Aaron Greenberg Comments On Natal Versus MOVE

Torrence Davis of The Bitbag writes, "After the official announcement of MOVE by Sony and the results of NPD, I had to see what was on Aaron Greenberg's mind. So I asked him about Sony's new MOVE system, what pushed 360 sales for February and the thoughts of seeing God Of War 3 quality graphics on the 360."

360 innovative? FF a proof of 360s power?360 most powerful console? I know he has to do the PR talk so I won't bash him but he really does astonish the sane with the delusional comments.

An people wonder why 360 cheerleaders are how they are,it all flows down from the man at the top

GreenRingOfLife5929d ago

With MOVE its just like an HD Wii (the controller is almost the same!) boring

With Natal, it is extremely innovative and is completely controller free, which is an entirely new way to game opposed to just copying the Wii controller and sticking a round ball on the end

LordMarius5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

eh wtf? lol

Al Bundy5929d ago

AG: We have proved over the years, that all games can be realized on Xbox 360. Just look at titles like Final Fantasy XIII, Forza Motorsport 3, Gears 2, and Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360? These games and our leading online experiences demonstrate that Xbox 360 is the most powerful games and entertainment console in the market today.

LOL, really?!

NateNater5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

For some games you just need a controller. I can't see myself having that much fun racing with an invisible steering wheel in Natal. It would probably feel awkward. But with Move, you don't have to pretend a steering wheel is there because of the convenience of a remote.

Imagine Wii without a remote. It seems strange doesn't it?

I'll say it again, for some games you need a remote. I have to admit, it'll be interesting to see how Natal handles games without a remote though.

"Final Fantasy XIII, Forza Motorsport 3, Gears 2, and Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360? These games and our leading online experiences demonstrate that Xbox 360 is the most powerful games and entertainment console"

2 sub-HD games, a game that has a more powerful PS3 counterpart, and a game with broken online play represents the POWER of the 360?
WHAT?

acedoh5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

I don't see how or why the Natal gets so much attention. Call me what you want but the Natal is nothing more than training to be a mime or doing improv. If those things were popular I could see the Natal taking off but they aren't. Most people don't have imaginations that great to pretend they are holding a gun or steering wheel. Even as a child I needed something to hold to make it feel real when playing cops and robbers or chase.

Anorexorcist5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

The outrageously delusional B.S. seriously does trickle down from the MS execs to gaming media journalists to finally all the way down to the tar pits with all the pathetic idiot MS fannies that praise Natal like it's interaction methods have NEVER been done before.

360 most powerful console? Hell the Xbox 360 can barely even match Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a first-generation PS3 title.

Final Fantasy a proof of Xbox's power? This guy must live in a very deep hole where no word of a far superior PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII have yet to reach his ears.

Edit: Oh I just lost a bubble. Well I am now absolutely positive that N4G is primarily made up of delusional PS3 detractors that have no sensibility, logic, or reasoning. Good god, at least I don't have to pay to be apart of N4G.

Rumor5929d ago

HAHAHAHAHA FUKIN HA!

nice one Greenburg, "leading blockbuster portfolio" april fools??

Godmars2905929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

Because MS put it out too early. Started the hype engine before the final production model was finalized, much less before any actual games for it were shown.

Not saying I'm pleased with what Sony showed for Move, just that once they fully announced it, they at least had more sense to show a completed product.

ThanatosDMC5929d ago

I wonder how much he gets paid...

Tito085929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

So yeah, on subject, I don't think that Greenberg dude is actually answering all the questions he's being asked, it's ok to ignore... But I like when Sony actually give the right answers, so that Greenberg should of done the same, it's like if he's a computer in which he's being told to say something!!!!

EVILDEAD3605929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

I completely disagree that 422K people bought the 360 mainly out of anticipation of Natal..in fact ZERO percent of that group bought a 360 in February for Natal..

But I will say that the strong momementum through the holidays.. games like ME2 and the COD:MW2 train that is hardly slowing down really have helped the 360 cause..

In regards to Final Fantasy..and I've said it before..had that game remained exclusive...there would have been a number of the usual sites that come out after every successful PS3 game launch..that would have declared that the title could never have been possible on the 360.

My jaw continues to drop with the 360 version and just like any 360 owner who bought the game..they are far from disappointed..

Hate Greenburg all you want..but he's right about the blockbuster numbers that some 360 titles put up every time out.

He's also right about the distortion of the internet vs. reality..people speak with their money..online numbers prove what peoople play day in and day out..

So at the end of the day women Lie...Men Lie..but the numbers don't lie!

But..I still won't co-sign everything A.G. said this time around...

Anorexorcist5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

Numbers certainly can lie. Ever heard of a little multi-billion dollar corporation called Enron who at the turn of the century whose net value had been reduced to less than that of dirt because their numbers lied?

Biggest5929d ago

If FFXIII on the 360 drops your jaw, then I am glad I don't live in your world. After playing it on the PS3 and knowing how large the gap between the look of games is, I wonder about the people that bought the 360 version and are impressed by it. The difference is the same as DVD and BluRay movies. I was floored by DVD quality almost 20 years ago.

Millah5929d ago

Lol @ Greenberg sounding like a straight up Microsoft PR machine.

meetajhu5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

TBb: Do you think games like God Of War 3 can be done on the 360?

Aron Dberg: We have proved over the years, that all games can be realized on Xbox 360. Just look at titles like Final Fantasy XIII, Forza Motorsport 3, Gears 2, and Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360?

FAIL FAIL FAIL. This guy has no idea what he is talking about even a grown up person would know what to say. This man is full of FAIL which is why makes him a microsoft employee

Godmars2905929d ago

considering he *IS* MS PR machine, that's kind of a good thing, Millah...

