Absolutely. There will always be a brave warrior denouncing them for whatever they did or said even if they would announce world peace tomorrow.

I thought they weren’t competing with Playstation and Nintendo?
And I think they should just separate themselves completely from Playstation. Outside of the PS3 era and all the issues Sony had, Xbox hasn't been competitive with them.
Just the buzz online and commercially shows xbox isn't the same as playstation going into next gen.
Its not even a dig, its just what it is.
Like Nintendo, Playstation is in its own league.
And I think Xbox is in its own too, they need to focus on themselves and maybe compete with Google with streaming. And Have a good eco system with PC. Not be in the console war. Like Nintendo isn’t in there either.

The only ones hurt by that tweet are hardcore Sony fanboys because it's the cold hard truth.

Yeah, because anyone who thinks Greenberg is a habitual dumbass is a Sony fanboy. Duh.
All three of the Xbox mouthpieces are pretty shitty, Greenberg is just dumb to boot. You have a dude who calls himself "Major," after the show "I Dream of Jeannie," then the aforementioned Greenberg. And of course, Phil, the dude who has been promising the world for 5 years and has a perpetual smirk that looks like he's just finished banging the neighbor's wife.

I don't have a dog in this race and ill most probably get a PS5 , but whats hilarious for years Sony fans have been having dig after dig at Microsoft and then Microsoft give a little back and all the Sony fans get triggered lmfao
all i have heard is the last couple of years is exclusive Microsoft games look all cartooney and thats not cool then Sony show 5 or 6 games that have the same cartooney look about them and now that style is fine.
hypocrite's are going to hypocrite i suppose

Well if his objective is mainly to piss people off instead of selling more consoles don't you think that's wrong for the head of marketing?
I think we should see how the system sells first before coming to the conclusion that the marketing has been successful. Which the point of marketing is to sell consoles and not to piss off console warriors.

Lol. You want someone in marketing to actually help sell your products, not antagonize potential customers. But hey, some Xfans are satisfied with just digs at the competition.Well if his objective is mainly to piss people off instead of selling more consoles don't you think that's wrong for the head of marketing?

I mean selling products is the point of marketing.
Maybe Greenburg thinks he's accomplishing his objectives by behaving this way but I don't really agree with it.
We will see what the sales are before determining if their marketing is working or not.

Bro you sound angry, it's not Xbox's fault Sony delivered a terrible show and that Cerny was talking out his ass about SSD SSD SSD after all.
Also Not their fault Jim Ryan promised the "biggest generational leap ever" and the games they showed looked like they were running on PS4.
Be angry with those guys. Xbox PR guys have nothing to do with it.

If the series X blows up like I think it will, Greenburg would have had absolutely zero to do with it. Right now the guy is literally a paid social media troll. We already have the data on what he brings to Xbox with regards to sales.... nothing. The real question in my opinion is, how many sales have he costed Microsoft with his silly antics. Seems like the Green Suits are okay with him I suppose.

Can't see why people are saying this is desperate, begging for attention etc. If he was so insecure about the Xbox, he wouldn't have embraced the Xbox fridge joke, among other things.
To me it looks like Xbox is more confident than ever. If you compare it to how they were with the Xbox One, particularly after the backlash, things are quite clear. But gamers are a crowd with short memories. It's how they justify these illogical conclusions to fit their own bias.

Didn't Sony steal Xbox thunder by announcing the controller right before Microsoft's showing? Why did they do that when they could've just revealed the console and the controller just like they did right now? Was Sony a douchebag for doing that? are we seeing a double standard here?

I don't why people are so mad here. His tweet for me was clear and removed co fusion I had about which games were exclusive to ps5. Even reddit threads I R/games were marking games as ps5 only wrongly.
People here are not used to Xbox people commenting on these matters. Did they forget when Sony official account used to shit on Xbox directly?

I think the reminder that you can play those games on a more powerful machine is what is getting them angry

Sounds like it will launch on PS5 first then the PC...so console exclusive for a limited time.

You're not seeing the difference. Sony showed their controller. Something uniquely theirs. Xbox did the equivalent of #ustoo.
Sony may have stolen some of ms thunder but I'd argue at least it was with something of substance.
Your argument would make sense if after Microsoft's presentation sony tweeted out "our console will have a controller too!"
Yea no shit?

Microsoft is usually pretty good at giving us at least some information as to what is what though. Even the small print about representation of the visuals fidelity gives us an idea of what the devs are aiming for. There was none of that with Sony. It wouldve been helpful.

Every time this guy tweets it seems like the same people get stirred by it. Let him live, bruhs. He's a marketing guy.

of course it will look and play better. it's the more powerful console. it has a slower SSD sure but that doesn't affect anything like resolution/framerate or anything except loading times.

let’s be honest, none of the people who are pissed about the tweet were ever thinking about switching. Their hate for an invisible enemy is ingrained into their souls.Well if his objective is mainly to piss people off instead of selling more consoles don't you think that's wrong for the head of marketing?

I’m a gaming fan, maybe his goal was to piss off Sonyboys and remind them their console of choice is weaker this gen.
seems to have worked didnt it?
Maybe one day people will realize you don’t have to choose sides when it comes to technology and games... you can *GASP* like BOTH COMPANIES.
but nah. Folk need their console to “win“ to fulfill some self imagined war
that will in turn, make them feel like “winners” because they “chose the winning console”

Yes.
the side of not getting offended that a multi million dollar company is taking marketing shots at another multi million dollar company.

It's funny, I see your point, but none of these are system sellers to me.
Demon Souls is a remake. GT used to be the king, but Forza is better nowadays. R&C is a children's game. Zero hype for Spiderman since the last game was fun for 30 minutes and got old. HZ was an enormous waste of potential.
I'm waiting for Days Gone 2, new Kojima IP, Aquatic Dreams new IP, Team Ico new IP, and TLOU3: It's Ma'am.

The fact that so many of you are upset shows he's doing a good job
His job is to annoy gamers, your future potential customers, instead of drawing them into the strengths of the brand?
Please don’t get into marketing.

Or, people are just giving their opinions on him like any other topic. Kinda like your doing right now. But its easier to pretend everyone is so angry I guess. Anymore projections?

You know this presentation hit all right notes when you have an avalanche of people, including execs, going through the list of games shown in the presentation and digging to see if the games come to their platform of choice too.
They want the games, the games looked good and they are interested. Don't buy any of the BS saying otherwise. They want it, they need it.

That's what I don't understand with the Xguys. They could care less about how's he representing the brand, long as he keeps the sonybois mad. It doesn't take a genius to understand why their fanbase is loaded with toxic individuals spewing the hottest of takes constantly. Some of their well known mouthpieces runs counter to what Phil is typically trying to portray.

No one likes the guy but time to time he is correct like this time. Sony tried to play off ever game off as an exclusive. He rightfully corrected that mistake with a jab for having to do it. If Sony would be as clear as Microsoft then you could be up in arms about this. Its easy to fool casuals who still think unreal 5 is a PS5 exclusive.

So I'm guessing in Microsoft's upcoming event, they are going to mention the competition when bringing up their 3rd party deals. In fact we usually dont get clarification on these deals until later.

You need to get people to talk about the product to buy it right? just the fact that you are talking about it and aware of the product is good for him.
What do you think is better for him? him making a tweet and no one acknowledges it or him tweeting and people discussing it. It's just business broskie.

Yeah, no kidding. The question is: Is it good business? Is he contributing to making Xbox a better brand? What message is he portraying to bring in consumers new to Xbox? Just thinking out loud. I certainly think they could do better.
