Microsoft has $1 billion to invest in X1 exclusives

I have to say, I'd rather have 1000 1 million dollar games than 10 100 million dollar games. 

Make a big game on a small budget, punch above your weight.

[QUOTE="ninjapirate2000"] Lol what rage? I simply called you out on your cowness. And you decided to write a thesis paper haha. Now you're filling my thread with rage and defending yourself lololol. It's okay though I accept you for who you are. :)ninjapirate2000

By using ad hominem, you disgraced yourself and recognized my post as valid. ;) You had no other alternative other than to refute the poster instead of the post. :lol:

Your anger is why I'm here, lol, your anger to my post. You quoted me. You couldn't stand my magic words involving Steven Spielberg. :lol:

hahaha.

:lol:

The majority of the "essay" was about Marketing and PR, dimwit, not you. :lol:

You got personal because of my tiny two sentences involving Steven Spielberg and TV :idea:, I refuted your ad hominems and then spoke about marketing morons taking advantage of all of us and took you for an intellectual user.

That was my mistake, giving you unearned credit. :cry: I won't make that mistake again, imbicile. :lol:

:lol: ADHD and short attention span problems with my "essay" on a forum for words. :roll: :lol:

SolidTy isn't wrong with his statements about MS here....

but he is a cow hiding under a manticore suit. The fact that he is always skeptical of everything xbox and ms related (but not of anybody else) is enough for me to see it.

He digs on MS about their lack of non-timed exclusives constantly, and yet when some good news comes forth it's amost as if he wants MS to be bluffing.

It may be the case that a ton of the money is going to just the mediocre deals, real gamers don't hope for that though.

No joke, there is magic in the air tonight. :idea: :D

LOL selective reading lemming. ;)

I was waiting for you deangallop, my lemming collection is almost complete.:lol:

I gotta catch 'em all. :cool:

Haha lemming? I'm the manticore you pretend to be kiddo. I look at things objectivly and hold all consoles to the same standard. Most of all I WANT all consoles to be amazing, that is something we don't share. You discussing the price of the Xboxone doesnt prove anything, and I know you will probably end up owning one that alone doesn't make you objective in your posting. deangallop

Lemming pretendo, kiddie, Longtime lemming too. :lol:

You don't even buy the machines at launch, lol. You clearly spent a portion of your posts loving Xbox this generation. There is nothing wrong with you disliking Sheeps, Hermits, and Cows, but lol at you thinking you are a manticore. lol.

You assume way too much, I've said numerous times I want Xb one to be amazing, and I'm sure it will be, my problems are the POLICIES not the machine, lololo lembot. OMG, check out how much you play your machines...lemming, gimme a break with that Steam to XBLA to PSN comparison.

I also have two Wii U's to go along with my two 360s, I don't even remember you buying a single Wii U, lol. Do you own a Vita and 3DS even? No Wii U? That's not really a manticore...My issue with the Suits running the show are about the suits, and not the machines I support. In fact, what's so wrong with these posts as they sum up my stance. First years great, last years not so great.

As far as the price of Xb one, I can dig up tons of those links where I comment on the hardware and I'm positive. The issue you'll find is I have problems with the direction of the suits and the anti consumer policies. Way to fail again after so many years of hiding, deangallop. ;) :P

Get it through your think skull:

Xbox One machine = Great.

Xbox One policies currently = Poor.

I'm doing what anyone would do, speaking up on the matter in hopes of change before E3 and launch.

If Sony at E3 go DRM, you'll be seeing a lot of animosity from me on that issue as well. If Nintendo went DRM, same thing.

I am pro consumer. You should be as well. This isn't about factions, it's about the future of our hobby.

Sorry I only buy the systems when they have the games to justify the purchase, I apologize for not being an idiot with my money. Feel free to keep spurting out nonsensical insults, gifs and pics to cover your lack of an argument. Owning all consoles doesn't mean squat, you still want MS to fail. You should take of the mask and admit it... The truth will set you free.

No, I wouldn't support a machine buying five 360s this generation if I wanted fail.

I owned 4 Xboxs, and still have two of those bad boys still running (Halo C.E.s).

I don't buy things and spend thousands of dollars at launch for I want to fail. :lol: Absurd. Lol.

You want me to admit lies so you feel better about being wrong about me back since your lemming days. Unlike the pretenders around here, I played Xbox 360 and gained over 100,000 Gamerscore. That's unique to me in System Wars. All those other pretenders including you, can't make that claim. Cows, Hermits, and Sheep can't make that claim. I can. Some hardcore lems can make that claim, but they can't boast their Steam or PSN score as proof of their playing on those platforms ENOUGH. I can. Almost always, we see a huge preference with comparisons. I am an anomaly you want to pigeon-hole. My very existence bothers you, and I can see why. The truth will set you free, lemming.

Buying multiple 360s, peripherals, Live accounts, and games...That's a lot of playtime and spending a lot of money on something I want to fail. :roll: The best part is I CAN PROVE I played these games with my sig. I love games.

