I like this guy because he makes me laugh.

 

[graywolf323]

just shut up Microsoft, please for the love of all things sane just shut up

 

[ironcreed]

He sounds like a used cars salesman now. How sad.

Need a Mattrick version of this.

 

[Xater]

Its like every 24 hours MS have to check-in online and authenticate their arrogance

Haha genius.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

At this point, every day the guys at Sony wake up and see a new Mattrick quote, it must feel like Christmas morning on a "Groundhog Day" time loop.

 

[krypt0nian]

even as someone who is buying the xbox 1 he really really really really needs to shut up

Shhh now. He's trying to talk you out of it.

 

[Empty]

Its like every 24 hours MS have to check-in online and authenticate their arrogance

brilliant

 

[tuffy]

The gaming audience this thing has to sell to doesn't see Kinect and TiVo functionality as having the same value that Microsoft does, so these statements about what a great deal it is can't help but sound ridiculous.

 

[Shinta]

where is this from? I'd love to know

People were asking Major Nelson why Xbone was worth getting or something, and he was like "have you SEEN Titanfall? End of conversation," ... basically.

(Even though it's coming out on PC and Respawn all but confirmed it's eventually coming for PS4)

 

[Risette]

The value of a games console is surely subjective and more related to the actual games than specifications.

the value of everything is subjective with this line of thought

 

[famousmortimer]

where is this from? I'd love to know

Angry Joe's interview with Major Nelson.



It also features other sure-to-be-memes like "This system is designed for the future. DO YOU WANT TO COME TO THE FUTURE?"

 

[chickdigger802]

I think I missed this, but where did this Titan fall meme come from?

 

[GeeDuhb]

I swear, every time this guy opens his mouth lately, this comes to mind

He becomes more of a clown every day

Edit: beat 2 pages ago...these threads just fly way too fast!

 

[RurouniZel]

Sorry Don, I'm not getting a 2nd job for your overpriced, draconian shit-box. The only value I would find in it is as a new litter box for my cats.

 

[Z3M0G]

I expect great things from this thread. I hope people are working on the suggested gifs.

 

[enzo_gt]

This really has crossed over into delusion beyond Nintendo's wildest dreams. I know they're obviously trying to save face but now they're making 4D-esque comments.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Also, who is buying a console for Skype?

 

[Can Crusher]

At least Sony put in a Blu Ray drive and a weirdly powerful CPU that gave the PS3 the power edge.

These guys are just upping the ante by not even giving you more power on the box, or any sort of tech that will allow for better looking games than the competition.

 

[Waylon Drums]

I'd be scared if I were y'all. It seems like they're going the "keep repeating bullshite and people will eventually believe it" route. I'd like to think that doesn't work, but then I remember that some people *do* vote republican so it obviously works on some people.

 

[Aquamarine]

They need to rapidly readjust their PR policy - this is ridiculous.

Mattrick is the head of the Xbox division---you would think the guy who created the 24-hour online requirement would be a little less obnoxiously arrogant / horrible at PR, given his position.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

XB1 is the Too Human of consoles.

 

[Hattori]

Sorry Don, I'm not getting a 2nd job for your overpriced, draconian shit-box. The only value I would find in it is as a new litter box for my cats.

so you haven't seen Titanfall...

 

[flyingmonkeywhoa]

Thousands of dollars of value?? (weak specs, etc.)...I don't even...

 

[threetri333]

Xbox was a powerful machine when it came out, why is M$ sh***ing on their Xbox Ones?

 

[kmax]

The bubble Microsoft is living in isn't bursting anytime soon, eh?

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

lmao, it doesn't stop.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Fortunately there's a console for people that don't want thousands of dollars of value.

 

[Haunted]

Taking a page from the Sony playbook, ca. 2006.

 

[Dragon]

The value of a games console is surely subjective and more related to the actual games than specifications.

Keep fighting the good fight. There's no way even factoring in 'games' that they're overdelivering on value here. Mattrick mattricking.

 

[Cidd]

They still haven't even told us the Specs of the system...

 

[NullPointer]

He is so smug at times. It would also help if he detailed out the 'thousands of dollars' worth of value that their machine is delivering.

He's conveniently skipping the part where you have to pay thousands of dollars first.

 

[Walshicus]

even as someone who is buying the xbox 1 he really really really really needs to shut up

To be fair, he gave this interview on 10/06. Someone should make a timeline.

 

[Manmademan]

I'm sure Sony said that about the PS3, but at least it was the cheapest Blu-ray player at the time.

and they'll learn what Sony learned. you can't compare pricing to "other consumer products" you have to compare pricing to other game machines.

just as other blu ray players being a grand didn't make a 599 ps3 a good deal, the iPad being $500 doesn't make the xbox one a great buy at that price.

 

[Pie and Beans]

This fucking company. Just crash already to get all these fucking jokers out of the positions they squat on.

 

[Zukuu]

It almost stopped being funny and just being sad. Almost. At this point Sony doesn't even needs to try anymore...

 

[krypt0nian]

They still haven't even told us the Specs of the system...

The rush of joy would kill us.

[Art Teitlebaum]

I like where this is going. It's at least entertaining.

But at the end there will be blood, I'm afraid. Mattrick might be one of the victims.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[Step]

at this rate they'll hit the earths core before launch

Man, at this rate they'll get to China, too bad it is not a XBox One supported country.

 

[shinobi602]

Perfect.

 

[TheJLC]

Man, this arrogance is what is ruining their image more and more.

 

[bidguy]

mattrick should just stfu
hes doing more damage than ever

 

[SamuraiX-]

Yes! ahahaha here we go

 

[AppleSmack]

Competitor Sony will offer its PlayStation 4 at $400 this holiday season, but Mattrick believes consumers will choose Xbox One for its suite of exclusive services and applications like an improved Xbox Live, as well as Skype, Twitch TV, SmartGlass, and Kinect.

LOL good luck with that.

 

[fart town usa]

This train ain't stopping for shit, lol.

I'm loving how this gen is shaping up, so entertaining and it's only been a few weeks.

 

[qizah]

This is becoming painful to watch.

smh.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Getting some serious 2006 sony deja vu even on the PR front now..smh. Didn't they tell this guy last week when he made that mess?

 

[YouEnjoyMySelf]

Mattrick looks like a mole or some ground dwelling creature.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Mattrick believes consumers will choose Xbox One for its suite of exclusive services and applications like an improved Xbox Live, as well as Skype, Twitch TV, SmartGlass, and Kinect.

Maybe for Live (probably not), Nope to Skpe, Nope to Twitch, Nope to Smartglass, Nope to Kinect

Its pretty painful to watch at this point.
