[Mudkips]

Bloomberg vs. MS PR
Whoever wins, I'll still wish they had both lost.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

good on you microsoft

 

[RedAssedApe]

be more funny if it ends up happening

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Future episodes? I'd be down for some Ballmer on Gates fanfic.

 

[Doffen]

Didn't expect that from Microsoft PR.
Great response.

 

[Cade]

Pretty great stuff.

 

[Darksol]

I'm not entirely sure I believe them, but that is exactly the proper PR response to make, given the situation: prompt, flat out denial with a side of snark.

 

[a916]

Haha, absolutely love the response!

 

[BrokenIcarus]

PR is the keyword here.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Nice.

 

[ThisWreckage]

It's a nice canned response, but it won't stop those rumors from swirling.

 

[ChosenPredator]

Shit dat MS PR responding like Nas wit the ether yo

 

[R3TRODYCE]

oooh kill 'em

LMAO.

 

[Guerilla]

What did you expect them to say about a product that is days from launching? Of course they're gonna deny it either it's true or not. That quote doesn't mean anything.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Translation: "No comment"

 

[3rdamention]

Burn, Owned, lol awesome..

 

[Insane Metal]

lol.. hell yeah MS.

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

~Hahahahaha xD

 

[Ardenyal]

It's not as easy as flipping a switch.

 

[tino]

Bloomberg you heard them. More Elop episodes!

 

[Wille517]

Bloomberg you heard them. More Elop episodes!

Yeah sounds like they struck a nerve to me.

 

[allan-bh]

Just perfect.

 

[Barakov]

Haha. Excellent reply.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Ha Brilliant Response

 

[pizzapizza64]

Legendary response!

 

[def sim]

I understand the need for this response, but didn't expect the sass. Surprising from PR.

 

[TheGreyHulk]

now that's how you do good PR responses, MS. nicely done.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

I don't really get those responses here. Of course he would not have said anything different. This doesn't mean that they won't get rid of the Xbox division and bing in the future.

 

[sflufan]

 

[starwarsfan541]

Yea, because its a great idea to say we are selling it off/

 

[sflufan]

It's not WHAT was said, it's HOW it was said.

 

[Hyunickel]

Best PR response so far! Did Forza running at 1080p change his mind?

 

[The Flash]

DAYUM!

 

[xxracerxx]

First good PR from MS this year. You are almost there MS!

 

[statham]

Boom

 

[oneida]

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

just curious - what, then, could they say to convince you its bullshit if saying it's bullshit means that it's true?

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Burnnn.

 

[djshauny]

Made me chuckle

 

[Hyunickel]

just curious - what, then, could they say to convince you its bullshit if saying it's bullshit means that it's true?

They obviously have to do an unedited 1080p version of them saying it out loud.

 

[TheLegendary]

Legendary response!

Yes

 

[Gamerloid]

Great response.

 

[Slayer-33]

Holy shit god damn lol

 

[Respawn]

Saving this thread for when it does sell off muwhahaha

 

[flamingotripod]

I said GOD DAMN

Bloomsberg plz respond

 

[jond76]

Should have been first post! Wait... What?...


Great response tho.

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

5 days later, the XBox division is sold off and dissolved...

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

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

that is simply a great response

I guess the PR team didn't come from the Xbox division....

 

[hoos30]

It burns!!!!!

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Saving this thread for when it does sell off muwhahaha

Oh, I can see that happening a year or so down the road if the XBox One struggles, but it doesn't take away from the awesome reply.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Fantastic response.

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

Microsoft's PR is shit for Xbox division. When Bing gets involved, shit means business.
