"If You Are Buying A Console This Holiday, Please Please PLEASE Buy An Xbox One... PLEASE"

I wouldn't expect MS to say anything else. I'm not really shocked.I'm going to buy an xbox one this holiday season anyway because there are some games I'm interested in that are on the xbox one and it's also still cheaper than the ps4 were I live.

M$'s Xbox marketing team lead Aaron Greenberg straight up lying, lol.

The PS4 has about 300 more games (both more retail games and more digital games) than the Xbone. It also has less exclusives...typical Greenberg. For many years though, Greenberg has always been a lying PR turd so I'm not shocked.

I wouldn't say that either PS4 or Xbone are amazing systems though (yet), but I find Greenbrrg still lying in the Mattrick and Spencer eras to be pretty hilarious.

@nyadc: yeah and that's just the solo playthrough, add co-op on legendary, finding all the intel and skulls, achievement hunting, playtime can easily go up past the 80 hour mark on single player alone.

Anyway I'd feel left out if I only owned a Ps4, Xbox gets the same great third parties as well as some amazing first party. I couldn't imagine how jealous I'd feel if I couldn't play Halo, Forza, Tomb Raider, Gears, Rare replay. All these games are great (Tomb Raider will be good).

"Xbox is the platform with the most games"

Considering the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have not been phased out yet I'm pretty sure he's speaking to both, which if that is the case technically Xbox still has more games.

He didn't say "Xbox One is the platform with the most games".

^Just wow MS.

Nice fact checking.

Too bad GS unions are dead...

Correction, actually the Xbone does not get the same great 3rd party games. There is actually a 300 game divide looking at both retail and digital and that gap is 3rd party gaming library growing every year between the Xbone and PS4 (which is due to the sales gap).

That said, the major huge CODs, Maddens are on both of course, but the statement they get the same great 3rd party games would be false.

They are both nice consoles, but yeah, actually the Xbone is not getting the same great 3rd party games, but it is getting some of them.

I own both since launch (they launched a week apart) so it's easier to notice which machines are getting what games, just like last gen and the gen before that.

@SolidTy: Yup. My bro and I teamkill a lot for shits and giggles. At one point, we kept trying to shoulder charge each other off of a Promethean elevator, and I probably racked up 10-15 there.

C'mon, lol. Look at the thread title of this thread if you don't want to bother clicking on the links you are pseudo defending:

Nice attempt at Damage Control (unless Greenberg is your boss, I wouldn't bother defending him), but I'm an expert at destroying Greenberg (and other silly Marketing guys across multiple companies) over the many years. He straight up lied, and it's either due to him being misinformed (unlikely) or another attempt to mislead the masses due to desperation. He could have been truthful and only talked up the Xbone's strengths (Rare, Halo 5, Forza 6, BC, etc) without resorting to lying about having more exclusives or more games on the Xbone (both lies), but this is Greenburg's M.O. for a great many years. I thought after Mattrick, Greenburg would be forced to clean up his act, but I guess Spencer likes to keep a wannabe Sith Lord hanging around the Xbox brand.

Firstly, your assertion would require we ignore English, we ignore the title of the thread, ignore the entirety of what Greenburg was talking about, and the entire context of the article.

Marketing and PR liar Greenburg is only speaking of selling the Xbone, talking only about the Xbone's retail price, only of Xbone's exclusives like Halo 5, and the entire two articles from both sources and the interview are about the Xbone.

Why didn't you just click the link or the source article instead of posting more inaccuracies? What is the motivation for defending a lying marketing goon? It's rather obvious as the entire interview is about the Xbone.

Let's review:

The XBONE SPECIFIC article(s):

Microsoft: If You Are Buying A Console This Holiday, You Are Buying An Xbox One

M$ Xbox marketing team lead Aaron Greenberg outlines the many benefits of buying an Xbox One this season.

According to Xbox marketing team lead Aaron Greenberg while speaking to VentureBeat, if you’re going to buy a console this holiday for games, it’s going to be an Xbox One.

“If you’re buying a console (SINGULAR) for games, you’re buying an Xbox. Xbox is the platform with the most games, the most exclusives, and probably the most anticipated game of the year in Halo 5 (ONLY ON XBONE, not 360). If you’re a fan of Halo, if you’ve ever played Halo, you know how special Halo 5 is. If you never have, the rich story with Locke and Chief and what’s been created — I can tell you, I’ve played through the entire campaign. It’s the greatest Halo ever made. It’s stunning. It’s worth the investment. That game alone is worth the investment.”

Of course there are other reasons to get invested. “Plus, if you like Forza or Tomb Raider or any of the other big titles like Fallout (on Xbone, not 360) or Call of Duty, we have them all. Starting at $349 (Xbone's US retail price, not the 360), we have some great holiday bundles. I don’t think you’ll regret the purchase (the entire interview is about buying an Xbone). The other commitment we make to you with backward compatibility (talking about Xbone, the whole article is about buying an Xbone) — over the next year we’ll continue to innovate and improve on the console month after month, just like we’ve been doing since we launched Xbox One (Xbone again!).”

