Or is it 3rd console arrogance?

That statement isn't wrong, it's saying exactly what you just said spartandude.spartandude said:
OT: Can he just like, shut up? Everything he has said has made people even more frustrated/pissed at MS so why does he keep talking?

Get infinity friends, buy 2 PS4 [footnote]or any other console besides XBox One[/footnote] games each, share the disks. Voila! All of you now have twice infinity games (without any restrictions).
Sorry, it just bugs me when I hear the XBox One's ability to share games with other people as some sort of new feature, and not something I've been doing all my life.
Yeah, that might be true if most people didn't already own devices capable of doing half the shit that they are using to justify the giant price tag.
If I'd just been thawed out of an glacier and didn't already have a cable box or a PS3 to watch Netflix on or a laptop to Skype on then maybe I'd care about their bells and whistles.

Worse, it's sort of like they can't decide. Like, the "it's totally a good value" comes off as hedging from a group who's been all "hahaha yeah. Where you gonna go, bro? Sony? No way, bro. You're not gonna go to Sony. Get real, bro! You're gonna be back wanting allllll this...."Dastardly said:
At this point I can't tell if they're totally boasting here, or if they're actually trying to reassure us that it's an awesome deal so pwease buy our console before mean mr scrooge takes away awwwww our widdle bwankets!
Seriously, this is happening so often now... It's damn near comical, and would be if it wasn't telling of how far up their own ass Microsoft is. Of course, most of their statements are coming through Matty here, so it could be that he's just really bad at talking to people. Or hell, could be both. Probably both.
EDIT: Just realized thanks to that link that Sony, which failed at start last gen because of the price point, have not actually upped their out-of-the-gate console price. Just find it ironic that Sony kept its price point the same, and Microsoft jumped up $300 extra. Hmmm...

I read the title of this article and thought "Over-deliver? Only a complete hack would make that sort of statement. I wonder if Don Mattrick has anything to do with this..."faefrost said:
Suffice it to say I was not surprised. Does anyone take this guy seriously anymore?
I believe that this is about the way microsoft HQ looks around about now:Corain said:
OT: Ahahahahahahaha. Sure. Sure it does. What do I get for £430? A weaker piece of hardware, a camera I dont want, and a demand for me to phone home to prove I'm not stealing things.
I would say it's more a curse. Neither Nintendo nor Sega were being arrogant about their systems. Well, I guess I can't say for certain on the Saturn; though it's always been my understanding that it's failing was more in the system just being completely unspectacular than in Sega doing something because they felt infallible. As for the N64, Nintendo wasn't really being arrogant by sticking to cartridges, they just weren't convinced by discs yet.Ed130 said:
