Support NeoGAF

[amstradcpc]

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".

[Garraboa]

dat arrogance.

 

[jwk94]

Well that's upfront.

 

[Yoshichan]

Next-gen begins now

 

[Syph Medwes]

9 new Kinect games confirmed

 

[Tempy]

That's one way to win.

 

[Takuya]

Did he really use the word kill? lol

 

[SolidsnackooFoxhound]

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

 

[kittens]

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]

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]

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

 

[Mung]

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

 

[antonz]

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]

Thread title should reflect that Microsoft is saying this.

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

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

 

[Danny-Boy]

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

 

[BlazingDarkness]

:lol

Should be a fun E3.

 

[B.O.O.M]

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

 

[Lumpy Onion]

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

 

[alstein]

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.

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

 

[Pistolero]

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]

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

 

[VOOK]

Wow, wanker.

 

[Artorias]

Alert the authorities.

Also, salty.

 

[Log4Girlz]

But they'll be slain at retail.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

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

 

[SMT]

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.

[BlazingDarkness]

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

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]

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

 

[SpinningBirdKick]

XBone gives you Cancer, confirmed.

 

[Synless]

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

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]

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

 

[Metalmurphy]

That probably means they have some crazy exclusive.

 

[Exentryk]

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

 

[BorkBork]

It is Microsoft. And I will kill them.

A little bit of history repeating?

 

[To Far Away Times]

And none of those games will play in 10 years.

 

[sakipon]

Thread title should reflect that Microsoft is saying this.

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

 

[Kevtones]

good thing Sony has insurance

 

[DBT85]

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]

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

 

[otapnam]

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]

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]

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]

"Let him dream..."

 

[Noisepurge]

 

[Stoffinator]

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

 

[gofreak]

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.

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

 

[HawthorneKitty]

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

Spoiler

I'm joshing
