[Unison]

Can he deny used-games DRM now?

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Good to hear.

 

[Kud Dukan]

Intresing. Instead of no answere he goes out of his way to deny a forum rumor?

"Goes out of his way" by posting a quick, five second tweet?

 

[BigTnaples]

Pretty solid denial.

Phew?

 

[nbthedude]

Can he deny used-games DRM now?

His he taking request?

Oh, Oh! Do Global Warming! Then Evolution! Then the Holocaust!

 

[xxracerxx]

Can he deny used-games DRM now?

Policy is still under review...blah blah blah

 

[darkwing]

Xbone saved

Cboat lol?

 

[Painraze]

[Avtomat]

Everyone is just running round in circles with rumours and counter rumours.

Settle down and wait till E3, quite clear no one outside MS knows what's going on.

 

[Guevara]

On the one hand: "what do you expect him to say"?

on the other: weird that he answers at all.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

I hope come release it is in fact a 1.2tf machine.

 

[Najaf]

Who do you trust more? MajorNelson or CBoat?

Edit: Given that Major was aware of the topic in question, I feel bad for him. He is stuck somewhere reading NeoGAF and likely is loosing hair by the minute. I'm glad I don't have that job.

 

[Phinal Phantasy]

Good to hear.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

I'll take his word for it because if it was true then he could have just ignored the tweet but he chose to respond.

 

[ascii42]

"Goes out of his way" by posting a quick, five second tweet?

The normal response to this sort of thing is something along the lines "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation" So it is interesting, yes.

 

[Y2Kev]

Regardless of who you trust, what was he supposed to say? "Yes, we are having chip yield issues?" Why would he even know the answer to that? Guess he could deny commenting outright.

edit: I believe CBoaT is probably closer to MS' hardware team than Major Nelson, lol.

 

[cyberheater]

What about the down clock?

 

[GoofsterStud]

So down clocking saved it!

I kid. Who is going to admit there is a problem right before E3. Seriously?

 

[Kyoufu]

I trust buttocks more tbh.

 

[badcrumble]

Crazy Buttocks on a Train reappeared after that Major Nelson tweet and doubled down on the ESRAM problems being real.

 

[DoomGyver]

Maybe that was the only answer he could round up.

 

[Alucrid]

Who do you trust more? MajorNelson or CBoat?

I put my cheeks in cboats hands...tracks..

 

[iNvid02]

i dont think anyone would admit to having manufacturing issues

I BELIEVE THE ASS

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Major Nelson versus CBoaT. Fight!

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Well he's not going to admit it is he.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Of course he denies it.

 

[famousmortimer]

CBoaT is trustworthy. But honestly I would trust any random neogaffer to be more accurate than Major Nelson or someone from the PS Blog. PR people aren't worthy sources of anything.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Pffffftt ....... the M$ mouth piece denies performance issues? What? Do you expect him to seriously be honest about this? PUH-LEEZ!!!

 

[Psi]

I wouldn't trust any PR coming out of Microsoft right now personally.

 

[JWong]

Why bother asking? True or not, MS will say there's nothing wrong.

 

[darkwing]

well downclocking makes sense, more yields so no more manufacturing issues right?

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

I'll say it again: Larry stonewalls hundreds of tweets about rumors every day and has for years, he simply doesn't comment. That he replied in this case, with a specific and very resounding no, stands as evidence to me that he's not lying.

Y'know, or he could just not respond.

 

[Izick]

Good to hear. He seems pretty clear and to the point about it as well.

 

[falconzss]

Are you expecting him to come out and admit it to complete this beautiful trainwreck?

 

[Dead Prince]

he should be focusing on the questions he's been gathering.

 

[casmith07]

So that would mean that the downclock is confirmed?

Ahh...I see I was beat a bit.

 

[Ra1den]

i dont think anyone would admit to having manufacturing issues

This. How can anybody be taking this at face value?

 

[Phinal Phantasy]

Maybe that was the only answer he could round up.

Yes, we all know it is impossible to ignore and/or block someone on twitter.com.

 

[Alienous]

If it was false, wouldn't it be the type of thing Microsoft would ignore? I don't see why they would deny it if they know it isn't the case.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Major Nelson VS Crazy Buttocks - FIGHT!

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Who do you trust more? MajorNelson or CBoat?

Cboat of course.

 

[Lambda Pie]

I trust buttocks more tbh.

that makes 2 of us.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

How the hell would he know, honestly? He's a PR mouthpiece, not an engineer.

 

[Jarmel]

Well he could have just not answered so I don't know. That also is a very firm answer too.

 

[IsntChrisL]

The fact that they can reply so bluntly to questions like this but dodge almost every single other topic is not a good sign.

 

[Pungza]

Of course he's going to deny, he can hardly admit to manufacturing/yield issues

 

[keit4]

I'll say it again: Larry stonewalls hundreds of tweets about rumors every day and has for years, he simply doesn't comment. That he replied in this case, with a specific and very resounding no, stands as evidence to me that he's not lying.

Y'know, or he could just not respond.

[JerryThePredator]

Shortly thereafter, Major Nelson cancels any other tweets he was planning to make.
