From the Steam page:

66,415 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Multiplayer
65,164 Counter-Strike: Source
61,036 Counter-Strike
17,888 Football Manager 2010
13,746 Team Fortress 2
10,053 Left 4 Dead 2

That's not quite in line with his statements.

And it also scares me that 1.6 is still so popular.
Thats because 1.6 is still awesome, and because it will pretty much run on ANY pc.

OT. How can someone this ignorant work for the games industry?

What an idiot. He clearly has no idea what the hell he's talking about. This doesn't reflect well on Microsoft.

Dear Mr Kudo Tsunoda,
Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Battlefield bad company 2, Call of duty 4, Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 dead 2 and many others would like to have a word with you.

Also, it is now highly likely that you will be visited by Mr Saxton Hale and Mr Gabe Newell, escorted by Mr Robin Walker and his pile of hats. I do not want to be in your shoes when they burst through your front door.

But now that i think about it...They don't really care about trolls. and neither should we, move along.

I shall now to go and spend 10 minutes on a line to enter a TF2 server.

I'd say the reason that PC shooters are waning the way they are(read: if at all) is because dumb fucks like him stopped making them FOR the PC. Halo was a PC and xbox title. Halo 2 was an xbox title ported to the PC. And with Halo 3 they stopped doing it altogether.

So from me and the entire PC gaming community, kindly fuck off. Clearly, we're not your demographic, so your words have no place here.

Yer man o said:
So is he suggesting the Kinect is suitable for FPS games?
It strikes me as the least suitable. At least the others have something to point at the screen other than your finger...
Well, it kinda is for teabagging. Gotta hand it to MS, they know how to cater to their fanbase...
Anyway, LOLWUT?! Does MS have some sort of minimum retard requirement before one can be employed? I guess this moron isn't aware that there are *gasp* OTHER fps-s than Halo?

These clowns think that by announcing something, that makes it true.

He knows it's not true, but he also knows that plenty of people have no idea whether it's true, and if he claims it's true, a number of those will just assume he's right.

It's pretty much the same philosophy as that of the republican party.

Microsoft's Kudo Tsunoda says "hardly anyone" plays shooters on the PC anymore because Halo [http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Reach-Xbox-360/dp/B002BSA20M/ref=sr_1_1?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285002869&sr=8-1] did such a great job of making the genre "all about the console."
I'm sorry, I had to stop reading there after I decided, in favor of my health, to limit myself to one facepalm per thread...

Wait, isn´t playing a game with totally unsuited controlers a sign of the TRUE hardcore?
Like, Modern Warfare on the Wii, can it get any harder?

I never got why one would play fps on the console, if one could in any way help it.
But on the other hand, everything is very PC centred where I live anyway, so my exposure to them has not been extensive.

I couldn't help but laugh at how stupid that fellow is. The keyboard+mouse combo is far better than 2 sticks.

I think... I don't know what to think. The guy is demonstrably wrong. I was going to say, 'maybe it's a regional thing', but he's the head of EA Chicago, not some reclusive Japanese developer who has no interest in crazy Western games.

Well, he was making a good point until he got to the "nobody plays FPS on PC thanks to Halo" part. I seem to recall a lot of pissed off MW2 fans when they found out it wouldn't have dedicated servers.

Honestly between Greenburg and Tsunoda...

Or if you're going to bash, make it funny like Sony did. I love the Yaybuttons website.

Epic moronism.

This guy should be tied to a tree, gagged and have honey / raw beef poured on him. That should take care of him.

And now we know why Games for Windows Live sucks so much shit.

Like I said in the other thread, I hope this guy's in the unemployment line now.
