Microsoft hireing adolescent execs

See this article here.

Microsoft pretty much insulting the entire user base of PS2.
Tbh I think its rather sad and it obviously targets pasty netgeeks considering the level of funny in there.

What ya think, responsible behaviour for a big company?

I'd be surprised if a PS2 user could read anyway.

i thought it was quite funny

ironic, Two producers of CONSOLES arguing who is childish

you know, consoles being those things with njente more than games - games involving killing imaginary foes etc.

Ofc i enjoy some of these too, but at least i know im a big baby.

And also, PC's > Consoles, by such a silly way

That article was the biggest piece of self-indulgent commercialised **** I've seen in quite a long time. And they wonder why so many hate Microsoft. It makes me proud to look at my free copies of MS OS's on CD-R, knowing that not one penny of their cost went to whichever retard wrote that.

I found it egotisical, in extremely bad taste and not at all funny which it is supposed to be...

One console manufacturer openly insulting another merely for propoganda purposes is childish beyond belief, microsofts ego must be the size of manhatten island, if they believe for one second this will bring them more clientel they are sorely mistaken.

They would be better in investing in a better selection of games and a designer to redesign what is patently the most ugly console on the market to date.

I'm sorry, but an Xbox is absolutely the largest most hueg thing on earth. Imagine, if an xbox hits the earth, we'd all be wiped out. Just like that. *PAK**CHOOIE**UNF* and we'd be gone before we even discovered the terrible secret of space.

What is wrong with being childish? If you don't find it funny then ignore it, in the way one might ignore sword. I believe you need to lighten up. I hear the Atkins diet works wonders, you fat pasty netgeek.

Nothing is wrong with chieldish, that is if you're a loser posting crap on a board. But its different when you are an international company. I'm not saying 'being funny' is a bad thing, but this kind of 'being funny' is not, they should try real humour instead of taking the piss out of others, that would work way better.

I'm getting an X-Box.

\o/

Simply because one of my dad's friend can get it for £100 with 4 games.

We're not asking any questions about why it's so cheap and new, since we trust him implicitly as a man of the law.

PS2's are better though.

I've never read such a piece of self indulgent childishness in my entire life.
You should market a product on its strengths, not on the supposed weaknesses of other products. To go on to imply that users of the PS2 are reclusive friendless monkeys (to chose a few words from the article) is unforgivable.
I know Microsoft has never really held much in the way of a moral standpoint when it comes to marketing ploys, but this pushes it to a new low.

Incidentally, everything above is an exact copy of what I sent to the "Comments on this article?" address. Not that anyone reads them.
