@CynicalCaviar They did display their vision, albeit incompetently. Like I said in another comment, they tripped at the start and then raised the white flag as the crowds around boo'd.
@Celsius765 @Stevo_the_gamer Indeed, for example, if they were aiming to lower game prices--why not take the bold move and make starting digital games available first before retail (maybe a week in advance or more) and at a discounted price at say, $49.99 or $44.99? I mean, their vision was to move more towards digital content and with that better and more competitive prices. I'm just throwing things out there, but Microsoft had a lot of room to maneuver, but tripped at the start and then raised the white flag as the stands boo'd.
@CynicalCaviar @Stevo_the_gamer It was Microsoft's fault for being incompetent in displaying their vision; and yes, it was also the gaming community's fault for being so impulse driven.
Gamers wouldn't have responded so harshly on the internet if Microsoft's PR team actually showcased their strategy clearly, and why it would benefit the gaming community. Gamers are part of the "insant gratification" impulse-driven thinking group that tends to jump to their own pre-conceived conclusions; it's evident based on all the fear mongering that we saw from the group even to this day now. But Microsoft, for example, releasing a "fact sheet" on the Xbox website instead of explaining the benefits of their infrastructure is the biggest no-no I've seen since Sony's original hubris on the PS3.
@Infinity_Gauntl The two versions are the same; thus, Mr. McShea is not the only reviewer that believes the game isn't very good. Unless, of course, you're under the impression that scoring a 5/10 is good.
