Microsoft's Wild and Outrageous Statements!

Don't worry I wouldn't want Microsoft to feel that they have been left out.

Post any that I forgot.

Peter Moore's Lucid Dream - At the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005, Microsoft's head of Interactive Entertainment Business, Peter Moore, got more than a little carried away with his promise of high-definition games. The former SEGA man praised Xbox 360 and stated: "Next generation games will combine unprecedented audio and visual experiences to create worlds that are beyond real and they'll deliver storylines and gameplay so compelling that it will feel like living a lucid dream. The result is a state where you achieve the perfect mind-body equilibrium as you forget your physical surroundings and you become completely immersed in the game itself; this controller becomes an extension of your body, it becomes the gateway to the Zen of gaming." That's deep stuff, Peter.

Peter Moore on the 360 failures - "You Know, Things Breaks"

Shane Kim - "Well, we're going to be at 5 - 5.5 million units sold by the end of June. We continue to have demand that exceeds supply. So we're pretty confident that with the breadth of content that we have, and the fact that our competition doesn't launch until November, we're very confident that we'll hit the 10 million mark. "

J Allard - "Our goal: to reach 1 billion consumers"

Bill Gates on the Xbxo 360 - "It's a general purpose computer."

Shane Kim - "We will ship ten million Xbox 360's before our competitors ship one"

He's right, neither Nintendo nor Sony has yet shiped an Xbox 360

Peter Moore: "Bu, but we blasted out of the gates with the best launch in the history of gaming!"

:lol:

halo 3 was exclusive no matter what, thats 1st party, everyone knew that, no reason to reaffirm that

True. They need to fix that heat problem. Just put it in a bigger case and put more fans. I think I saw a pic of a fixed 360 with 2 extra heatsinks.

I know but I remember Moore say something about halo 3 and GTA 4 and using the word exclusive. He worded it oddly. By the way that link does not work and the comments say that the title is very misleading. The comments also talk about DLC and not the game.

No rockstar never talked about ps3 DLC. Everyone just assumed that there would be DLC on the ps3.

Ken: Quickly! Ship out a 360!!

Assistant: We can't! Microsoft has the patents!

Ken: Those cheap *******s!!!

What about these?

Bill Gates: "Viva Pinata is for little girls."

Bill Gates: "We have sold 10.4 million 360s by the end of 2006" (Not the exact quote, but every MS fanboy ate it up :) )

Toy Story graphics quote.

all of those statements combined dont even come out to be as abda as "we cold run games at 120 fps in full hd and true audio" lets not mention those real time e3 05 trailers. "we want consumers to work extra hours to afford a ps3" sonies list goes on

UPDATE: i also though sony could sell 5 mill with absolutely no games :| since they have 1 good game why havnt they sold 5 mill in 8 months?

How it that an outrageous statement?

I almost forgot this one. Bill Gates on the Xbxo 360 - "It's a general purpose computer." Funny how people made fun of Krazy Ken when he made the same comment earlier. gmastersexay

Didn't ken call the ps3 a supercomputer?

havent they proved time and time again its close to many supercomputers? supercomputers are just pure number crunchers, so supercomputers arent magic or anything, they just computate a lot.

If they had included two cells like they were going to it would have been considered a "supercomputer" by industry standards.

That doesn't count. He is using more that one ps3. That makes it automatically a supercomputer. You can do that with the 360, pc and even the wii if you had enough of them. But just one does back up the claim. Were they realy going to have more that one cell in there?

Now if they did that I would have gotten a PS3 when it came out. If it was still $500 for the core.

actually he is a cheap bastard by comparison to how much money he has. he barely gives any compared to his excessive amount of money. there is no way he can spend those billions of dollars, he has no kids, he should drop 1 billion in charities, he wouldnt miss it

He has 3 children. When he dies he is giving almost all of his money to charity. I can't think of any other person that is going to do that.

I just sick of eveyone trying to cut him down. He has done a lot of good. Thats more then what we can say about Ken or
Reggie. By the way if you didn't notice he is old. What does running have to do with being a man? To me being a man is about being responsible and doing the right thing.

youre right, his company broke countless monopoly laws, made a disgusting OS called windows that is full of holes, and memory/resource management problems. has countless fragment problems, and he stole it from Mac. thank god he was there to make computing horrid and break laws to make money, what a great man.

youre right, his company broke countless monopoly laws,Microsoft has not been not convicted of that yet made a disgusting OS called windows that is full of holes,Every os has holes, if every one used mac then there would be more problems on the mac then on windows. The hackers atack the OS with the most users. and memory/resource management problems. has countless fragment problems,That is true. and he stole it from Mac. Mac stole from xerox so yeah not even Steve Jobs plays nice. thank god he was there to make computing horrid If you know what to do it is far from horrid and break laws to make money,Microsoft has not been not convicted what a great man.

By the way what OS are you using?
