Oh FFS Microsoft, has it ever crossed your minds that people come home from work/school and just want to sit on a comfy sofa 'watching' some tv to relax, not constantly be engaged or bombarded with interactivity bullshit. If I want interactivity I will play a game, then again your new console wouldn't know **** all about that.
@ManatuBeard @TurboGuru In all seriousness it has got me thinking... a lot of people here are relishing in XBOX ONE epic fail...in particular sony fanboys...
As a xbox owner, I'm pissed, oh soo royally pissed - the last 2 years have seen the demise of a great console, a sudden shift from their target market, the fucked up dashboard littered with ads was one sign of this.
What makes me concerned however is lack of competition. Yes the PS4 has all the hall marks of a great gamers console, but in the end dominance has never really done any good for the end consumer. I guess what I'm saying is I wish they were both competitive to keep each other constantly improving their console experience for gamers.
@Gallowhand @TurboGuru @ManatuBeard no, metrics doesn't give you meaningful feedback... sure it shows behaviour but you cannot beat real feedback from your audience.
How would 'metrics' explain the crapiness of the DPAD.
@Gallowhand @ManatuBeard "What do we want this to be?"
alas, their fundamental error. They sat in a fucking office and discussed what THEY would like to do with the new xbox instead of looking at what their core audience wanted.
Now clearly there was some 'listening' going on because the new DPAD is indeed much improved. However I don't recall anyone asking their xbox to become a VCR and spies on them in perverted and unspeakable ways.
