Even a chimp knows you don't tell your customers to fvck off, limit your market drastically and expect to succeed in anything.

That's okay.

No one wants to import this garbage console anyway.

[QUOTE="FoxbatAlpha"]It will create a new higher class of gaming for a new gen of hardcore gamers. Not everyone will be able to enjoy this level of gaming, but not everyone gets to drive a Ferrari either. This will sort out the couch full of greasy monkeys playing Madden on a PS4 from the more sophisitcated gamer. J_Swayze

 

So that's what Xbox fans are saying now? Wow...

And what makes the Xbox One "higher class", when the PS4 is a more advance hardware?

Its not what XB fans are saying, its what i'm saying. More advanced hardware? MOOOORRREEEE AAAAADVVVVVVVVVVACED HHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRDWARE? oh now that is good. Just because it specs out a bit higher doesnt mean they are not off the self parts from tigerdirect.com.

Oh come on. At least other region-locked consoles can be played outside of where you bought them? I'm still playing my US versions of N64 and PS2 on a PAL TV for f*** sake.

Please don't tell me they're thinking of blocking you from selling the hardware too?

This is getting pathetic now, we're saying that just because someone working on Microsoft support Twitter doesn't know whether or not you can sell the console that means something must be true? No, just no. That person probably knows exactly what we do, they're reading from a sheet of responses and adding a "thanks for asking!" at the end. There's a difference between a CEO saying something and a low level company employee saying it.

Does anyone in Japan/Asia ever buy Microsoft consoles anyway? It's definitely a silly decision, but let's not make a big deal out of something that doesn't matter to anyone on this site. meetroid8
Xbox 360 was incredibly successful in India, and led the market for three full years.

It's not just Japan, they ignoring central Europe again as they did this gen by not bringing Xbox Live Gold there, that main reason why MS didn't beat Sony here

*facepalm* With every bit of bad news you'd think they'd want all the business they could get, they are literally killing it, every bad decision they could make they're making it. It's not even fun anymore, I loved my original Xbox, skipped the 360 because for me it was meh, this Xbox One I don't even wanna be caught looking at one.

I like how when things are not even finished yet with licensing and manufacturing and policies people think things like this are true and factual when even MS cannot provide proof other than their word. Which conflicts with other MS workers.

Well MS while sony is saying good things you keep saying bad things. I have my PS4 preordered and I got a PC, and I think that combo can satisfy me for a while.

Man, wtf happened to Xbox.

def_mode

Like Sony did after the success of PS2, MS has become incredibly arrogant (hard to do for a company that was already arrogant as is). It will be very interesting to see these console numbers, and the moves MS makes if they get stomped out on a regular basis by Sony.

Why would MS waste their time in Japan? They lost a ton of money in that market twice, and competed successfully without it.

StormyJoe
Exactly, its a waste of time and resources when its much smarter to concentrate on the main areas and other selective places. But right now ist cool to hate MS and ifr a bathroom at a Microsoft building ran out of toliet paper someone would post about it online and start a thread. Eventually though the online hate/bs gets tiresome and fatigue sets in. No matter what they say Xbox One will be just fine. And Im buying it day 1 :)

?? :)  WOW... :D Your really work hard defending EVERY Microsoft mistake they make. :lol:  :lol:

I know you can't say anything bad... but is there anything that Microsoft has done that pissed you off, or you thought was a mistake???  again I know your contract with your company under Microsoft forbids you from speaking ill against them but... try it.

I am no blind fan of Sony's though this time around they did a LOT better than with PS3.  They really screwed that up. I mean the chips were not ready, their PSN was not ready, Home was not ready.. EVERYTHING pointed to wait a year.... BUT NO. 

Still, these huge mistakes that Microsoft are doing are MONUMENTAL.

I'd love to hear their explanation for how they plan to sell a billion of these things when more than 5 billion people can't even buy the damn thing.
