Microsoft: Rivals have been slacking off

MCV: Sony and Nintendo's E3 performance shows they've 'been on an extended vacation' says Xbox boss

Vojkan6565d ago

What? Wait, again WHAT?! Are folks at MS using drugs or are they just acting stupid?
IS this the guy that said they will outsell PS3 this generation worldwide? LOL Then i believe him on this one 2

Genesis56564d ago

Yeah I could tell by Junes NPD's how bad they have been slacking.

Shadow Flare6564d ago

LOL

Microsoft instead of spending all this time dissing Sony and co. how about you stop slacking off and start making your own games? Yeah? Yeah Microsoft, been real hard at work ripping everyone off. Mmm. Geez they come out with some stupid comments sometimes. Nintendo slacking off, yeah. But Sony has been showing (and keeps showing) more and more 1st party exclusives. So how about you Microsoft take a lead from Sony and start making your own games?

StephanieBBB6564d ago

They are just looking like baboons trash talking like this. What happned to honor or humbleness in victory?

Im ashamed of micrsoft and hope Sony and Nintendo makes them eat those words.

ChampIDC6564d ago

Yeah, some people just don't know how to be humble about victory, and of course they thought they won E3. Everyone thinks they won E3!

MURKERR6564d ago (Edited 6564d ago )

bill gates leaving would have such a dramatic effect with employees having total breakdowns and talking gibberish

rgun6564d ago

Mattrick is such a douchebag. I'm really starting to hate that guy. If you want to see how a CEO should act, look at Jack Tretton! He doesn't say anything bad about his competitors, in fact he has stated that if the competition does well then that means the whole industry benefits and that is a good thing!

Bubble Buddy6564d ago

Did I see the same E3 everyone watched? Cause Microsoft's wasn't anything to piss your pants about.

whoelse6564d ago

What he doesnt know is that Sony have a lot of stuff underwraps that they chose not to reveal at E3. He will be eating his words ;)

INehalemEXI6564d ago

This guy is pure comedy. I lol.

thePatriot6564d ago

buying exclusives and making them multiplat is hard work. creating new IP is hard work.

iHEARTboobs6564d ago

Seriously, why are all these MS guys bashing the PS3? They're outselling you MS, if you had confidence in your product you would let it do the talking. You guys mouthing off makes it seem like that's all you have left. Lets hope not though because competition is good and makes all our games better but just shut up.

NowGen6564d ago

its not that serious. why do people take what he said with such anger? if you purchased a ps3 with your hard earned cash, well then why do you give a flying F what anyone says? i love my 360 and admit to be a 360 1st guy. mostly cause everyone i know have it so it makes sense to play most of my games with them rather than strangers. back to my point. knowing what my preference is, i dont believe this guy. well maybe the nintendo part is true. but the sony part...what else is he supposed to say? he's the face and voice of the 360 now. thats his job. but if i know better that what he said is false, the why dont most of the sony only guys notice it and ignore it? i think near to no remarks about this article would be saying a whole lot more about how you feel than to give this statement on minute of your time. just my own opinion.

RemmM6564d ago

Like I said, I think thats the reason why MS is doing the talk.

RemmM6564d ago

MS is just overconfident because of FFXIII. I would'nt count SONY and Nintendo out yet. Besides, truth is MS is slacking on sales. :)

GarandShooter6564d ago

'why do people take what he said with such anger?'

Maybe they're tired of hearing this kind of crap for the last 18 months.

...and it's like someone saying your mother blows goats. She may not but it's going to piss most people off.

thebudgetgamer6564d ago (Edited 6564d ago )

whaaaaaaaaaa

dantesparda6564d ago (Edited 6564d ago )

Just how much sh!t MS has been talking lately?! And yet, not one 360 fanboy has said a single thing about it yet. Yet had this been Sony talking sh!t, you know the 360 fanboys would be on it like flys on sh!t. Man, i tell you, fanboyism is fvcked up, mad fvcked up. It makes human beings act unfair, and irrationable, but oh well, i digress

Fishy Fingers6565d ago

Is he talking about a different E3 to the one I watched?

dude_uk6564d ago

no... no fishy..

I think he dreamt this "espectacular" E3 that hes talking about...and suddenly just woke up...

I think the only company on vacation here is MS where they have too much money to spend and just throw it around like its nothing important to them

antt36564d ago

Exactly.

And this bit had me laughing pretty hard: "Of course I'm going to be biased..."

No no. Of course not. He's being perfectly reasonable with his assessment. Bah ha ha ha!

Ashton6565d ago (Edited 6565d ago )

they were busy copying Sing star, PlayStation eye and Mii .On top of that they had to unload truck full of money to steal games from other platforms,,,,,

how original,,,just like a breath of fresh air

thank god for MS ;),,,such a gift to gaming industry

Solid_Snake6666564d ago

dont forget about about how RROD isnt FIXED YET

socomnick6564d ago

Money talks BS walks.

Dont worry though you will eventually get to play all those delayed sony games.

supahbad6564d ago

yeah and you'll get to play all those... oh wait, just Gears 1.5. nvm

ChickeyCantor6565d ago

Seriously wtf is it with MS workers and the Nonsense they spit?
Realtime Weapon change makes more sense than this guy =/.

TheColbertinator6564d ago

I agree with you Sidar.He is getting his ass kicked by Nintendo and he isn't doing anything to stop it.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle76d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7776d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg82d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree82d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai82d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde83d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy84d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12583d ago (Edited 83d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