Christopher5929d ago

The ONLY people I hear talking anything about their crap-tastic 1080 HD immediate streaming service is Microsoft shills. I've tested it out, and the quality sucked ass for more than half of the movie compared to just downloading a flat 720 HD movie.

And, I really wish someone would have the ball in the industry to come out and call them on using 1080p as the label for that... it's interlaced, not progressive!

As far as 'graphic power', it's a no-win situation for Sony or Microsoft. Too many variables to look at and people on the Internet don't know squat about what's really technically superior, only what their rose-tinted eyes want to see when looking at their game of choice.

Army_of_Darkness5929d ago

Poor A.G.... It must be hard for a MS PR guy to answer questions like these, while clearly knowing the truth.
I also noticed that he didn't bash the ps3 in anyway?! LOL! I think Kratos must of had a long chat with him ;)

D4RkNIKON5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

Greenburg, careful you don't slip in that bull sh**. He answered each question with "Isn't the 360 just great? It has all teh best titles, most powerful console to date" He was asked about Sony's Move and didn't mention it once. He also brought nothing new to the table, no new information. He basically started his classic speech about you being the controller, same thing we have been hearing since E3 09.

Sony at least showed Move in action using many different game types, I am wondering how Natal will be able to do the same without buttons.

Kassanova075929d ago

I stopped reading after "AG: Xbox 360 has a strong history of innovation".

jessupj5929d ago

Never ceases to amaze me how much garbage and absolute lies that delusional man spews out. You'd think after a few years of this fanboy PR talk I would get used to it.... And it's interesting how the media rarely ever calls him out on his complete lies.

It's gotten to a point where you could easily call this propaganda.

EVILDEAD3605929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

LOL @ biggest still stalking and running from responding to the other articles he brings negativity to..

Yup..it's because I actually PURCHASED the game. You on the other hand don't even OWN Final Fantasy. You just talk about what you READ and pretend to KNOW what a game looks. But we'd all love to see you name every single DVD that 'floored' you back between 1989-1990 era.

@ Army of Darkness...

I would say nice pic..but since your just a copycat multiple account made yeaterday to bash all things 360..I'll pass

xabmol5929d ago

You should keep reading. It gets funnier! xD

Syronicus5929d ago

Why most of us think that the 360 fanboys should be institutionalized... Especially when you see their idol being this big a douche bag.

harrisk9545929d ago

He had absolutely NOTHING to say... he didn't answer any question, other than to give a canned response out of a press release...

R2D25929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

I just visited 3 Move articles and I saw 1 or 2 360 fanboys. Now take a look a Natal article and the first comments are by PS3 f@nboys, in fact 90% of the negative comments are from PS3 fans.

Looks like PS3 f@nboys are more worrid about Natal than 360 f@nboys are worrid about Move.

sid4gamerfreak5928d ago

Come on, u all know that AG is a douche wanting to get attention. Hes like that 5 year old kid who likes all that hate and attention. U all r giving him that satisfaction. So i suggest, u guys stop the hate, stop responding to his crap, deep inside all of u, u know wats best for u right? Let him say what he wants to say.

Less hate, ppl, the world can be a better place.

Army_of_Darkness5928d ago

why..uh.. thank you.. I guess.. **looks confused at the same time**
Don't be ridiculous! I'm not bashing the 360 system.. just merely bashing that add-on they call "natal", until I actually see some good stuff! ;)

btw, I thought I killed you(my clone) in my movie already?!

EVILDEAD3605928d ago

btw, I thought I killed you(my clone) in my movie already?!

Actually..just like the movie & this site..since your MY clone..

I've been here looong enough to know I'm the one who killed you..but we ALL get the other account shock poster that is made because people too are scared to speak with their original one..

Army_of_Darkness5928d ago (Edited 5928d ago )

HAHAHA! I am the one and only! wether you believe it or not, doesn't matter to me clone nemesis friend...

here's the dealio.. I was a sega fan before, so I bought the add-on sega cd & 32X, which were a waste of my hard earned stolen money that I pillaged long ago... so with that said, my conclusion has already been decided about natal... but the sony move on the other hand is practically a new controller to change my Rampage, er..gaming experience.... might be a good way to practice my aim with my BOOm stick.

I like you clone... cause you look like me;) so I'll spare your life this time, wohahah!

MNicholas5928d ago (Edited 5928d ago )

use FFXIII and Forza 3 as examples of how 360 is the "most powerful platform."

Let's compare with the PS3:

FFXIII: PS3 version runs at 56% higher resolution with more advanced visuals

Forza 3: PS3 equivalent (GT5P) runs at 50% higher resolution with more advanced visuals

More than 4 years out and the 360 still doesn't have a game that can rival the Uncharted 1.

With Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, GT5P, God of War 3, FFXIII, MLB The Show, etc.. the power gap between the PS3 and 360 is becoming all the more apparent.

pansenbaer5928d ago

LOVE how he completely avoids talking about Move. Also love how he thinks Final Fantasy is a testament to the 360's power.

"Final Fantasy XIII, Forza Motorsport 3, Gears 2, and Modern Warfare 2" Those are "the most powerful games and entertainment console in the market today."? FF13 is running under HD resolution on the 360 and the other three game looks great but aren't even to the "most powerful". And if games like GoW3 can be done on the 360 then why aren't they?

Anyway, He does a good job responding to the questions. Just pitches his product; no need to bash anyone. I'd love to see what MS has for Natal at E3. The "motion war" we have going on is starting to intrigue me.

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.

solideagle37d 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

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

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.

Smellsforfree42d 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.

Loktai42d 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.
