"We appreciate Bloomberg's foray into fiction and look forward to future episodes."

Boom! PR should always be this snarky

The Antitype · Nov 9, 2013

LOL, That is an amazing response.

kittens · Nov 9, 2013

Hahahaha, brilliant.

Sydle · Nov 9, 2013

Yeah, I thought it was pretty much agreed in the other thread that this came from Elop's camp in an effort to drum up some interests. Most people can see through it.

Jotamide · Nov 9, 2013

Sony PR good as always... Wait what?

SwiftDeath · Nov 9, 2013

Why can't MS's PR be this on point in all facets?

that is simply a great response

Gaz_RB · Nov 9, 2013

Hilarious.

Proelite · Nov 9, 2013

JaggedSac · Nov 9, 2013

Lol nice

Heretic · Nov 9, 2013

Oh snap!

Anonumos · Nov 9, 2013

Dat godlike response

disastermouse · Nov 9, 2013

Elop would be the death of MS. The living room is the only place in the post-PC space where they aren't DOA.

Chuck · Nov 9, 2013

CSX · Nov 9, 2013

nice

freenudemacusers · Nov 9, 2013

get these dudes on xbox pr

NintendoRev · Nov 9, 2013

Ah... Bloomberg is getting ridiculous these days. Good on MS for calling them out.

cchum · Nov 9, 2013

Eh I prefer lord of the rings snark

Broken Joystick · Nov 9, 2013

Damn.

Killthee · Nov 9, 2013

Intheflorsh · Nov 9, 2013

Classy.

But we shall see...

GoofsterStud · Nov 9, 2013

Now I'm even more sure it's true.

EvB · Nov 9, 2013

Boom! Bloomberg used to be a reputable news source , until it took an MS to the knee

Elop is probably the most likely candidate to keep Ballmer's policies.

To be fair a lot of MS PR is currently also based on fiction so they are pretty much experts in it.

Slowdive · Nov 9, 2013

Hahaha, nice.

Chie Satonaka · Nov 9, 2013

Ouch.

Ouch.

Puppet Shadow · Nov 9, 2013

Ya, that's how you do PR. Good job on the response, Microsoft.

Impeccable · Nov 9, 2013

And thus begins Bloomberg digging deeper. Good luck.

Syphon Filter · Nov 9, 2013

Shots fired.

Nilaul · Nov 9, 2013

YO Microsoft! I heard that Google would do a better job at running your Xbox business but I guess you would rather commit a Seppuku then to sell yourself to Google.

ShirAhava · Nov 9, 2013

MS PR....Good? It MUST be true lol

-Pyromaniac- · Nov 9, 2013

lol...pretty funny.

bigbaldwolf86 · Nov 9, 2013

Whoever came up with this response should be in charge of all future MS PR responses. This is brilliant

Toki767 · Nov 9, 2013

Even if it were true, they aren't going to admit it.

The line was very clever though.

TheRealTalker · Nov 9, 2013

well I guess we now know the Xbox's divisions new TV series after Halo

tapedeck · Nov 9, 2013

apana · Nov 9, 2013

Bloomberg better have a response for this, otherwise they just got owned.

shem935 · Nov 9, 2013

weekend_warrior · Nov 9, 2013

Oh snap!

Pun intended?

Wishmaster92 · Nov 9, 2013

commedieu · Nov 9, 2013

lol.. hell yeah MS.

lol @ bloomberg getting razzed by the worst PR known to man, in the world.

Killer · Nov 9, 2013

Good thing that MS PR didn't forget how to laugh.

Khalifa Jayy · Nov 9, 2013

Bodied.

Hero_of_the_Day · Nov 9, 2013

LOL. That's pretty good.

Papercuts · Nov 9, 2013

Lmao. Nice response.

Wickerbasket · Nov 9, 2013

Funny reply; not really sure what else they could have said.

Guevara · Nov 9, 2013

But "Elop is willing to consider kill Bing and spinning off Xbox" as originally reported is almost certainly true.

I don't get all the oh-snap and Bloomberg-got-told responses.

Face it Tiger.. · Nov 9, 2013

oooh kill 'em

jem0208 · Nov 9, 2013

Fantastic response.

If only MS' PR had been this good for the last few months.
