Support NeoGAF

Google translated from an IGN Spain opinion article:

However, the key for me was the end of a revealing interview with Craig Davidson, Director of Global Marketing Microsoft. According to him, "Xbox One will surprise the world during E3." Ending with a resounding "We will kill Sony at E3".

dat arrogance.

jwk94 · May 30, 2013

Well that's upfront.

Yoshichan · May 30, 2013

Next-gen begins now

Syph Medwes · May 30, 2013

9 new Kinect games confirmed

Tempy · May 30, 2013

That's one way to win.

Takuya · May 30, 2013

Did he really use the word kill? lol

SolidsnackooFoxhound · May 30, 2013

So they're going to go to jail instead of doing the presentation. That's nice.

kittens · May 30, 2013

I'm kind of afraid of this, honestly. I'm afraid MS are going to show a bunch of really awesome games that I won't get to play because I refuse to support their console.

Vinnk · May 30, 2013

I was worried the quote was from Sony themselves after they decided they will announce a no used games/always on scheme at E3.

specialguy · May 30, 2013

i would expect a pretty strong show but gaf will still hate it.

Mung · May 30, 2013

This is sad.. They shouldn't build expectations that high surely

antonz · May 30, 2013

I expect Microsoft has opened the war chest to buy up as much exclusive dlc, games etc it can because they need all they can to try and overwhelm the negativity.

Takuya · May 30, 2013

Thread title should reflect that Microsoft is saying this.

Cheesecakebobby · May 30, 2013

Mistranslation. He actually said "We will KISS Sony at e3".

Danny-Boy · May 30, 2013

How many bullets does MS have in that suicide gun? It never ends.

BlazingDarkness · May 30, 2013

:lol

Should be a fun E3.

B.O.O.M · May 30, 2013

MS is going 2006 sony on us all right...smh

Lumpy Onion · May 30, 2013

That's not nice. I don't want these game companies to start killing each other. These are only games for god god sakes!

A boycott isn't really a boycott unless you're willing to suffer for it.

Pistolero · May 30, 2013

Reeks of arrogance...but not unlikely. Going by rumors, they've secured some solid Third-Party games, and they've massively expanded their internal studios (23 studios in total, that's 10 more than Sony!). I think their show will be spectacular...

RamzaIsCool · May 30, 2013

E3 is gonna be fun! Somebody tweet this to Yoshida. Let's instigate a war of words!!

VOOK · May 30, 2013

Wow, wanker.

Artorias · May 30, 2013

Alert the authorities.

Also, salty.

Log4Girlz · May 30, 2013

But they'll be slain at retail.

Air Zombie Meat · May 30, 2013

First they need to work out how to not kill themselves.

SMT · May 30, 2013

The blood-lust is strong in this thread.
lol I'm more interested in seeing you die after having shot yourself in the foot, and stomach, Microsoft.

As they say, 'DAT ARROGANCE'.

Just let me play my 360 games on Windows 8, and I'll call it even.

Well Microsoft is at -100 on a scale of 1-10, so it would have to be pretty damn remarkable for them to come out on top, tbh.

Jonnyram · May 30, 2013

Sounds like they are gonna give the Xbone away for free or something.
Surely that would only harm Sony in the US, though.

SpinningBirdKick · May 30, 2013

XBone gives you Cancer, confirmed.

True words, and I'm willing to suffer. There is a reason I am a hardcore gamer, it's because unlike the average consumer, I won't put up with that bullshit they are trying to pull.

abstract alien · May 30, 2013

Ha, I love it. Good job MS, good job.

Metalmurphy · May 30, 2013

That probably means they have some crazy exclusive.

Exentryk · May 30, 2013

*Insert gif where Ballmer is shooting Kaz, but it turns out to be Don*

A little bit of history repeating?

To Far Away Times · May 30, 2013

And none of those games will play in 10 years.

Yeah. I thought we as in gamers would kill them. For some reason.

Kevtones · May 30, 2013

good thing Sony has insurance

DBT85 · May 30, 2013

Get two jerbs, you'll want it that much.

Even thinking about this seriously for a second. What could MS possibly pull out to make him even think about saying something like that? It would literally take them getting COD, Fifa and GTA6 levels of exclusivity to even attempt to kill Sony in the home console arena.

We know the XBONE is low on power compared to the PS4, so they shouldn't be able to beat it graphically, we know Sony had tried and tested first party studios that churn out great rated if not great selling games. I just don't get it.

giancarlo123x · May 30, 2013

This arrogance is on a whole nother level. 3rd console curse.

otapnam · May 30, 2013

If I remember correctly from a chart posted this week, Spain has the highest sony allegiance this past generation. Looks like M$ is trying to talk before they walk

Dusk Golem · May 30, 2013

Going into the topic, I thought I was going to walk in on some outlandish and elaborate A-Team-style scheme from GAF to murder Sony.

Gorillaz · May 30, 2013

Jesus Christ MS's Moneyhatting isn't that powerful...is it?

I feel they have Respawn's new IP and possibly some Fallout 4 side quest along with the whole Mirrors edge 2 thing.

Stiflers Mom · May 30, 2013

"Let him dream..."

Noisepurge · May 30, 2013

Stoffinator · May 30, 2013

I wonder how many here will forget about the DRM and used game business if Microsoft really do show the goods at E3?

Don't worry, Microsoft's enthusiasm for fan pleasing moves tends to peter out after a couple of years...

HawthorneKitty · May 30, 2013

What if they mean it literally and this is why Nintendo is not at e3.

I'm joshing
