Support NeoGAF

Well in normal human words he only says they offer great value.

 

[BolognaSoup]

This is the same company that thinks the world loves Windows 8 and doesn't realize they were 4 years late to the smart phone game.

 

[antitrop]

Well yea, have you SEEN Titanfall??

Can't wait to see it on my PC, yeah.

Phil Harrison at e3 2006 for Sony:

Frankly, I'm amazed that we can [sell the PS3] so cheaply.

"What we have in addition to a great game system is a Blue Ray player, a network platform, a new controller, and HDD in every system combined in an unbelievably compelling package. And frankly I'm amazed that we can do it so cheaply.".

 

[kpjolee]

Gee, thanks Microsoft.

 

[Dragon1893]

Take the shovel away from them. The hole is deep enough.

Pretty much this. Ah what the hell, let'em dig that hole.

 

[Flatline]

I fucking love this guy, every time he opens his mouth another awesome thread is created here.

 

[Sojgat]

ROFL

This has become a farce.

 

[Raistlin]

Again, it's exactly the same as the statements from Sony exec's in the 2005-2007 period regarding Blu-ray and "the power of the Cell" etc....

Except the BluRay argument actually was valid at that time.

What does MS have here?

 

[Raoh]

Overdeliv.....gosh..i can't even finish the sentence without laughing.

 

[TabletopTictacs]

If he keeps digging that hole, he might actually get the Xbone to Japan after all.

As long as he does it within 24 hours.

 

[Nokterian]

 

[CambriaRising]

This guy cracks me up.

 

[Admiral Bone to Pick]

Let the titanfall...
when it crumbles...
we will stand talllllllll
and face it all together!

 

[famousmortimer]

Again, it's exactly the same as the statements from Sony exec's in the 2005-2007 period regarding Blu-ray and "the power of the Cell" etc...

I really hope they snap out of it soon, but unlike Sony, MS have never proved themselves as a corporation that listens to the consumer.

It is. And you would think that there would be atleast one dude at MS that's like "hey, guys, the shit we are doing is exactly what we exploited with Sony last gen."

But I guess not...?

 

[Various Artists]

Keep digging MS. Cant believe how many times they seem to be messing up. 360 was my go to console since 06.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Microsoft are too generous if anything.

They are practically buying most of the system for you, what an ungrateful lot the interwebs is.

 

[Yellowflashdude]

Wasn't there a reddit post that said the xbox execs are trying to get Don to stop talking because he is making the xbone sound worse? LMAO!

 

[SamuraiX-]

Haha it's PS3 all over again, but the roles are reversed and there's DRM.

2006 Sony with the PS3 doesn't even hold a candle to the bull shit that's been spewing out of M$ over the past couple of months.

 

[Flatline]

Except the BluRay argument actually was valid at that time.

What does MS have here?

You mean you don't believe in the unlimited power of the cloud?

 

[GeeDuhb]

Xbox, shut up.

LMFAO...and another GAF first reply gold! You guys really need to stop...you are making it very hard to read GAF at work when I keep giggling to myself in the corner and people look at me wondering what I am laughing at!

 

[inky]

"We're over-delivering value against other choices I think consumers can get. Any modern product these days you look at it [and] $499 isn't a ridiculous price point. We're delivering thousands of dollars of value to people, so I think they're going to love it when they use it."

Oh, so that is why it costs $660 where I live, makes sense. Who am I kidding, Don, you don't care where that is.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Except the BluRay argument actually was valid at that time.

What does MS have here?

The cloud. Too bad for them most people see it for the bullshit it is.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

this gets me everytime

 

[LilZippa]

Welcome to the circus of values

 

[liquidtmd]

I'm starting to think there's a Producers type scam going on behind the scene here.

Someone's going to bank when this system fails

Springtime for Mattrick in Germany

(And 20 other select countries)

 

[grosvenor_92]

And the train wreck continues

 

[Seik]

Whoa.

Welp, they're quite stubborn, I can give them that.

 

[Iacobellis]

Who was at EA when all they did was make the same sports games each year?

Don Mattrick.

Who was at Microsoft when Xbox 360 was the best console of the three and offered unprecedented support for games?

Peter Moore.

Am I the only one seeing this?

 

[air jordans for dogs]

Microsoft keeps digging themselves deeper, meanwhile Sony wins the consumers hearts. What a weirdass situation.

 

[Woorloog]

Wasn't there a reddit post that said the xbox execs are trying to get Don to stop talking because he is making the xbone sound worse? LMAO!

Yes... Someone had interviewed Major Nelson.
Odd that nothing has been done yet... Ah, well, more laughs from me.

 

[Risette]

Phil Harrison at e3 2006 for Sony:

To be fair,

The PS3 offered too much value. And Sony paid the price.

 

[GameSeeker]

A big part of the Xbone value proposition is live TV + gaming.

At E3 Microsoft focused on games and I'm sure they will be some showing off some more exclusives at Gamescom and TGS, but they will likely also reveal more around their TV focus. I'm sure Microsoft will advertise heavily around it's TV capabilities (remember the $400M NFL deal and Spielberg Halo TV series). I'm sure there are more TV deals to come (recall rumors of MS executives meeting with Hollywood executives at E3).

 

[itsgreen]

Again: he is just saying, albeit not awesomely worded, that they offer great value...

Which you can discuss... but isn't that strange to say if you sell something...

 

[Revoh]

 

[D4Danger]

Wasn't there a reddit post that said the xbox execs are trying to get Don to stop talking because he is making the xbone sound worse? LMAO!

Don't worry, he'll be at EA this time next year

 

[sakipon]

Phil Harrison at e3 2006 for Sony:

PS3 always was a nice value, though. It's just that gamers didn't want Blu-ray at that time. It was released too early in that sense.

 

[Kerub]

If he keeps digging that hole, he might actually get the Xbone to Japan after all.

Best comment today.

 

[nny]

"they're going to love it when they use it."

See, you may have a problem there.

 

[dugdug]

This insanity has brought together so many good quotes.

I honestly think "you'll want a second job" has been topped, now. Thanks, Don.

 

[stktt]

Don, please stop talking to the press.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Welcome to the circus of values

I said it in the clown voice

 

[zma1013]

 

[BigDug13]

It's like they're pretending that the PS4 doesn't exist.

 

[R3TRO]

499 is a bit much but I like the features so I preordered.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Phil Harrison at e3 2006 for Sony:

Well at least he's right about the Blu Ray player. Pity the launch games (and the first 2 years) was horrendous for the PS3.

Let's hope that Xbox One's games at least do well.

 

[Kazerei]

Can you put a price tag on a child's happiness when he gets an xbox one this holiday?

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

That's very 2006 Sonyish. I talked with a MS manager at E3 and he kept telling me the same things: they're really convinced (or very good pretending it) that they've got the best value. I'm sure, if things remain the same, early 2014 they'll scramble as crazy to change their policies and pricing. But they've got access to surveys and analysis too, so they could be induced to change their minds before then.

 

[Zukuu]

Right, 499$ is not enough for your crap box that is inferior to the 399$ competition... TAKE MY 2.000$! PLEASE, otherwise I feel like I cheated you!
