Oh My God, Microsoft.

Xbox One, designed with advertising in mind.
Ads will be integrated into entire user experience
Kinect confirmed to be used for personalized ads

You guys could have just said NOTHING, but no, you need to make sure everyone knows how much your system sucks.

I... just... how many people are getting fired from the marketing department?

"On Xbox [One], the ad is part of the actual experience, it's not something that is outside. The only difference is that the advertisement we have is quite small and not disruptive so people are not aware of clicking on the banners because they know this is a part of the whole experience on the dash."

 

This is something that you want to know, though. Forgetting everything else this alone is reason for me not to even consider buying it.

 

Yeah, it's something WE should know, but WHY would Microsoft mention it?

 

They have the consumers best interest at heart.




ha.

MY. GOD.

 

this video is old and obsessively posting about how ****** the xbox is, isn't persuading anyone we get it. xbox one is a joke. can we please move on.

 

No!

 

no, because the internet forgets way too easily

 

I didn't realize the Internet was one single entity.

 

You just haven't become One with Us yet.

 

The internet is a collective, and as a collective, they are way too quick to forgive and forget

 

...

 

this is a video game console, not the holocaust.

 

Microsoft should be charged for crimes against humanity

Excuse me a moment...

*walks out of room* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! *in despair and frustration, walks back*

Okay, I'm done. (Linkara, FTW)

Wow... Just....... Wow... Oh yeah, that video is pending comments now. Anyone know why? :P

I like the last comment: "We don't really need the Smartglass, there's already a ton of tablets and two controllers." Great marketing there, MS.

Why in the hell Mattrick is still breathing, I have no idea. I thought they'd finally shut him the hell up, or Nelson who REALLY hasn't helped, either. They are not helping with damage control, even if it's advertisers and marketers, Mattrick still should have some say on what they're advertising. Telling people that they're going to be watched and heard for what kind of ads you get after spending 500 dollars on a console and more with the ads IS NOT going to sell your product.

 

Seeing how bad Xboner is just makes me feel good :3

 

Okay just thought I'd leave these here.

It's locking out 3rd party developers so hackers will have a hard time.
