much more weight or something, the new ones looks very scripted/boring.
Who the hell cares?Exactly.
MS launched XBO with every multiplat marketing deal and as far as I can remember Sony never tried to circumvent MS contractual agreements. They stayed humble. Never got into the fragrance business or made these types of videos. If it's just harmless fun why the splash screen promos promoting 5 hours early access (not sure if it's 5 or 8 hours.)
XB has done a lot of good but they need to stop with the contradictions at a corporate level. Especially since they are claiming they have the greatest holiday lineup in history. They should stick with that if they truly believe it.
Who the hell cares?
What? Do you think Sony gets hurt every time Microsoft does something like this? All they're doing with this is saying "Hey, that game is on Xbox too!!!". I found the Destiny fragrance thing kind of funny and I say the same for this one.
Classy avatar quote. When you just don't know what to say you do an avatar quote.
Or maybe they weren't smart enough to think to try.
Anyway, are you arguing against the (albeit a bit hypocritical) mockery of something that most people on this forum think is bullshit?
Desperation at its finest.Exactly.

This, I agree with.Most aren't but to comment on this video in any manner other than positive is to be a poster who takes things to serious supposedly.
Under those conditions posters like yourself expect this to be nothing more than an echo chamber of positivity for MS PR.
Also a Major Nelson's post is a bit much, victimised it seems.
Exactly.

Oh my god.
This post is bizarre, I really can't tell if it's serious.Exactly.

Holy shit this thread. No fun allowed indeed.Right, as if the only reason not to act like a spoiled snot is because it never occurred to anyone else. MS basically invented marketing exclusivity and now that it has turned on them they keep making smarmy ads because of their sour grapes. They aren't poking fun at the practice, they are trying to have their cake and eat it too.

you realised 'fuck i got nothing' and just quoted his avatar. Good on ya.
when even the pr mouthpiece of ms use the usual Victimisation on gaf(its because its xbox,this is sonygaf yaddayadda),you know we have reached a new low
i find odd that after the mattrick debacle and phil spencer new direction this guy still have a job,in some ways is the personification of some of the problems MS past years

Lol.... I love the persecution complex arguement, it is the ultimate cop out.
You must have missed the cloud threads, or the "Quantum Break might be rubbish" thread, every Tomb Raider thread, any comment by Phil Spector threads, the recent MS PC support thread, every Titanfall thread, ect, ect.ect...
Is GAF Sony Gaf? No, but there is a tremendous amount of vitriol in a lot of the MS threads by some people, some even leading to locked threads. Worse to me is that it is consistently tolerated.
There are even people attacking the OP on here for cheerleading MS products... fucking seriously?
On topic... keep it up Major, don't let the negativity get you down.
I was pretty shocked at Major's post too. He's usually more composed than the other Microsoft reps that have posted here in the past.
I think the reason why Phil Spencer hasn't fired him is because that would be hypocritical. Phil Spencer was part of the problem too.
What problem may I ask? It's just a funny video man, nothing more, nothing less. Sometime the hate is bloody blinding to some.
Oh yeah I'm sure Sony is fuming at a YouTube video with a whopping 20k views. What are they ever going to do with all those Battlefront bundles. I guess they better send them to that warehouse in New Zealand.
One party paying another party to prevent a third party from fully advertising a part of their own product seems borderline anti-competitive to me.
That's why I only give pennies to the Salvation Army.
Even thought I said I was out of this thread, just tell me. "Pretty much" what?Pretty much.
So him saying some of the people here will hate on this because they hate Microsoft is invalid and bs? Have you seen this thread? Or the cloud threads. Or the Crackdown threads. Or the Phil Spencer threads.when even the pr mouthpiece of ms use the usual Victimisation on gaf(its because its xbox,this is sonygaf yaddayadda),you know we have reached a new low

Neogaf.
I mean, SOMEONE has to enforce Sony's marketing deals, right?
Right?

Well, Major Nelson was fully onboard the crazy train back in the days of catastrophic Xbox One reveal, backtracking and series of PR disasters. Cringe videos like this certainly don't help the case.I was pretty shocked at Major's post too. He's usually more composed than the other Microsoft reps that have posted here in the past.

Or the Driveclub threads, or the Order threads, or the PSN is down again threads, or the WiiU threads, or the Witcher is better on PC threads?
Stop being such a wet and crying about things that happen to everything else, just because you like xbone best.
Maybe it was just legitimately not funny?
Listen here you little shit.

Mattrick, Whitten, Mehdi and Harrison are gone, maybe it's time for MN to take a backseat too.

Count me into the small group of people (in this thread) that found this video hilarious. I mean, it was corny but clearly intentionally so. It's like something you'd expect out of Mega64, and I love those guys. I'd love to see a Major Nelson x Mega64 collaboration some day.
Also, this thread is embarrassing. Not just the personal attacks directed at the OP and Larry, but purveyance of the self-concocted notion that Microsoft are dicks/petty/desperate and should leave Sony's marketing rights alone. I find it great that Microsoft keeps doing these ads, because exclusive marketing is a bullshit practice. One party paying another party to prevent a third party from fully advertising a part of their own product seems borderline anti-competitive to me.

Or the PS4 library is a disaster thread, or the PlayTV is a disaster thread, etc etc etc. People in this thread seam to have selective memory if they feel Sony gets away scott free.
Because all those issues with release or network or a trash game not delivering is the same as a tech demo or Phils comment. Completely equal. This isn't about Microsoft getting away "scott free". What are they trying to get away with? Having an amazing crackdown demo? Making fun videos?Or the PS4 library is a disaster thread, or the PlayTV is a disaster thread, etc etc etc. People in this thread seam to have selective memory if they feel Sony gets away scott free.
