I remember hating Sony's execs and PR people for all the bullcrap that came out of their mouths during the early PS3 days.
MS is almost as bad now, I can't believe it. They learned nothing from Sony's mistakes, nothing!
Fire this guy, MS.

It's inaccurate as a reason why the PS4 is outselling the Xbox One. It's a reason why the Xbox One is being outsold by as much as it is, but even if Sony were only in those 13 markets, the PS4 would still be outselling the Xbox One.
Because in every market that both consoles are in, MS are being outsold.
I can't believe they still think that Xbox 360 owners are automatically going to switch to Xbox One. The only advantage you have is that you don't have to repopulate your friends list if you stay loyal. That is literally it. There is no other incentive to upgrade from 360 to Xbox One over PS4.

Holy shit.
They need to get a muzzle on these Xbox executives already! Every time they open their mouth it just gets worse!
With PlayStation plus and dark souls 2 I play my ps3 more than ever, really. Plus with the free multiplayer I have shifted a lot of my favorite last gen multiplayer games like black ops 1 to the ps3 version because fucj paying for Xbox live.
My Xbox 360 has been sitting in the closet for the last year or so..

Is currently staging a hunger strike outside Gearbox HQ while trying to hate them to death
Reasons
- Xbox 360 owners enjoy their systems more than PlayStation 3 owners do, so they are less inclined to upgrade.
This can't actually be true, there's no way anybody at MS is stupid enough to say this.
And we all know how good Xbox is doing in these remaining markets.....
This gif is hilarious. Holmes & Watson are the best.
The spin will not stop here it will continue to twirl all year. Good job Yusuf!
I find this guy insufferable on stage. He's even worse in interviews. Please stop talking,
It's threadworthy.
"Xbox 360 owners enjoy their systems more than PlayStation 3 owners do, so they are less inclined to upgrade."
Or the 360 owners are not as happy as you think due to a lack of exclusives in the last couple of years, so those ready to upgrade to current-gen are going with a PS4 because Sony didn't abandon the PS3.

For me he is actually right.. somewhat. I am currently not interested in the Xbox One, because I still enjoy my 360 and I have the patience to wait untill the official launch this September + if I was fed up with my 360, since I didn't like playing on it anymore (which I don't) I would probably buy the next gen (for me still) version sooner.
I do agree that he shouldn't have said that, since everything MS says is put under a ginormous microscope + it's just not a smart thing to say by itself. But this is GAF so we blow stuff up and like to talk about mostly negative stuff.
Yes in total for all next gen consoles, which is still amazingly ridiculous. No idea why he would say such a crazy thing.
Untrue as far as I know from the interview I saw. There he was talking about those numbers for all next gen consoles.

These are the same shills who tried pushing the DRM stuff. Of course they have to come from a position that their consumers don't have a modicum of intelligence.

Pretty major European gaming markets though. But going by what EuroGAF'ers are saying around this forum, it sounds like the Xbone is pretty much available all over Europe now, not just in Scandinavia.

I've seen some stupid PR quotes in my life but this takes the cake.
PS4 is outselling the X1 even in the individual markets where both are available.
Holy shit there's so much wrong with this sentence I don't even know where to start.
Considering how they dropped the 360 and looking at the amazing year the PS3 had in 2013 and the amount of quality games it's still getting specially from Japan, it really takes some balls to make such a ridiculous (and ironic as hell) statement.

What about Asia? I honestly don't see how that is not a valid reason.

Has agent Harrison gone dark?
I do. MS doesn't sell worth a crap in Asia and they know it.

OK, I have to quote you again buddy, that's a wicked funny example and I'm now laughing my ass off. I'm picturing Rambo spraying an LMG back and forth right now.

I wonder if Yusef has a Twitter account, I would love to send him a picture showing how much I "don't" like my large PS3 collection.
Maybe I will let Phil know too, I don't know. i don't really care what he thinks but that is fine that he says that he is just another corporate mouth-piece trying to make his backtracking sound like it was part of the plan from the get-go.
He reasons are bunk because:
1) Yes more markets is helpful but no guarantee.
2) Complete bullshit that he can't prove. I know a lot of 360 guys who bought a PS4. Plus I love and still play my PS3.

Yeah, this is why people really dislike Yusuf Mehdi.
Phil Spencer needs to slap him upside the head and tell him to keep his mouth shut because it always seems like Yusuf has something queued up to make himself and the Xbox division look like complete jackasses.
