[url]http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/06/microsoft-employees-ambush-wii-u-best-buy-events-to-promote-xbox-one/[/url] [quote=Ubergizmo]Nintendo announced it would be bringing E3 to its fans by teaming up with Best Buy to provide Wii U kiosks with demos of newly announced titles at select cities across North America, which we feel was definitely a good move for the company considering how poor Wii U sales have been ever since its release this past November. But leave it to Microsoft to crash Nintendo’s party to try to persuade potential Wii U customers into buying an Xbox One instead.[/quote] NeoGAF thread (which was actually cited from /v/, but the thread is probably pruned by now): [url]http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=587891[/url] If I saw a Microsoft employee at a Best Buy kiosk, I'd say "something that third-world countries can't even fucking play? no fucking thanks" right in their face and storm off. e: well fuck me, apparently I'm late. thought ~16h would be good enough of a search, but guess not. Welp
How low can you go?
Microsoft really fucked this one up [editline]14th June 2013[/editline] I didn't even think a console announcement could go this wrong

Is Microsoft intentionally trying to look bad? It's like Sony payed them off or something.
They would have to advertise in the Television section tho.

I don't understand how Microsoft is this stupid. Did they snort themselves retarded with hookers and blow for the last 9 years?
I wonder what's Bill's opinion on this... This must be the flop of the century.

Xbox One doesn't even have any selling points PS4 has better graphics, no bullshit DRM, works without internet, has better exclusive games, is more affordable, and the people that make it aren't acting like douchebags
[QUOTE=Evilan;41038308]I broke the rule yesterday by posting from a forum site. Prepare yourself Wickedplayer...[/QUOTE] No, you posted a reddit post detailing the bullshit features of the xbox one with the title "let's clear up the PS4 circlejerk" in sensationalist headlines. That wasn't news by any stretch of the imagination.
Yeah, I went to the Nintendo Experience in New York, the Palisades. Microsoft reps were there but I didn't notice them bothering us, the best buy employees gave them a hard time though. But I guess this is confirmed because they definitely were there. [editline]14th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Vedicardi;41038661]sounds like bullshit to me[/QUOTE] No it really happened. And I've got the luigi hat to prove it.
