probably one of the most disastrous reveals in history that the company is still contending with years later.
the drama was delicious though, I wasn’t planning on buying one so I just got to sit back and enjoy it. i was eating for days lmao
The drama was delicious and meme-worthy, and Don Mattrick’s PR attempts fueled it more. What kind of idiot says “don’t buy our new console, buy the Xbox 360”? The always-online-DRM was then dropped but the damage had been done, and Phil Spencer stepping in mitigated it somewhat.
Remember when it was going to be a DRM-laden garbage fire? Forcing you to connect online every day, and not allowing you to sell your used games?
Yeah, Microsoft really dropped the ball on that generations introduction to the system. Sony rightfully dunked on them with their “How to share games on PlayStation”, that was hilarious.
However, I feel like all that DRM stuff is going to happen one way or another anyway at some point.
Thank you for making me search that up! Somehow I missed it back in that day, and turns out it’s still funny.

Does anyone have the video that mashed up every time they brought up “TV” during showcases?
You mean this?
