"You'll never need more than 32MB of CACHE"
MS - 1994

FordGT - A quote is a quote.

Yeah Sony was way more funny

I own a 6.1 YAMAHA AV Receiver with a Bose Acoustimass 5 Series III set up, this is what the averge consumer has. Not buying the HD-DVD player for the 360 because of the lack of 1.3 HDMI isnt what average people care about. More power to you.

Coming in here trying to justify what Sony has said trying to pin MS's quotes as in the same boat is ridiculous to me, HDMI is still not needed Sony win hands down and the most extream comment Sony made are not even listed in this news post.

(360 is 1.5, MS's shooting for the moon as we're shooting for the Sun, PS3 launch titles will be untouchable durring the 360's entire life span, SKu's will be confusing to consumers, online is not what gamers want?. It goes on and on get the hell out of here and stop trying to justify Sonys BULLSHIT with a twist of one comment MS made which isn't what they meant. lol

* PS3 is 3X more powerful...

* The Xbox 360 is a Xbox 1.5...

* We're shooting for the Sun while MS is shooting for the Moon(is it practical to go to the Sun?)

* PS3 launch tittles will be untouchable and the 360 will never be able to match the PS3 launch titles its entire life cycle.

* Online gaming isn't what gamers want

* Different SKu's will just confuse consumers

* All games will do 1080p at 120 fps

* PSN will match XBL from day one

* Rumble is last generation

on and on Sony wins hands down

#8.1 MS isn't marketing the 360 with BULLSHIT if they are responding with BS then thats something that not hurting the Xbox and something that only news junkies know, Sony's BS has made it to the streets and is doing great harm to the PS3 Million waiting thinking PS3 was going to be some console that plays movies quality games and were let down by the truth after the first launch all the other BS has hurt them too by adding to what i mentioned above.

#13 people are buying HD-DVD matter of fact the players outsell Blu-ray players so its only common sense Studios will look at that as a major resource its only a matter of time.

Choice meaning in giving consumers choice if they wan't HD player options that MS provides, if they want to invest in HD adding cost they might not want to pay for not being able to use it or choose not to use it, do you understand?!. Thats the weakest point yet posting that piece of a guy bugging Peter about something he thinks MS should do and tring to trap MS.

"Ya know, things break"
-Peter Moore on the subject of system failures

Most pathetic quote of them all.

The second most:

"You dont need HDMI. Our system is fully futureproof"
- Microsoft

Were's Nintendo's quotes? lol.

Meh, I see what is going on. But really how are these news4gamers?

Things break

This link shows an article where Peter Moore made a complete ass of himself while being interviewed by EGM on HD formats

http://www.n4g.com/industry...

Preview-

EGM: "in regards to HD-DVD as an optinal add-on, you said in the past, "We're not forcing movie technology on game players, but instead are letting them choose how to personalize their experiences." If this is true, why not sell a Blu-ray player as well?"

Peter Moore: "Well, because...when we look at HD-DVD, we're looking at a superior format."

EGM: "Why not give customers the choice, though?"

Peter Moore: "Because the consumer's choosing HD-DVD." [Laughs all around]

EGM: "Does that mean you wouldn't include a built-in HD-DVD player in future iterations of the Xbox 360?"

Peter Moore: "No, no, it's about choice. If they're fortunate enough to be the small minority right now that have the equipment to take advantage of the new generation of high-definition movie playback, then at their choice they can buy an HD-DVD player for $199."

"Ya know, things break"

Has MS ever released a product that didn't break alot and need constant updates?

"You dont need HDMI. Our system is fully futureproof"

bwaaaahh, then they add it later. And futureproof? The 360 has last gen tech as is. too funny....

That "Things Break: quote was the most disturbing since they are dismissing a big problem and blaming it on a careless minority (Which is NOT right). Not as funny as Sony quotes article but overally good.

"Ya know, things break"
-Peter Moore on the subject of system failures

***Yup. A LOT. Along those lines, comes this:

"I would go back and say the vast majority of people love their experience. We continue to go back and address all of these issues on a case by case basis. There is a vocal minority out there. We go off and try to address their issues as quickly and as pain free as possible."
-Todd Holmdahl on the question of system failure

***Pretty big vocal "minority."***

"I know it sounds expensive to a lot of consumers but we are comparable to those types of drives and also we have to go through a lot more testing and security."
-Aaron Greenberg on the subject of hard drive pricing.

***Sorry, but one of the VERY few things I envy about PS3 owners is their ability to change HDs w/o resorting to expensive proprietary drives.***

"You dont need HDMI. Our system is fully futureproof"
- Microsoft

***Truthfully, you don't NEED HDMI. Component does a nice enough job. But if your TV supports HDMI, it's a definite plus. But there's plenty of irony in that statement.***

OK, MS fanboys, just so you know, I've done the same thing with the Sony quotes.

Aside from giving some dry grass to fanboys to flame microsoft... what's the purpose of this article?

Yes, Sony fanboys... flame on! fame!...
anyways.. back to topic... I like this quote from microsof

"We think we have the games for this holiday, and that is very important in this business. This has ultimately become all about content."..

Very different from Sony quote, "We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even it didn't have games."

But I think... they were right... the PS3 has NO games! compared to the 360... I think they are trying to stick to what they said.
Maybe after the 5th million console is sold... they will work on the games... lol.

How is that for a quote that true gamers that play actually play games can care about... hdmi! hah!

Microsoft most horrendous quotes revolve around hdmi, hd dvd and blu-ray... can someboy tell me... why should a gamer care about that?

"things break."

i love that one.then second goes to "you don't need hdmi."then they add it.

microsoft missed the memo where all tv manufactures were moving to make 1080p televisions.WITH HDMI SUPPORT.samsung,rca,panaso nic,sony,toshiba,etc.where was microsoft?

no wait,they are not forward thinking.my bad.

i dont see why you xbox fanboys feel the need to bring sony into this subjet since it's about xbox quotes. If you want to talk about sony go into the sony quotes page.

Peter Moore might as well said "Ya know, babies explode"

From the posts so far, looks like there are only 2 favorite blunder quotes from Microsoft as opposed to innumerable favorite blunder quotes from Sony. Sony takes the crown.

"We don't feel like the Wii customer and the Xbox customer are the same thing. We think that as soon as the Wii customer turns 14 they want something else"

more hours so I can purchase PS3.
