it's becoming very one sided here. Use to seem very balanced, but the last 6 months, a biased has very much grown here and seems to be going against everything that neogaf stood for.
Are you new here?
There's no fixed company bias.
Everything is scrutinized. You're seeing it as "people disliking something because Microsoft is involved" when in reality it is "people disliking something because the subject is lying or trying to lie".
This article is a bunch of horseshit trying to make a bad thing sound like a good thing by describing how a computer works.
Look at the Microsoft Japan thread. When asked about the success of the Xbox One, given the poor sales of the Xbox 360, the rep simply tells the person that those numbers aren't public, when they VERY MUCH ARE.
Ever since the Xbox One has been revealed, Microsoft has literally everything possible in their power to alienate their customers, developers and suppliers.
NONE of what is happening to Microsoft isn't deserved.
They wanted to fuck over Mom & Pop used game stores by blocking used game sales.
They wanted to fuck over customers by making your device worthless once the servers die, and make trading games impossible. Even going so far as to saying "We have an offline console. It's called the Xbox 360."
They wanted to fuck over indie developers by giving them late access and substandard dev kits.
This isn't about Sony. This isn't about Nintendo, Apple, Google, or system wars at this point. This is enjoying the incredible carnival that Microsoft has been putting on since their reveal.
While you may have some allegiance to the Xbox 360, since you may have invested a lot of time into it, other people are able to step back from their game library and objectively examine the situation and go "Well, shit. They done fucked up."
I think GAF being pro Sony is great and healthy, I just get frustrated with how Anti Xbox One it is as a person settled on getting an Xbox One at launch.
So your problem is that you dislike negative things being brought to light about a product you are about to invest in. And instead of investing in something else, you're trying to minimize, in your mind, the actual reality of it.
