Note the interview is not written it is a video

Neoninja4727d ago (Edited 4727d ago )

Good interview! Gave a nice bit of info. Happy to know he put to rest the banning and losing the games purchase thing.

@Rifatgamer
It's no big deal, mess happens.

Rifatgamer4727d ago

"Still have access" - If he is talking about physical discs then yes, you would have access to them.
That could simply mean you can touch them or something.....

After watching this interview, this guy obviously is full of it; "We're building for the future," and "After the Sony conference we're not gonna change anything," REALLY?!

I can't take this guy seriously, same with Don Mattrick, Phil Harrison, and Steve Balmer.

Oh and Major Nelson, "You went full retard. Never go full retard."

pompombrum4727d ago

After their bold arrogant stance, I hope for their sake they have a brilliant marketing campaign planned. Otherwise they are going to go into next E3 with their heads between their legs and look like complete and utter idiots. That is assuming they're still employed by Microsoft come next E3.

kreate4726d ago

when he was asked about the question regarding the 24hr check and the issue of physical copy.

his answer was basically...

'xbox one's architecture, flexibility, family sharing,xbox is about being connected, future proof'

this is the summary of his very long and hard to understand answer.

now this is exactly the point, where him or microsoft like to twist these words and explain in this long and complicated way so nobody really understands the answer.

they need to take that 24hr check out and give some 'flexibility' by not implementing this.

forcefullpower4727d ago

The info he basically really covered nothing important. The only thing that was important he beeted about the bush on was family sharing thing yet never cleared anything up about it. This is something to good to be true.

If something is too goo to be true then it probably is.

Plus Major Nelson sounds like a complete tool.

DOMination-4727d ago

Apparently Sony rejected an interview with this same girl. She claims that Sony wanted to screen the questions but when they saw the potential questions to be asked they cancelled. Find the thread on gaf for more info.

3-4-54727d ago

Yea because it's such a hassle to have to bring 4 games that are about 3 inches in width and less than 1LB to carry.

Are we that lazy ?

Is bringing games elsewhere that big of a deal?

cyguration4726d ago

He didn't put squat to rest.

How will banning work then if you have to do a 24 hour check-in if your account is blocked? Please, explain to me how this works because Major Nelson didn't explain diddly squat.

What happens to your games tied to that account since the discs aren't worth squat but the licenses are? What happens?

Xbox One's official support said that if your account is banned all licensed games attached to that account is banned. THAT makes sense. When that happens with Origin and Steam you can still play your games offline...but remember you can't play your games offline with Xbox One if you fail to do the 24 hour check-in, so how can you play games you can't access?!?!?

Bzone244726d ago

lol. Sounds like you have a problem following a companies TOS with all your questions about bans. Don't cheat or hack and you should be fine.

Glad to see that rumor being put to rest and damn that chick is hot. ;)

i would trade my next ps4 for that chick :)

NeXXXuS4727d ago (Edited 4727d ago )

good thing i'm gay.

Tetsujin4727d ago

I'd rather keep the PS4, there's way hotter chicks; especially ones who game on the PlayStation.

Nocando4727d ago

I agree on the chick, oh my lord.

Thanks Nelson, now I'll go immediately pre-order my xbox.

This guy is a such a tool.
Luckily the smoking hot redhead made the video watchable.

TXIDarkAvenger4727d ago

Major Nelson is one cool guy. He should of done the presentation for MS. I don't see why you would hate him.

ThatCanadianGuy5144726d ago

He's standing there, greasy faced, pasty skin, with a dead dog on his head and dancing around every question.

If this is the face of Xbone no wonder it's a mess.

ThatCanadianGuy5144726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

How he looks is just the sad part.I'm judging him based on how he dodges questions and spins them.

Better job explaining things? He's Microsofts mouthpiece and that is it.He barely knows anything other than what master MS feeds him.

He tweeted out that MGSV was exclusive, that's how little he knows lol.

madpuppy4726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

@AnimeAvenger,

He did a great job really explaining nothing, Mojor Nelson is like a politician, a lot of words that sound like an explanation, but, when broken down, he has cleared nothing up.

But, I really cannot blame him for doing his job, he can only follow the company line.

besides that, he seems like an OK guy. could lose that hat though. looks like he stole it from a Japanese schoolgirl.

With Major Nelson, Xbox Had a Consistent, Likeable and Trustworthy Spokesperson

For far too long Xbox have created a serious messaging problem for themselves, in losing Larry Hyrb they discarded the solution.

