- Feel True Power marketing slogan
- Music is 'Power' by Kanye West
- Actors are blown away by 4k visuals because they can't handle the power

I don't think I realized how literal those CE memes were

And then they show off a bunch of stuff that could easily be on other platforms.

I don't know who the hell Microsoft is targeting with the One X. The One already has a major problem with desirable exclusives. This generation went PS4. It reminds me of when Sony made the PSP Go. It was a waste of time, resources and money from the moment it was announced.

It's only slightly more logical than Nintendo making a Wii U Pro.

They're targeting the 3 people who don't know how much better PCs are. It's a very selective market.

Funny timing. I just saw that their marketing team ripped off a guy on Reddit

They're targeting people who bought 4k TVs and want something to actually do with them.

The PUBG ad is especially dumb. You would have to already know what the game is for the commercial to mean anything.

The commercial I saw actually called it the most powerful console which reminded me of green butter's copypasta and it made me lol

Is that the one with Cuphead? That's the one I saw on TV that inspired this topic.

Eh? I praise Halo and Gears constantly. I'd love if Microsoft got their shit together like they had in the golden days.

Agreed. Sony truly knows how to market. Their audience is totally smart

If Steve Jobs/apple people marketed the Xbox, it would dwarf the PS3/4 etc. The Xbox is the better entertainment product, if we're not just talking games.


Yes.

If you live in a pre-streaming world where everyone watches subscription TV and buys movies on disc. Where X1 excels is in having good support for shit nobody uses anymore. That's part of the reason people hated MS's 2013 unveiling.

How many people, even ones with 4K TVs, actually BUY 4K BD movies?

And yes it has Cortana.... Right after everyone got the better assistants like Google Assistant and Alexa all over their house. Nice work. What's next, the fastest 56K modem?

Probably. I didn't catch it all. I see the PUBG bundle one a lot which makes me smh. I can't believe they are pushing an unfinished game like that. I guess it shows how desperate they are for an exclusive

Sony does shit like buying the marketing rights for third-party games and spamming those advertisements so dumb people think it's an exclusive instead of helping fund them in return for timed-exclusivity.

Lmfao right?

Who cares how popular it is or how upfront thdy are about it being a game preview. They shouldn't be marketing a game that sells millions

The sad part is that it isn't even exclusive. It's as exclusive as Tomb Raider was. Why Microsoft keeps eschewing true exclusives for timed exclusives is beyond me.

And the one time they actually paid for major exclusivity - Titanfall - they got an unfinished game whose sequel sold better on PS4.

Both Microsoft and Sony do this. Microsoft is doing this in the commercial I posted.

If you're already halfway through a console generation and getting screwed hard with competitors' exclusives, being proud of having a timed exclusive to an unfinished game is about as half-assed as it gets.

Because they should be pushing remasters of 10 year old games

Or, you know, giving enough of a shit to simply license a game like Nier Automata.

Having the best looking Call of Duty is sort of like having the fastest Geo Metro.

It is a weird game to bundle with their powerful console. It's a janky early access game that looks like donkey ass. It would be like if Nvidia bundled it with their graphics card.

I think something like AC Origins or Gears 4 would be better.

What on Earth is so great about the Xbox one x?

It has no good exclusives, and the ps4 shares the rest of the games.