The Source article:

Microsoft [marketing Greenberg] tells us how Xbox One will win the holiday and why consoles aren’t dying

This guy sums the 300+ game divide between both consoles and more:

Xb1 has 194 titles,

ps4 has 497 titles.

Xb1 has less than 1/4 as many exclusives.

If looking at metacritic, Halo 5 is the worst rated halo of them all.

Ps4 has more Retail games on the store shelves.

Oh, and while you dismiss indie for PS4 and not dismiss them for Xbone:

*highest rated xb1 title to date=indie

* most played title on all xbox platforms= indie

* the only game making back some of the costs to run xbox=indie

This industry and artform were founded on indie, and is still driven by it.

Game over

I applied zero ad hominems towards in the construction of this post (i.e. Xbot, lemming, etc). I was simply replying to the incorrect idea Marketing PR guy Greenburg was speaking about both the 360/Xbone when it's pretty clear in the interview that Marketing dolt Greenturd is addressing and selling only the Xbone and unfortunately lied to do so.

You really need to get a life, like your walls of text are getting sad. He said Xbox as a platform, he didn't say Xbox One, there's nothing else to discuss.

That's great that you found time to play with your brother.

I played previous Halos co-op with my Brother too, but sometimes we get in huge arguments...online, haha.

Still fond memories though. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! :P

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I enjoy smashing you fanboy goons:

I didn't apply any personal insults in my last post, instead deciding to post PROOF that you are an fanboy idiot, but since you are a dolt that cannot comprehend the English above you, let me try to bash your thick X-fanboy skull with some real knowledge...

No, I just completely owned your meltdown-driven-SOURLEMON-NyaDamageControlling-M$-loving reply and you are too slow to realize it, numbnutz, lol.

The entire article was Greenberg selling the Xbone, moron. Keep on auto-defending your corporate masters, dipshit. ;) Your meltdowns and inaccurate fanboy predictions give this place smiles for miles.:)

There, short and sweet for the slow bus.

"Xbox is the platform with the most games"

Considering the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have not been phased out yet I'm pretty sure he's speaking to both, which if that is the case technically Xbox still has more games.

He didn't say "Xbox One is the platform with the most games".

C'mon, lol. Look at the thread title of this thread if you don't want to bother clicking on the links you are pseudo defending:

Nice attempt at Damage Control (unless Greenberg is your boss, I wouldn't bother defending him), but I'm an expert at destroying Greenberg (and other silly Marketing guys across multiple companies) over the many years. He straight up lied, and it's either due to him being misinformed (unlikely) or another attempt to mislead the masses due to desperation. He could have been truthful and only talked up the Xbone's strengths (Rare, Halo 5, Forza 6, BC, etc) without resorting to lying about having more exclusives or more games on the Xbone (both lies), but this is Greenburg's M.O. for a great many years. I thought after Mattrick, Greenburg would be forced to clean up his act, but I guess Spencer likes to keep a wannabe Sith Lord hanging around the Xbox brand.

Firstly, your assertion would require we ignore English, we ignore the title of the thread, ignore the entirety of what Greenburg was talking about, and the entire context of the article.

Marketing and PR liar Greenburg is only speaking of selling the Xbone, talking only about the Xbone's retail price, only of Xbone's exclusives like Halo 5, and the entire two articles from both sources and the interview are about the Xbone.

Why didn't you just click the link or the source article instead of posting more inaccuracies? What is the motivation for defending a lying marketing goon? It's rather obvious as the entire interview is about the Xbone.

Let's review:

The XBONE SPECIFIC article(s):

Microsoft: If You Are Buying A Console This Holiday, You Are Buying An Xbox One

M$ Xbox marketing team lead Aaron Greenberg outlines the many benefits of buying an Xbox One this season.

According to Xbox marketing team lead Aaron Greenberg while speaking to VentureBeat, if you’re going to buy a console this holiday for games, it’s going to be an Xbox One.

“If you’re buying a console (SINGULAR) for games, you’re buying an Xbox. Xbox is the platform with the most games, the most exclusives, and probably the most anticipated game of the year in Halo 5 (ONLY ON XBONE, not 360). If you’re a fan of Halo, if you’ve ever played Halo, you know how special Halo 5 is. If you never have, the rich story with Locke and Chief and what’s been created — I can tell you, I’ve played through the entire campaign. It’s the greatest Halo ever made. It’s stunning. It’s worth the investment. That game alone is worth the investment.”

Of course there are other reasons to get invested. “Plus, if you like Forza or Tomb Raider or any of the other big titles like Fallout (on Xbone, not 360) or Call of Duty, we have them all. Starting at $349 (Xbone's US retail price, not the 360), we have some great holiday bundles. I don’t think you’ll regret the purchase (the entire interview is about buying an Xbone). The other commitment we make to you with backward compatibility (talking about Xbone, the whole article is about buying an Xbone) — over the next year we’ll continue to innovate and improve on the console month after month, just like we’ve been doing since we launched Xbox One (Xbone again!).”

The Source article:

Microsoft [marketing Greenberg] tells us how Xbox One will win the holiday and why consoles aren’t dying

This guy sums the 300+ game divide between both consoles and more:

Xb1 has 194 titles,

ps4 has 497 titles.

Xb1 has less than 1/4 as many exclusives.

If looking at metacritic, Halo 5 is the worst rated halo of them all.

Ps4 has more Retail games on the store shelves.

Oh, and while you dismiss indie for PS4 and not dismiss them for Xbone:

*highest rated xb1 title to date=indie

* most played title on all xbox platforms= indie

* the only game making back some of the costs to run xbox=indie

This industry and artform were founded on indie, and is still driven by it.

Game over

I applied zero ad hominems towards in the construction of this post (i.e. Xbot, lemming, etc). I was simply replying to the incorrect idea Marketing PR guy Greenburg was speaking about both the 360/Xbone when it's pretty clear in the interview that Marketing dolt Greenturd is addressing and selling only the Xbone and unfortunately lied to do so.

You really need to get a life, like your walls of text are getting sad. He said Xbox as a platform, he didn't say Xbox One, there's nothing else to discuss.

Microsoft really bends you out of shape lol...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I enjoy smashing you fanboy goons:

I didn't apply any personal insults in my last post, instead deciding to post PROOF that you are an fanboy idiot, but since you are a dolt that cannot comprehend the English above you, let me try to bash your thick X-fanboy skull with some real knowledge...

No, I just completely owned your meltdown-driven-SOURLEMON-NyaDamageControlling-M$-loving reply and you are too slow to realize it, numbnutz, lol.

The entire article was Greenberg selling the Xbone, moron. Keep on auto-defending your corporate masters, dipshit. ;) Your meltdowns and inaccurate fanboy predictions give this place smiles for miles.:)

There, short and sweet for the slow bus.

Xbox platform.

cow will argue and act offended by anything. In other news the president of Toyota says you should by a Camry for Christmas and the ceo of Apple says buy an iphone. Oh and Colonel Sanders say buy KFC not Pollo Loco

do you really search the internet daily looking for things MS says to get fake outraged about? Its like Fox News for Sony around here.

@nyadc: yeah and that's just the solo playthrough, add co-op on legendary, finding all the intel and skulls, achievement hunting, playtime can easily go up past the 80 hour mark on single player alone.

I didn't even go around searching for stuff like intel or skulls yet and I clocked 13 hours on Normal Solo and I didn't die much, I have no fucking idea what half of these idiots are talking about... There's still so much more to do in this game, also I loved the campaign, sure it wasn't perfect but it all lined up and made sense in the end...

@nyadc: I guess people want to believe anything that can discredit something they hate. Someone speed runs through a game and now that's the average play time, gullible.

No, he had to reach the 12h+ mark to proof his point on the forums that Halo 5lop isn't a short game. This is DC at its finest. Only him DC's Xbone this much.

I mean, they're not wrong in my case. It's the only current console I don't own.

Xbox is the platform with the most games, the most exclusives, and probably the most anticipated game of the year in Halo 5

But of course this is a total load. I appreciate it when PR can dance around the truth and spin things in their favor. This is just lazy, but whatever works I suppose.

No thanks, PS4 is the better console for this generation, in almost every conceivable way. More value & bang for my buck, personally. But keep trying MS. And good luck.

These Execs at MS are delusional to say the least, but you got love the Lem Kings.

M$'s Xbox marketing team lead Aaron Greenberg straight up lying, lol.

The PS4 has about 300 more games (both more retail games and more digital games) than the Xbone. It also has less exclusives...typical Greenberg. For many years though, Greenberg has always been a lying PR turd so I'm not shocked.

I wouldn't say that either PS4 or Xbone are amazing systems though (yet), but I find Greenbrrg still lying in the Mattrick and Spencer eras to be pretty hilarious.

PR/Marketing lying? Thats unheard of!

You would think falling behind PS4 nearly 3:1 in sales would humble them but they are still as cocky, deluded and arrogant as ever. No wonder the Xbox brand is dying.

It's less about being delusional, and more about being typical PR fluff. You have to remember that they are catering to those uninformed consumers, in an attempt to sway them.

True. No different then "Ken Kutaragi" telling PS fanboys that they will work more hours and get a 2nd job just to buy a PS3. lol!!

Let's have a look at Ken's incredible PR skills, shall we. He had so much love for Microsoft and XBox. /s lol!! Funny how hypocritical cows forget these things.

It's most likely a bit over 2X right now and will most likely stay below 3X for a long time and the xbox brand is nowhere near dying. MS is still selling a decent amount of xbox consoles per year.I'm not surprised PR can act this way sometimes.
