MS Drops Big Cash

Xbox360 + PS3 + Kotaku + Fanboys + Comments + Microsoft
06.18.2007 at 9:54 am

Kotaku is reporting that the amount dropped on exclusive GTA content is $50,000,000. That’s a pretty good sum but more fun to us is the good ol’ fashion fanboy slug feast that ensues.

“I can’t imagine this will have a big impact on the PS3 version, most people probably won’t download it anyway. Wasted money.”

“It’s a lot of money, but if MS are certain it will help convince people into buying a 360 instead of a PS3 then it could be money well spent. And if it works they likely won’t have to pay for any more exclusives as they will have such a large install base everyone will want to be publishing on 360.”

“Yeah Rusty, most people wont download it anyway, I mean who the hell “downloads” ANYTHING nowadays!? heh heh heh (sigh).”

“Hahaha. Yah. ’cause if it’s anything people hate, it’s more content for one of the most successful franchises in gaming history. You’re right. Nobody’s interested.”

“lol, Microshit is so desperate.”

“lol, Sony fapboys are so desperate.”

“No not really. Our console happens to be future-proof. The Xbox 360 is going to be a huge fiasco just like its predecessor. If you, despite this 50 million dollar move, don’t get it, that’s your problem.”

“It’ll get better for Sony’s part soon. Sony has basically won the HD format war now as well. Prepare for onslaught, Microshit losers”

“Oh cry about it, I don’t care much about how YOUR “war” will be going, I’ll be enjoying the good content of all three brands, thank you.”

“Our console? Hahahaha. God, that’s rich. So very desperate to belong. Our console happens to be future-proof. Incidentally also present-proof, past-proof, sale-proof, profit-proof and reasonable-price-proof.”

It pretty much goes on like that for while. It’s a pretty good shot-out.

They’re attacking Sony’s home!

Fanboys + Sony + Nintendo + Home + PS3 Fanboy + Microsoft

Sony fanboys gather the wagons because the home attack has begun. Earlier Nintendo released their response to the new Sony service stating, “This is an example of Sony’s “Mii-too” approach. Today we find Microsoft’s Chris Satcheel, general manager of Microsoft’s Game Developer Group, saying Home was “not a very game-centric approach.”

Sony supporters unite!
