So, the Director of Programming for Xbox Live has to come out and correct the official Xbox twitter account that represents the entire company, that somehow for got that the event was only 1 hour long? So the company's official voice didn't know the length of the event, but the Director of Programming for Xbox live did?


The Xbox twitter guy was drunk yesterday

I saw a tweet saying the reveal starts in 2 hours... And that was yesterday
 
Actually, no, he isn't.

Well one represents a guy. The other represents an entire company.

You must be forgetting the PS3 European launch in which MS hired a boat to cruise down a river, crashing the launch party.

And the time where Microsoft sent CVG £146 worth of beer to highlight the price difference of the 360 and PS3 at the time.

Corporate mudslinging is all in good fun, being disrespectful and whatever people are preaching here is taking it way too personally.
 
Exactly.

Imagine if they'd only showed the box, the controller and the UI - and that was it..

"BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GAMES MAN?! The games, it's all about the games!! Who cares about a stupid box!?!"

I bet if Microsoft does that (shows only the box etc) this thread will defend the shit out of Microsoft and go "yeah, but you gotta wait for E3 for the real bombs to drop! be patient ffs!"

This comment is completely false in every way I could try to define it.

For one the external looks can definitely be important when it comes to identifying their heating solutions and available ports. There are most definitely going to be games at the Xbox reveal including Forza, Fifa and COD.

Everyone is waiting for E3 for the rest of the games on both the Xbox and Playstation side.
 
No, console war shite is just cringeworthy and boring, just buy both consoles then there is no need for it.

Different strokes I guess. I love the cringe. I'm a both console guy too, but I can enjoy watching other people clash over nothing, this is neogaf.

That did happen, yes

I would say most Xbox Fans aren't even MS fans. You have no sense of reality. lol.
 
No you're right Monk, every region Microsoft has locked down with Xbox 360 they've been able to hold onto so far(US & UK) and they've never held onto Europe or Japan.

I saw this gen some effort from MS to catch more UK consumers and it did them well, I wonder if they will work harder on the rest of Europe too.

I know some things are country exclusive or it's hard to "move" them to another countries like Apps or services but there are things like Indie Games on the Xbox Marketplace that are not even a reality in some countries. And those are the things I hope they can push further.

I hope this makes a bit of sense, my english is a bit rusty today, sorry for that fellow GAFfer.

As a big racing game guy I really hope they do bring all their effort to catch Japan and just bring it over to Europe this time around.
 
The wait is killing me, already sony fanboys have started the invasion fearful of a repeat of the start of last gen, and the probability of crow eating by people who believe the 1.2tf specs or the ones with wildly powerful crazy ones, while the neutrals waiting to throw our money at Microsoft to give us the new xbox will drink on salty tears
 
You know what bugs me the most from all of the console fanboys from both sides?

The use of the word salt as a universal insult to everything. Embarrassing.

Having 50 page threads because one consoles version of a game has 1 extra line of pixels or a thread because one console pushes 1 tillion polygons while the other console pushes 1 trillion and 1 polygons is pretty boring to me and a complete waste of time next gen as graphics in games next gen will look amazing no matter which console you own.

Or it was a typo. This can happen from accidentally hitting a key next to the desired key. Sometimes when this happens another person may correct the original content creator as to their error.

Or it's a huge conspiracy and Larry is running MS from a secret underground lair.
 
You're forgetting the fact that they original scheduled it for April, but had to delay it a month because they couldn't make it in time.

Actually we have no evidence to back this up other than a single persons words, even if it is true it would be foolish to throw any reason we want on it as we have no idea why it was delayed if it really was.

BTW the day they said it was supposed to happen was the day they revealed the reveal so it was most likely a misunderstanding.

Me too fellow GAFfer! My 360 was my FORZA machine, got the Limited/Collector's Editions day one, great Community, FORZA-Gaf have amazing community too, great Painting and liveries (Hertz Donut is awesome at doing them) and even Community from T10 often drops in here with some news, that's why I love those games. Hoping for some PGR goodness too.

MS are better at this, but SEGA were the masters.
