Microsoft Memo: Ego's Aplenty, and no MGS4. (this year.)
Cheeburga | 2:55 AM on 01.07.2008 11 comments


Found here
http://www.mercextra.com/blogs/takahashi/2008/01/06/meanwhile-this-xbox-360-memo-showed-up-in-my-inbox/

Is a memo Microsoft Games chief, Don Mattrick sent out to his "troops"
This lucky guy got it from a PR person (Workmeng.)
It's really boring and just spouts on and on about how great Microsoft is and how the console is slowly being a super media center and losing focus on what the fuck they should be focusing on.
Games.

Here's a tiny snippet from the ego infused memo of "we win"

"In 2008 the hits will continue to come with exclusives including “Halo Wars,” “Too Human,” “Fable 2,” Alan Wake,” “Splinter Cell: Conviction,” and several exciting yet-to-be-announced titles. Xbox 360 will be home to the next versions of great franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Resident Evil, and we will continue to be the leading choice for sports fans, with the next editions of Madden and FIFA looking and playing better on our platform."


No MGS4, but fear not my friends, there's hope on the years ahead.
If Microsoft has not taken over our fucking homes.

Rofl. Leading choice for sports fans? I think that Madden and FIFA comes out on every system that is available to man. And doesn't look/play the greatest on "teh xbox".

I just hope that MGS4 does come out for the 360. Might actually help them to get more units :D

So wait your saying
"It's really boring and just spouts on and on about how great Microsoft is and how the console is slowly being a super media center and losing focus on what the fuck they should be focusing on.
Games."
But then you quote the thing right here where it specifically mentions games
"Here's a tiny snippet from the ego infused memo of "we win"

"In 2008 the hits will continue to come with exclusives including “Halo Wars,” “Too Human,” “Fable 2,” Alan Wake,” “Splinter Cell: Conviction,” and several exciting yet-to-be-announced titles. Xbox 360 will be home to the next versions of great franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Resident Evil, and we will continue to be the leading choice for sports fans, with the next editions of Madden and FIFA looking and playing better on our platform."

so are you mad that they released a press release at a consumer electronic show that doesnt specifically talk about all there unannounced games that there gonna do at e3 or the any other game trade shows or do you just not know whats going on and wanna complain about it.

The part about how consumers spent about $1 Billion dollars more on the XBox than the Wii is just plain ridiculous. Of course, you're gonna spend more. Most people who do get the Wii are completely satisfied with the pre-packaged Wii sports and just spend extra on controllers. Whereas with the XBOX, the cheapest SKU they have is $280 dollars, that's just the console and not accounting the $60 games, extra controllers and the hard drive if you want to watch movies and such.

That realy doesn't sound right if you think about the ridiculous amount of people who bought the Wii and still they spent a total of $1 Billion dollars less than those who got XBox 360s.

Well Lumberjack.
First off, I type what I want.
If the Microsoft Gaming division chief has about 10 paragraphs on non-game related shit, I'm upset. The PS3 and 360 are losing focus on "gaming". Thank god the wii doesn't have a dvd player because they know what to fucking focus on.
Microsoft can go on about their other crap by someone that's not a part of the games division.
And no doubt that memo is egotistical.
But hey, i'm a gamer, not a fanboy. I'll rant on about whatever.
Also notice it says Tiny snippet, about games.
Internet is serious business also.

As ludicris as it sounds, to 360 users... They will get a MGS game. It just won't be MGS4.

That's me though. Because of recent articles stating the fact of hardware hurdles.
( MGS4 --> 360 ) i.e. Sixaxis.

It would create a massive & expensive overhaul Konami said.
