Don Mattrick has given an interview to GameTrailers talking about the Xbox One and the reception it has got. Obviously he isn’t going to come out and say that reaction has been negative but there are some instances in the interview that make you raise your eyebrows. One of those points is that Don Mattrick advises that if you don’t have internet access then you can get an Xbox 360.
The exact segment about the Xbox 360 starts around the 1:40 mark. Even Geoff Keighley seems a little taken back by replying with. “So stick with 360. That’s your message?”
You can kind of see Don panic a bit afterwards once that question is asked. There are other moments during the interview where Don does really try to push the angle that this is good for gamers. He says the Xbox One is a console “for gamers by gamers,” and that people will come to appreciate the online connectivity.
I kind of feel sorry for Don because he didn’t have much wiggle room. He couldn’t exactly promote the PS4 and he has to get as much positive PR for the One as possible but his job has been made difficult by having the authentication feature while Sony came out and said they wouldn’t have it. Where Microsoft goes from here, and how the company responds to the negative reception, is anybody’s guess.

I cant get too worked up about this as almost every console manufacture have sold last gen consoles as an alternative for people who don’t want or can’t upgrade. Sony will sell more PS3 this holiday than PS4s and I’m sure MS will sell more 360s than Ones too. Although if I had to choose I would buy a PS3 over 360 as Sony has a history of supporting 2 generations at once… its entirely possible that come this holiday Sony could have the number 1 and 2 top selling systems, and if Nintendy releases the Mario/Metroid/Zelda dogs of war MS could be in the bottom 2 spots.

I’ve read the headlines and most of the negative stuff regarding the XBox One and i’ve been thinking that they are idiots etc, but for me this video slightly changes my view. It’s a new machine with a new way of thinking and it’s always the same when people try new things, they are called crazy. I’ve never owned an Xbox, it’s always been Playstation for me but there’s something about this video that makes me think I should out a little while to see what the big picture will be.

He looks like a man that has been kicked and kicked ever since the reveal. And this interview was before their presentation and, of course, before Sony’s. Can you imagine the meetings their having at MS right now…?
It’s a mess, but I can’t feel too sorry for them. Was it arrogance or ignorance towards the gaming community…? Interesting to see EA trying to distance themselves from it all. I can’t believe that MS went for this DRM approach without talking to the big publishers…

It’s like watching a pile up happen on a motorway, just when you think it’s finished another massive lorry of fuck-upery zooms out of the mist and smashes in wreck.

It’s getting to the point where I almost feel sorry for Microsoft.

The same video has been posted on Digital Spy and the comment section is usually full of fan boys from both sides. At the moment there are 137 comments all negative for microsoft and a large number of Xboxers saying the will move to PS4.

You could give Microsoft the starring role in The Human Centipede 3, and they still wouldn’t have enough feet to shoot themselves with!!!
