M$ paid a lot of marketing money to get this youtubing for Xbone sales done, I wonder how effective Machinima's lying actually was though.
I know some people are foolish but I also know a lot of kids watch videos are easily influenced and just ask parents for things for Holidays/birthdays/Xmas.
""And in case you're wondering: while the FTC has determined that Microsoft and its ad agency were partly responsible, it believes these promos were "isolated incidents" that didn't reflect those two companies' policies.""
@Shewgenja: Some Neogaf mods are apparently on the take from Sony. While there's no hard proof readily available, people who have been there long enough know. I've personally seen screenshots of a mod admitting as much via pm to another user.
To be fair though, Sony isn't the only one. Valve was said to be paying a few members there for awhile, although I'm not sure if that's still going on or not.
The whole Cboat thing really shed Neogaf in a poor light for a lot of people.
Microsoft is a joke. Albert Penello and Major Nelson spreading bullshit , the annoying astroturfers , and the youtube crap. Yuck. I'm starting to wonder about listwaar.com now. What happened to it ? Was a big fat check sent their way ? Perhaps that was good guy Phil's greatest accomplishment. I need more tinfoil.

Ahh, that's really crazy. Sounded like conspiracy theory nonsense. Guess I'll look more into that.
M$ are a bunch of sleazebags....but lets not act like SONY doesn't do this shit either, just look at NeoGaf.
A case proven vs false allegations yeah that make sense fakeboy...
oh the Irony, how many times have you accused MS of paying someone off with absolutely no proof to back up those claims?
it was shit thing MS did, Granted, and it's good they where caught out but don't have double standards about it dude, God is just doing what you have done a million times before.
You Have to apply the same standards to yourself that you apply to others mate
Hahahahaha lemmings with the Sony conspiracy theories.
Reality check: the whole Internet thinks the Xbone is a joke. Not just Neogaf.
Again with the Irony.
Tell me, Exactly how many times have you Cows accused MS of paying someone off without a shred of evidence?
'Reality check: the whole Internet thinks the Xbone is a joke. Not just Neogaf.'
REALITY CHECK: the vast Majority of the internet has little to do with games or consoles and most of the worlds population could not care less about gaming.
It's good MS where caught out like this but don't be a fool and try to Claim Lemmings are the only ones with Lame conspiracy theories mate.
Everytime Halo got high scores =MS paid someone off according to Cows.

Then kindly allow me to rephrase it: the part of the Internet that cares about videogames thinks the Xbone is a joke. :3

I personally think both consoles are a joke compared to previous generations, at this point, even with the Slow start the Ps3 had, both consoles last gen had far more quality exclusives.
I just cannot rationalize buying a console this gen, the cost vs Benefit Ratio just doesn't add up.
theres only 4 games i want on either console and they are all multiplats, Fallout 4,battlefront, witcher 3 and WH40k deathwing.

I have to admit, these days consoles are not what they once were. Most games get released along side the PC versions where as in the past that didn't used to be the case and even if it did the PC version usually had issues with optimisation. The only game I want that is not on PC so far this gen is Bloodborne.