What you fail to realize is the creative visionaries have left the Xbox brand, and we are now dealing with greedy suits driving an amazing brand in the wrong anti consumer direction.

That won't stop me from playing Halo 5, but I will post my issues with bullshit from any company. I also bashed Activision in the past, what does that make me. I nailed Ubisoft for DRM in the past. I nailed EA for the same. Gosh, I detect a PRO CONSUMER Theme with my stance. :lol:

Guess what, if in two years they take yet ANOTHER anti consumer stance for Xbox One, I will mention something, and you will think what you want instead of reading the point of my words. There is a problem with the SUITS and have been for sometime. What they did to RAREware is disgraceful, it's not like they suddenly changed with the Xbox One reveal. No, this has been going on for sometime, as have my disapproving posts.

Try coming in a thread next time, holding off on the insults, and spend some time actually commenting on just the points made instead of the user posting them, you dolt.

You disagree with my views (or another user for that matter), feel free to debate that viewpoint. Your piss poor attitude and attempts to troll just relegate you into the lower strata alt bandodger troll posters, where you possibly belong. ;) :P

This is MS's plan imo.  They will buy up exclusive content not only on your gaming device but television as well.  People want speed and accessibility and everything at the click of a button.  MS will forcefeed stuff on people they dont want and people will still sell out and buy it because they have exclusivity.  It's a dirty game.  Any way you look at it it isn't good for anyone except MS.  I won't be buying the xbox regardless but I'm sure a lot of people will.

 It's the same with kinect imo.  Why it's separate.  They want to guage how many stupid people actually plug it in and leave it plugged in.  My opinion is any intelligent person who has done any research will not go near this thing.  It's hideous.  But there are a lot of stupid people out there and MS preys off these type of people.  People want convenience and speed.  They will sell their souls to get their jones if MS starts buying up exclusive content and has it at the push of a button.  Sad really.  People need to shut off the idiot box and go outside.

Not really.

Just because you post 40 lines of superfluous nonsense, edited 90 times and interspersed with thousands of smilies and gifs doesn't mean you win an argument. People call out this bloke on his BS and delusions of grandeur and he either takes it as a compliment for some reason or proceeds to "pwn"(lol) them, and totally ignores the fact that they may actually be right. How old is this dude? No Internet bsns is this srs.

inb4, I don't have the same video game forum cred(lol), I'm a lembot, I'm jelly, MAD, I don't own 47 PS3s and I don't play games 25 hours a day.

But he's right, everytime he enters a thread and starts displaying his usual signs, people seem to focus on attacking his character rather than the point at hand. Don't really know why that is to be honest. Probably because his gigantic bolded posts are about as inconspicuous as a jumbo jet.

Inspiring.:cool: Perhaps there is a lesson here about the argument and not the character...

As far as the jumbo jet bold bit, I like that joke. I'll cut you some slack and answer. for that crack. To be honest, you only have so many moves in forums, if they keep the fight clean and tackle the argument, these "signs" and "delusions" you speak of don't appear. It's the trolls that get trolled. It's the bystanders that don't understand what's going on, and then there is the sympathetic bystanders that just don't like what they see.

And chiefly, they are just upset at the general Xb one Anti consumer issues right now, combined with a combo grudge and jealousy that's been eating away at them, and they want to take out their frustrations on anyone to get their mind off of the current events. Mix in some personal history with some of these rodents/bandodgers, and you get a SW show.

[QUOTE="shawn30"][QUOTE="2Chalupas"] 

 

2013 article "Microsoft Xbox division has lost $3 billion in 10 years". So on the whole, XBOX is still not profitable since it's inception. 

http://www.neowin.net/news/report-microsofts-xbox-division-has-lost-nearly-3-billion-in-10-years

Sure, It's been profitable for a few years now with it's biggest year apparantly being 2011, but new console almost always means it will lose money it's first year or two.  So the hole for the XBOX will just get deeper. 

I can tell you, signing huge frivelous NFL deal, massive Halo TV deal, and Billions more on advertising seem more like "throwing the kitchen sink" at a problem than running an efficient, profitable business. Steve Balmer needs to reign these madmen (at the Xbox division) in before they destroy the company.

Their deal with AMD alone on the hardware side is reported at another $3 Billion. The overall hardware costs must be double that or more when you factor in R&D and manufacturing facilities (just talking fixed costs, not variable costs of production). 

http://www.vg247.com/2013/05/27/amd-microsoft-deal-for-xbox-one-cost-over-3-billion/

Again, do the math for how many consoles they will need to sell even assuming a generous $100 profit margin (which will *NEVER* happen at launch). At this pace of spending they are virtually gauranteeing that XBone will not be profitable. But what's worse, they are putting more money at risk so that if it's not successful you won't just have your normal "console launch" losses, but you could have multi-billion write-downs on top of them. Which is basically the same thing that happened to Sony last gen.  

StrongBlackVine

FIFA sells much better on PlayStation. A little exclusive content isn't going to change that.
