What's Wrong With Micro$oft?



So, this is the title of Microsoft's latest attempt to gain a larger success in SE Asia. Probably, people think that no one can beat Sony in disastrous viral marketing...

U R WRONG.

After the Sony's viral marketing attempt, everyone thought this couldn't go any worser. Technically, Microsoft still rules the sales of next-gen consoles thanks to the success of Xbox 360. However, they can't get enough. They didn't cared about SE Asia when they released their consoles later than in the rest of the world, but they now care. WHAT'S WRONG WITH U?

U don't want an Xbox 360, do u?

Let's say you live in Singapore and you stumble upon this site. What Xbox 360 has to offer? "Great Japanese games", "ability to play with friends", "simple online gameplay", "blockbuster titles", "awesome gaming experience" and "looks cool". Wow, I never seen such solid arguments! I gotta buy one now... Wait a minute, why great Japanese games? I mean, we're talking about Singapore, right? And all a customer wants is a gaming console, not another bunch of awesome Xbox 360 icons, emoticons, wallpapers and, of course, spammy ads in your e-mail box... WHAT'S WRONG WITH U?

There's nothing wrong with me. I am sure Ken Kutaragi is thinking: "Why didn't WE come up with this?"... Well, simply because this is way too insulting for Asians. Americans love that kind of logic, but this type of marketing isn't suitable to Asia. The company which made all this non-sense, e-Crusade, confirms that Xbox is on their client list. For sure, they won't get any other client after this scandal...

...If there would be another guy singing "360 is the man", I would have said this is far worser than the PSP viral blog. This way, it's only a bit worser, but it will surely have a strong impact on those markets...

...WhatzUpWithU?!?  Poor Michael Murphy...