No no they didn’t major nelson knows nothing about how to succeed in the console business and did nothing trustworthy.

fr0sty318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

Major Nelson was full of shit, for sure... I remember all the lies he was spewing during the 360 years, and on into the Xbox One years. He lied about Xbox DRM, for instance. Pretty much everything he said here turned out to be a lie. Also, let's call him who he is, not the cheesy "character" he tried to portray. Larry Hryb is his name. I guess the suits didn't think a middle aged guy named Larry would resonate "with the kids", so they had to spice it up with a "cool" nickname.

Cacabunga317d ago

MN was a clueless guy like Greenberg. Just two trolls full of lies

VenomUK317d ago

This is some major revisionism as ‘Major Nelson’ was a corporate face for a corporation who was regarded as soulless and insincere. He was part of Xbox’s image problem outside of the US. There were videos of him fake smiling for fans who wanted photos, then his expression turning into a scowl! I saw him at E3 2013 outside the expo centre with a team of young staff and he just looked so pissed off - but then he and Xbox were under a lot of pressure that year! I’m not saying he is a bad person, just that you shouldn’t hold him up as an example of great PR because he wasn’t.

1Victor318d ago

@mandf: “ No no they didn’t major nelson knows nothing about how to succeed in the console business and did nothing trustworthy.”
I totally agree with you and when I read the headline I 🤣

Notellin317d ago

Everyone in gaming made fun of the guy. Nothing he said was ever taken seriously by the community. He was never a gamer and everyone knew it.

-Foxtrot319d ago

Are Microsoft in that bad of shape we're doing the "Perhaps I treated you too harshly" shtick on Major Nelson...

darthv72319d ago

...watch out now, they will try to sell the idea that Mattrick was actually the good guy all along.

wesnytsfs317d ago

No, its N4G its so heavily filled with PS fanboys. I usually ignore the comments or take them with a grain of salt.

We aint gonna sit here with rose tinted glasses and glaze the cornball major nelson

StarcrossedBits317d ago

Yeah the first thing I thought was 'Holy cow that is some serious rose-tinted glasses'. Maybe it was written by someone who was 5 when the 360 was around and doesn't actually have a real memory of Larry.

Mixer Won't Just Become Facebook Gaming on Console, Xbox Executive

In a Reddit post, Xbox's Larry Major Nelson Hyrb said that mixer won't just change to Facebook Gaming on Console.

Mr Pumblechook2160d ago

If I was Facebook I would drop the branding as it is now associated with a failed streaming service.

exputers2160d ago

What do you think, why would Facebook partner up? They must be failing badly too lol

Stanjara2160d ago

While Mixer failed and didn't see any growth (or better, their traffic was going down), Facebook's gaming division (or whatever) was going up due to Oculus or chat or mobile gaming. More traffic on service, more ad revenue.
Increasing traffic also means that you have to go where there is traffic or where people are.
Since Facebook has money, and Mixer has money they went together to see potential growth.
Facebook goes for gaming because they have billions of people, who some of them are gamers, but they game on other platforms.
At this stage what ever they do they will se growth, but not from hc gamers or gamers in general, but from every day Joes who heard that fifa, gta and cod exists.

In other words, who cares :p

SpaceRanger2160d ago

Two companies that have been scrutinized for data collection practices, Facebook being the worst of the two. This is a partnership MS should have stayed away from.

Ausbo2160d ago

That was really the only option. Couldn’t have gone to YouTube because stadia would conflict with xcloud plans. Couldn’t go with twitch because amazon will be releasing their own answer to the streaming Wars.

The only other option was to not partner with anyone. If they did that, they’d be leaving their streamers high and dry. At least with Facebook they are offering partner status to those who had it in mixer and sign on bonuses

SpaceRanger2160d ago

It would have been way cheaper to just buy out people with sign on bonuses. The partnership with Facebook was probably expensive and will further tarnish their branding in the streaming space. Especially with so many companies boycotting Facebook right now.

And the likelihood of Facebook being integrated into the XSX at some point is super high now. Not sure anyone would want that.

MS can’t catch a break this gen when it comes to partnerships.

Ausbo2160d ago

The partnership is more about a gateway to xcloud. They want to push that to as many people as possible. They wanted mixer to be that, but it failed to gain traction.

This was more about xcloud than anything

Sunny_D2160d ago

I don’t know. His wording was cleverly typed. It feels like he’s saying it won’t be integrated for now.... Or get built into the OS someway or another.

RazzerRedux2160d ago

Sounds like this was all just a way to kill off Mixer and endorse an alternative that isn't Twitch or Youtube.

ColdSin2160d ago (Edited 2160d ago )

I think you are right. Amazon seems to have a game streaming service up their sleave and want it to go along with Twitch (click-and-play stuff). The same is true for Google with their Stadia streaming service.
