Another question for the Major.

Could you personalise your new first party studios I.e give them unique names? Similar to what you've done with Black Tusk etc.

Except for Osaka and maybe one of the new ones don't they all have unique names?

Welcome to Neogaf Major Nelson please tell us what was you on about when you said "i can't wait until the truth comes out" or something along those lines. Is there a secret chip ? : )

There's Osaka, and Victoria have been staffing up. Plus apparently there's a studio in Redmond and Mexico.

Maybe they will have unique names, but neither of those studios have been officially introduced yet.

 

[michaelius]

I feel kinda bad for him if he checks some xbone threads

 

[spekkeh]

Major Nelson, your console seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why is it so popular?

I want know this too. I see the preorder number and it's just.. so much Microsoft domination.. I cannot process this future. It's too much. How does it feel to have the knife in Sony and being able to twist it?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Welcome Larry.

Can we get some good Xbox One news please? Sony are killing it.

 

[AngryMoth]

One more thing before I head off for my nightly Xbox One play session: I will respect what NeoGaf is over here and won't roll in spouting empty marketing buzzwords or phrases. I'll try to answer questions as directly as I can with respect to my NDA.
If I can't answer anything, I'll keep my mouth shut. As a gamer and member of the gaming industry, I am really excited for this Holiday and what great gaming it will bring.

Much respect for this. Good to have you with us

Why was J Allard banned? :O

Guessing it must have been a fake since non of his posts seem bannable

 

[madmackem]

Question for major, did you do any market research or tests of the £429 price tag? Thats pretty much the most expensive console to hit the market and its a million miles away from the 360 launch price of £279. Thats a very hefty price tag and is one that is putting off some people i know even with the free limited copy of fifa.

Well probably Phil Spencer is the dude who is charge of that stuff.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

And why did he leave Xbox? These are questions that we'll never get the answer to.

They converted the Xbox Live store from using Allards to local currencies.

Hi Larry,

What do you think of Janelle Monáe's new album, The Electric Lady (available in the UK now on iTunes and in the US tomorrow!!).

I think it's a strong album of the year contender, you?

Best,
godelsmetric

 

[Opus Angelorum]

^ lol

 

[JaggedSac]

Damn, that wasn't really J Allard. That would have been awesome.

 

[raphier]

Major and cboat... Gaf just become the most awkward place to be

 

[Hot Coldman]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE NEO GEE AY EFF

 

[DSix]

Forgive me for asking, but who is this guy and why is this such a big deal?

Nothing more than a MS PR mouthpiece. But at least he's not astrosurfing and we know it's him.

 

[Scrum]

Welcome Major

Remember this:

What happens on Neogaf stays on Neogaf

Spoiler

You are just looking here to see if im kidding...and yes I am

 

[Hindle]

Yea that makes sense. A silly question to ask lol he's not going to answer.

 

[XeNoN89]

Yay more PR nonsense. Unfortunately I ignore pretty much everything that Major Nelsons says after the lies which were being told prior to the 360 launch.

One shall stand, one shall fall.

Welcome Major, look forward to reading your posts.

I hope Shu requests an account here, would be freakin epic.

 

[I-hate-u]

I don't think PR machines on GAF is a good idea.

So why come into a thread made to welcome him then?

Give him a chance at least!


Welcome Major Nelson.

His post history has been pretty anti-MS so it's to be expected.

 

[Phat Michael]

I look forward to many years of these kind of insightful posts.

My god man - you werent wrong: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/search.php?searchid=6031373

It reads like a very pro sony anti MS troll account indeed - its like clockwork seriously looking through it...

 

[Dr. Kaos]

Welcome Major, come play in the mud with us.

 

[Jack_AG]

I don't like it...it disrespects the teams that have put in thousands of hours (already) into the development of the product. Sure, it's cheeky but I don't care for it myself.

No disrespect but I'd be more concerned about the disrespect given to gamers for the initial unveiling and DRM-stricken vision of the box created by those thousands of hours. The name is fitting, 180 or not. Its been obvious that this is a very rough period for the Xbox brand but I hope you and those at MS finally take note of your own mistakes since MS seems ignorant to the same mistakes Sony made at the start of this past gen: arrogance.

You should expect nothing more in return than what you have shown gamers, Major. It shouldn't come as a surprise and if it does there's more work that needs to be done to put your finger back on the pulse of gamers and put ignorance aside.

Bring back the allards no store would sell $25 coupons for $18 :'(

The 360 may have been £279, but that was 7+ year ago, if you account for inflation the 360 actually cost more.

[fantomena]

Hey, Major, nice to see you here!

Could you please slap the person(s) who delayed the Xbone in Scandianvia?

Also, Xbone is a cool name.

 

[Ubiquitar]

Well Mr. Nelson, this means you can no longer give Mr. Penello a hard time.

 

[DEADEVIL]

Welcome to the Major.

Huge fan of the Podcast and always thought he had a great job being on the inside during the 369 heydays.

Glad he can post directly to GAF and squash some of the silliness before it gets out of hand.

Xbox won is a better name.

 

[Shaneus]

OH SHIT I JUST "GOT" MAJOR NELSON'S NAME.

Major Nelson = character from I Dream of Genie. Played by Larry Hagman. Major Nelson's (of MS) name is Larry Hryb.

I GET IT NOW.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Welcome!

Flip a switch and make our current Xbox wheels work in Forza 5, we're losing good men here.

Men who'd buy DLC.

Please let us preload Xbox One games on the 360 for us to copy over. So far I'm gonna have to spend most of launch day just downloading!
